SYNOPSIS

9       #include <ares.h>
10
11       int ares_parse_srv_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
12       struct ares_srv_reply** srv_out);

DESCRIPTION

15       The  ares_parse_srv_reply  function  parses  the response to a query of
16       type SRV into a linked list of  struct  ares_srv_reply  The  parameters
17       abuf  and alen give the contents of the response.  The result is stored
18       in allocated memory and a  pointer  to  it  stored  into  the  variable
19       pointed  to  by srv_out.  It is the caller's responsibility to free the
20       resulting srv_out structure when it is no longer needed using the func‐
21       tion ares_free_data
22
23       The structure ares_srv_reply contains the following fields:
24
25           struct ares_srv_reply {
26               struct ares_srv_reply  *next;
27               unsigned short weight;
28               unsigned short priority;
29               unsigned short port;
30               char *host;
31           };
32
