NAME¶
ares_expand_string - Expand a length encoded string
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <ares.h>
int ares_expand_string(const unsigned char *encoded,
const unsigned char *abuf, int alen, unsigned char **s,
long *enclen)
DESCRIPTION¶
The
ares_expand_string function converts a length encoded string to a
NUL-terminated C string. The argument
encoded gives the beginning of
the encoded string, and the arguments
abuf and
alen give the
containing message buffer (necessary for the processing of indirection
pointers within the encoded domain name). The result is placed in a
NUL-terminated allocated buffer, a pointer to which is stored in the variable
pointed to by
s. The length of the encoded string is stored in the
variable pointed to by
enclen so that the caller can advance past the
encoded string to read further data in the message.
RETURN VALUES¶
ares_expand_string can return any of the following values:
- ARES_SUCCESS
- Expansion of the encoded string succeeded.
- ARES_EBADSTR
- The encoded string was malformed and could not be expanded.
- ARES_ENOMEM
- Memory was exhausted.
