ARES_PARSE_SRV_REPLY(3)     Library Functions Manual	 ARES_PARSE_SRV_REPLY(3)

NAME
     ares_parse_srv_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type SRV

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_parse_srv_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
			      struct ares_srv_reply** srv_out);

DESCRIPTION
     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
     ares_parse_srv_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.
