NAME
ares_parse_a_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type A into a hostent
SYNOPSIS
#include <ares.h> int ares_parse_a_reply(const unsigned char *abuf, int alen, struct hostent **host);
DESCRIPTION
The ares_parse_a_reply function parses the response to a query of type A into a struct hostent. The parameters abuf and alen give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by host. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure using ares_free_hostent(3) when it is no longer needed.
RETURN VALUES
ares_parse_a_reply can return any of the following values:
- ARES_SUCCESS
- The response was successfully parsed.
- ARES_EBADRESP
- The response was malformatted.
- ARES_ENODATA
- The response did not contain an answer to the query.
- ARES_ENOMEM
