The ares_dns_parse(3) function parses the buffer provided in buf with length provided in buf_len. The flags parameter can be one or more ares_dns_parse_flags_t, or zero if no flags are needed. The resulting dns record data structure is stored into the variable pointed to by dnsrec and must be destroyed using ares_dns_record_destroy(3). The ares_dns_write(3) function takes a populated DNS record structure in dnsrec and writes a wire-format DNS message into the variable pointed to by buf and writes the length of the buffer into the variable pointed to by buf_len. The buffer must be destroyed using ares_free_string(3). The ares_dns_record_create(3) function creates an empty DNS record structure in the variable pointed to by dnsrec. The id parameter is the DNS message id, however if passing to ares_send(3) this identifier will be overwritten, so should typically be 0. The flags parameter is one or more ares_dns_flags_t. The opcode is passed in the opcode para- meter and should typically be ARES_OPCODE_QUERY. The response code is meant mostly for responses and is passed in the rcode parameter and is typically ARES_RCODE_NOERROR. The ares_dns_record_duplicate(3) function duplicates an existing DNS record structure. This may be useful if needing to save a result as retrieved from ares_send_dnsrec(3) or ares_search_dnsrec(3). The structure to be duplicated is passed in the dnsrec parameter, and the duplicated copy is returned, or NULL on error such as out of memory. The ares_dns_record_get_id(3) function is used to retrieve the DNS mes- sage id from the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parameter. The ares_dns_record_set_id(3) function is used to set the DNS message id in the id parameter from the DNS record provided in the dnsrec para- meter. This id will be overwritten when passing the record to c-ares, so mostly exists for external purposes. The ares_dns_record_get_flags(3) function is used to retrieve the DNS message flags from the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parameter. The ares_dns_record_get_opcode(3) function is used to retrieve the DNS message flags from the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parameter. The ares_dns_record_get_rcode(3) function is used to retrieve the DNS message response code from the DNS record provided in the dnsrec para- meter. The ares_dns_record_query_add(3) function is used to add a question to the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parameter. The domain name spec- ified for the question is provided in the name parameter, along with the question type in the qtype parameter and the question class (typi- cally ARES_CLASS_IN) in the qclass parameter. The ares_dns_record_query_set_name(3) function is used to modify the question name in the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parameter. The index of the query, which must be less than ares_dns_record_query_cnt(3), is provided in the idx parameter. The new domain name is provided in the name parameter. Care should be taken as this will cause invalidation of any name pointer retrieved from ares_dns_Record_query_get(3). This function is useful if sending mul- tiple similar queries without re-creating the entire DNS query. The ares_dns_record_query_set_type(3) function is used to modify the question type in the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parameter. The index of the query, which must be less than ares_dns_record_query_cnt(3), is provided in the idx parameter. The new query type is provided in the qtype parameter. The ares_dns_record_query_cnt(3) function is used to retrieve the num- ber of DNS questions in the DNS record provided in the dnsrec parame- ter. The ares_dns_record_query_get(3) function is used to retrieve the de- tails of a single DNS question in the provided dnsrec parameter. The index provided in the idx parameter must be less than the value re- turned from ares_dns_record_query_cnt(3). The DNS question name will be returned in the variable pointed to by the name parameter, this may be provided as NULL if the name is not needed. This pointer will be invalided by any call to ares_dns_record_query_set_name(3). The DNS question type will be returned in the variable pointed to by the qtype parameter, this may be provided as NULL if the type is not needed. The DNS question class will be returned in the variable pointed to by the qclass parameter, this may be provided as NULL if the class is not needed. RETURN VALUES ares_dns_parse(3), ares_dns_write(3), ares_dns_record_create(3), ares_dns_record_query_add(3), and ares_dns_record_query_get(3) all re- turn an ares_status_t error code. ARES_SUCCESS is returned on success, ARES_ENOMEM is returned on out of memory, ARES_EFORMERR is returned on misuse. ares_dns_record_get_id(3), ares_dns_record_set_id(3), ares_dns_record_get_flags(3), ares_dns_record_get_opcode(3), ares_dns_record_get_rcode(3), and ares_dns_record_query_cnt(3) all re- turned their prescribed datatype values and in general can't fail ex- cept for misuse cases, in which a 0 may be returned, however 0 can also be a valid return value for most of these functions.
