+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+These are low\-level routines for creating and parsing lightweight resolver no\-op request and response messages\&.
+.PP
+The no\-op message is analogous to a
+\fBping\fR
+packet: a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back\&. The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is operational or not\&.
+.PP
+There are four main functions for the no\-op opcode\&. One render function converts a no\-op request structure \(em
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_t\fR
+\(em to the lightweight resolver\*(Aqs canonical format\&. It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this canonical format to a no\-op request structure\&. Another render function converts the no\-op response structure \(em
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_t\fR
+to the canonical format\&. This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in canonical format to a no\-op response structure\&.
+.PP
+These structures are defined in
+lwres/lwres\&.h\&. They are shown below\&.
+.PP
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+#define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP 0x00000000U
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+ uint16_t datalength;
+ unsigned char *data;
+} lwres_nooprequest_t;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+ uint16_t datalength;
+ unsigned char *data;
+} lwres_noopresponse_t;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+Although the structures have different types, they are identical\&. This is because the no\-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent: the response is therefore identical to the request\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_render()\fR
+uses resolver context
+\fIctx\fR
+to convert no\-op request structure
+\fIreq\fR
+to canonical format\&. The packet header structure
+\fIpkt\fR
+is initialised and transferred to buffer
+\fIb\fR\&. The contents of
+\fI*req\fR
+are then appended to the buffer in canonical format\&.
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_render()\fR
+performs the same task, except it converts a no\-op response structure
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_t\fR
+to the lightweight resolver\*(Aqs canonical format\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_parse()\fR
+uses context
+\fIctx\fR
+to convert the contents of packet
+\fIpkt\fR
+to a
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_t\fR
+structure\&. Buffer
+\fIb\fR
+provides space to be used for storing this structure\&. When the function succeeds, the resulting
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_t\fR
+is made available through
+\fI*structp\fR\&.
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_parse()\fR
+offers the same semantics as
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_parse()\fR
+except it yields a
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_t\fR
+structure\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_free()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_free()\fR
+release the memory in resolver context
+\fIctx\fR
+that was allocated to the
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_t\fR
+or
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_t\fR
+structures referenced via
+\fIstructp\fR\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+The no\-op opcode functions
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_render()\fR,
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_render()\fR\fBlwres_nooprequest_parse()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_parse()\fR
+all return
+\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR
+on success\&. They return
+\fBLWRES_R_NOMEMORY\fR
+if memory allocation fails\&.
+\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR
+is returned if the available space in the buffer
+\fIb\fR
+is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_t\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_t\fR
+structures\&.
+\fBlwres_nooprequest_parse()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_noopresponse_parse()\fR
+will return
+\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR
+if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet\&. These functions will return
+\fBLWRES_R_FAILURE\fR
+if
+\fBpktflags\fR
+in the packet header structure
+\fBlwres_lwpacket_t\fR
+indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query\&.
