41 These are low-level routines for creating and parsing lightweight
42 resolver address-to-name lookup request and response messages.
43 There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode. One render
45 function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure —
46 lwres_gnbarequest_t — to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
47 It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
48 canonical format to a getnamebyaddr request structure. Another render
49 function converts the getnamebyaddr response structure —
50 lwres_gnbaresponse_t to the canonical format. This is complemented by a
51 parse function which converts a packet in canonical format to a
52 getnamebyaddr response structure.
53 These structures are defined in lwres/lwres.h. They are shown below.
55 #define LWRES_OPCODE_GETNAMEBYADDR 0x00010002U
57 typedef struct {
59 uint32_t flags;
60 lwres_addr_t addr;
61 } lwres_gnbarequest_t;
62 typedef struct {
64 uint32_t flags;
65 uint16_t naliases;
66 char *realname;
67 char **aliases;
68 uint16_t realnamelen;
69 uint16_t *aliaslen;
70 void *base;
71 size_t baselen;
72 } lwres_gnbaresponse_t;
73 lwres_gnbarequest_render() uses resolver context ctx to convert
75 getnamebyaddr request structure req to canonical format. The packet
76 header structure pkt is initialised and transferred to buffer b. The
77 contents of *req are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
78 lwres_gnbaresponse_render() performs the same task, except it converts
79 a getnamebyaddr response structure lwres_gnbaresponse_t to the
80 lightweight resolver's canonical format.
81 lwres_gnbarequest_parse() uses context ctx to convert the contents of
83 packet pkt to a lwres_gnbarequest_t structure. Buffer b provides space
84 to be used for storing this structure. When the function succeeds, the
85 resulting lwres_gnbarequest_t is made available through *structp.
86 lwres_gnbaresponse_parse() offers the same semantics as
87 lwres_gnbarequest_parse() except it yields a lwres_gnbaresponse_t
88 structure.
89 lwres_gnbaresponse_free() and lwres_gnbarequest_free() release the
91 memory in resolver context ctx that was allocated to the
92 lwres_gnbaresponse_t or lwres_gnbarequest_t structures referenced via
93 structp. Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for
94 those structures is also discarded.
95
97 The getnamebyaddr opcode functions lwres_gnbarequest_render(),
98 lwres_gnbaresponse_render()lwres_gnbarequest_parse() and
99 lwres_gnbaresponse_parse() all return LWRES_R_SUCCESS on success. They
100 return LWRES_R_NOMEMORY if memory allocation fails.
101 LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND is returned if the available space in the buffer
102 b is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
103 lwres_gnbarequest_t and lwres_gnbaresponse_t structures.
104 lwres_gnbarequest_parse() and lwres_gnbaresponse_parse() will return
105 LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND if the buffer is not empty after decoding the
106 received packet. These functions will return LWRES_R_FAILURE if
107 pktflags in the packet header structure lwres_lwpacket_t indicate that
108 the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
