Parse a reply to a dns query of type srv
Usage
#include <ares.h>
int ares_parse_srv_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
struct ares_srv_reply** srv_out);
Overview
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

|
The response was successfully parsed. |
|---|---|
|
