ARES_MKQUERY(3)		   Library Functions Manual	       ARES_MKQUERY(3)

NAME
       ares_mkquery - Compose a	single-question	DNS query buffer

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<ares.h>

       int ares_mkquery(const char *name, int dnsclass,	int type,
			unsigned short id, int rd, unsigned char **buf,
			int *buflen)

DESCRIPTION
       This   function	 is   deprecated   as	of  c-ares  1.10,  please  use
       ares_dns_record_create(3) instead.

       The ares_mkquery	function composes a DNS	query with a single  question.
       The parameter name gives	the query name as a NUL-terminated C string of
       period-separated	 labels	 optionally  ending with a period; periods and
       backslashes within a label must be escaped with a backlash.  The	 para-
       meters dnsclass and type	give the class and type	of the query using the
       values  defined	in  <arpa/nameser.h>.  The parameter id	gives a	16-bit
       identifier for the query.  The parameter	rd should be nonzero if	recur-
       sion is desired,	zero if	not.  The query	will be	placed in an allocated
       buffer, a pointer to which will be stored in the	variable pointed to by
       buf, and	the length of which will be stored in the variable pointed  to
       by buflen.  It is the caller's responsibility to	free this buffer using
       ares_free_string(3) when	it is no longer	needed.

       Usage of	ares_mkquery(3)	is deprecated, whereas the function is equiva-
       lent to ares_create_query(3) with max_udp_size set to 0.

RETURN VALUES
       ares_mkquery can	return any of the following values:

       ARES_SUCCESS   Construction of the DNS query succeeded.

       ARES_ENOTFOUND The  query name name refers to a .onion domain name. See
		      RFC 7686.

       ARES_EBADNAME  The query	name name could	not be	encoded	 as  a	domain
		      name, either because it contained	a zero-length label or
		      because it contained a label of more than	63 characters.

       ARES_ENOMEM    Memory was exhausted.
