ARES_PARSE_CAA_REPLY(3)     Library Functions Manual	 ARES_PARSE_CAA_REPLY(3)

NAME
     ares_parse_caa_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type CAA

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_parse_caa_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
			      struct ares_caa_reply **caa_out);

DESCRIPTION
     The  ares_parse_caa_reply	function  parses the response to a query of type
     CAA into a linked list (one element per sub-string) of struct  ares_caa_re-
     ply  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 caa_out.  It is the caller's responsibility to free
     the resulting caa_out structure when it is no longer needed using the func-
     tion ares_free_data(3)

     The structure ares_caa_reply(3) contains the following fields:

	 struct ares_caa_reply {
	   struct ares_caa_reply *next;
	   int			  critical;
	   unsigned char	 *property;
	   size_t		  plength; /* plength excludes null */
	   unsigned char	 *value;
	   size_t		  length;  /* length excludes null */
	 };

RETURN VALUES
     ares_parse_caa_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.
