ARES_PARSE_SOA_REPLY(3)     Library Functions Manual	 ARES_PARSE_SOA_REPLY(3)

NAME
     ares_parse_soa_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type SOA

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_parse_soa_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
			      struct ares_soa_reply** soa_out);

DESCRIPTION
     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:

     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.

AVAILABILITY
     This function was first introduced in c-ares version 1.9.0.
