dns_ip6_qualify(3)	    Library Functions Manual	      dns_ip6_qualify(3)

NAME
     dns_ip6_qualify - qualify name and look up IPv6 addresses

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/dns.h>

     int dns_ip6_qualify(stralloc* out,stralloc* fqdn,
			 const stralloc* udn);

DESCRIPTION
     dns_ip6_qualify  feeds  the  name	udn  through  qualification and looks up
     16-byte IPv6 addresses for the result. It puts the fully  qualified  domain
     name  into  fqdn,	puts the concatenation of the IP addresses into out, and
     returns 0. If the domain does not exist in DNS, or has no IP addresses, out
     will be empty.

     dns_ip6_qualify also looks up 4-byte IPv4 addresses and converts them  into
     IPv4-mapped  IPv6 addresses (::ffff:1.2.3.4) to provide easy backwards com-
     patibility for IPv6 applications.

     If dns_ip6_qualify has trouble with the  qualification,  has  trouble  with
     DNS,  or runs out of memory, it returns -1, setting errno appropriately. It
     may or may not change out and fqdn.
