#include <lwres/lwres.h>
lwres_result_t lwres_context_create(lwres_context_t **contextp,
void *arg,
lwres_malloc_t malloc_function,
lwres_free_t free_function);

void lwres_context_initserial(lwres_context_t *ctx,
lwres_uint32_t serial);
lwres_uint32_t lwres_context_nextserial(lwres_context_t *ctx);
void lwres_context_freemem(lwres_context_t *ctx, void *mem,
size_t len);
void lwres_context_allocmem(lwres_context_t *ctx, size_t len);
void * lwres_context_sendrecv(lwres_context_t *ctx, void *sendbase,
int sendlen, void *recvbase, int recvlen,
int *recvd_len);
DESCRIPTION
lwres_context_create() creates a lwres_context_t structure for use in
lightweight resolver operations. It holds a socket and other data
needed for communicating with a resolver daemon. The new
lwres_context_t is returned through contextp, a pointer to a
lwres_context_t pointer. This lwres_context_t pointer must initially be
NULL, and is modified to point to the newly created lwres_context_t.
When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory
allocation, it will call malloc_function to allocate memory and
free_function to free it. If malloc_function and free_function are
NULL, memory is allocated using malloc(3). and free(3). It is not
permitted to have a NULL malloc_function and a non-NULL free_function
or vice versa. arg is passed as the first parameter to the memory
allocation functions. If malloc_function and free_function are NULL,
arg is unused and should be passed as NULL.
Once memory for the structure has been allocated, it is initialized
using lwres_conf_init(3) and returned via *contextp.
lwres_context_destroy() destroys a lwres_context_t, closing its socket.
contextp is a pointer to a pointer to the context that is to be
destroyed. The pointer will be set to NULL when the context has been
destroyed.
The context holds a serial number that is used to identify resolver
request packets and associate responses with the corresponding
requests. This serial number is controlled using
lwres_context_initserial() and lwres_context_nextserial().
lwres_context_initserial() sets the serial number for context *ctx to
serial. lwres_context_nextserial() increments the serial number and
returns the previous value.
Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed using
lwres_context_allocmem() and lwres_context_freemem(). These use
whatever allocations were defined when the context was created with
lwres_context_create(). lwres_context_allocmem() allocates len bytes
of memory and if successful returns a pointer to the allocated storage.
lwres_context_freemem() frees len bytes of space starting at location
mem.
lwres_context_sendrecv() performs I/O for the context ctx. Data are
read and written from the context's socket. It writes data from
sendbase — typically a lightweight resolver query packet — and waits
for a reply which is copied to the receive buffer at recvbase. The
number of bytes that were written to this receive buffer is returned in
*recvd_len.
RETURN VALUES
lwres_context_create() returns LWRES_R_NOMEMORY if memory for the
struct lwres_context could not be allocated, LWRES_R_SUCCESS otherwise.
Successful calls to the memory allocator lwres_context_allocmem()
return a pointer to the start of the allocated space. It returns NULL
if memory could not be allocated.
LWRES_R_SUCCESS is returned when lwres_context_sendrecv() completes
successfully. LWRES_R_IOERROR is returned if an I/O error occurs and
LWRES_R_TIMEOUT is returned if lwres_context_sendrecv() times out
waiting for a response.
