ARES_PARSE_SRV_REPLY(3) Library Functions Manual ARES_PARSE_SRV_REPLY(3) NAME ares_parse_srv_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type SRV SYNOPSIS #include int ares_parse_srv_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen, struct ares_srv_reply** srv_out); DESCRIPTION The ares_parse_srv_reply function parses the response to a query of type SRV into a linked list of struct ares_srv_reply 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 srv_out. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting srv_out structure when it is no longer needed using the function ares_free_data(3). The structure ares_srv_reply contains the following fields: struct ares_srv_reply { struct ares_srv_reply *next; unsigned short weight; unsigned short priority; unsigned short port; char *host; }; RETURN VALUES ares_parse_srv_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 Memory was exhausted.
