ARES_PARSE_MX_REPLY(3)	    Library Functions Manual	  ARES_PARSE_MX_REPLY(3)

NAME
     ares_parse_mx_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type MX

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_parse_mx_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
			     struct ares_mx_reply** mx_out);

DESCRIPTION
     The  ares_parse_mx_reply function parses the response to a query of type MX
     into a linked list of struct ares_mx_reply The  parameters  abuf  and  alen
     give  the contents of the response.  The result is stored in allocated mem-
     ory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by mx_out.   It
     is  the caller's responsibility to free the resulting mx_out structure when
     it is no longer needed using the function ares_free_data(3).

     The structure ares_mx_reply contains the following fields:

	 struct ares_mx_reply {
	     struct ares_mx_reply *next;
	     char *host;
	     unsigned short priority;
	 };

RETURN VALUES
     ares_parse_mx_reply can return any of the following values:

     ARES_SUCCESS   The response was successfully parsed.

     ARES_EBADRESP  The response was malformatted.

     ARES_ENODATA   The response did not contain an answer to the query.

     ARES_ENOMEM    Memory was exhausted.
