.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
These are low\-level routines for creating and parsing lightweight resolver address\-to\-name lookup request and response messages.
.PP
There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode. One render function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure \(em
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
\(em to the lightweight resolver's canonical format. It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this canonical format to a getnamebyaddr request structure. Another render function converts the getnamebyaddr response structure \(em
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
to the canonical format. This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in canonical format to a getnamebyaddr response structure.
.PP
These structures are defined in
\fIlwres/lwres.h\fR. They are shown below.

\fBlwres_gnbarequest_render()\fR
uses resolver context
\fIctx\fR
to convert getnamebyaddr request structure
\fIreq\fR
to canonical format. The packet header structure
\fIpkt\fR
is initialised and transferred to buffer
\fIb\fR. The contents of
\fI*req\fR
are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_render()\fR
performs the same task, except it converts a getnamebyaddr response structure
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
.PP
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_parse()\fR
uses context
\fIctx\fR
to convert the contents of packet
\fIpkt\fR
to a
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
structure. Buffer
\fIb\fR
provides space to be used for storing this structure. When the function succeeds, the resulting
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
is made available through
\fI*structp\fR.
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_parse()\fR
offers the same semantics as
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_parse()\fR
except it yields a
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
structure.
.PP
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_free()\fR
and
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_free()\fR
release the memory in resolver context
\fIctx\fR
that was allocated to the
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
or
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
structures referenced via
\fIstructp\fR. Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those structures is also discarded.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.PP
The getnamebyaddr opcode functions
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_render()\fR,
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_render()\fR
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_parse()\fR
and
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_parse()\fR
all return
\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR
on success. They return
\fBLWRES_R_NOMEMORY\fR
if memory allocation fails.
\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR
is returned if the available space in the buffer
\fIb\fR
is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
and
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
structures.
\fBlwres_gnbarequest_parse()\fR
and
\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_parse()\fR
will return
\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR
if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet. These functions will return
\fBLWRES_R_FAILURE\fR
if
pktflags
in the packet header structure
\fBlwres_lwpacket_t\fR
indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
