ares_parse_soa_reply3
Parse a reply to a dns query of type soa
Usage
#include <ares.h>
int ares_parse_soa_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
struct ares_soa_reply** soa_out);
Overview
The ares_parse_soa_reply function parses the response to a query of type SOA into a struct ares_soa_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 soa_out. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting soa_out structure when it is no longer needed using the function ares_free_data(3).
The structure ares_soa_reply contains the following fields:
struct ares_soa_reply {
char *nsname;
char *hostmaster;
unsigned int serial;
unsigned int refresh;
unsigned int retry;
unsigned int expire;
unsigned int minttl;
};
Return values
ares_parse_soa_reply can return any of the following values:
|
The response was successfully parsed. |
|---|---|
|
The response was malformatted. |
|
The response did not contain an answer to the query. |
|
Memory was exhausted. |
