NAME

6       ares_parse_ns_reply  -  Parse  a reply to a DNS query of type NS into a
7       hostent

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <ares.h>
11
12       int ares_parse_ns_reply(const unsigned char *abuf, int alen,
13            struct hostent **host);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The ares_parse_ns_reply function parses the response to a query of type
17       NS  into  a struct hostent.  The parameters abuf and alen give the con‐
18       tents of the response.  The result is stored in allocated memory and  a
19       pointer  to  it stored into the variable pointed to by host.  The name‐
20       servers are stored into the aliases field of the host structure.  It is
21       the  caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure using
22       ares_free_hostent(3) when it is no longer needed.
