+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBlwres_string_parse()\fR
+retrieves a DNS\-encoded string starting the current pointer of lightweight resolver buffer
+\fIb\fR: i\&.e\&.
+\fBb\->current\fR\&. When the function returns, the address of the first byte of the encoded string is returned via
+\fI*c\fR
+and the length of that string is given by
+\fI*len\fR\&. The buffer\*(Aqs current pointer is advanced to point at the character following the string length, the encoded string, and the trailing
+\fBNULL\fR
+character\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_addr_parse()\fR
+extracts an address from the buffer
+\fIb\fR\&. The buffer\*(Aqs current pointer
+\fBb\->current\fR
+is presumed to point at an encoded address: the address preceded by a 32\-bit protocol family identifier and a 16\-bit length field\&. The encoded address is copied to
+\fBaddr\->address\fR
+and
+\fBaddr\->length\fR
+indicates the size in bytes of the address that was copied\&.
+\fBb\->current\fR
+is advanced to point at the next byte of available data in the buffer following the encoded address\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR
+use the
+\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
+structure defined below:
+.PP
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+ uint32_t flags;
+ uint16_t naliases;
+ uint16_t naddrs;
+ char *realname;
+ char **aliases;
+ uint16_t realnamelen;
+ uint16_t *aliaslen;
+ lwres_addrlist_t addrs;
+ void *base;
+ size_t baselen;
+} lwres_gabnresponse_t;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+The contents of this structure are not manipulated directly but they are controlled through the
+\fBlwres_gabn\fR(3)
+functions\&.
+.PP
+The lightweight resolver uses
+\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR
+to perform forward lookups\&. Hostname
+\fIname\fR
+is looked up using the resolver context
+\fIctx\fR
+for memory allocation\&.
+\fIaddrtypes\fR
+is a bitmask indicating which type of addresses are to be looked up\&. Current values for this bitmask are
+\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V4\fR
+for IPv4 addresses and
+\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6\fR
+for IPv6 addresses\&. Results of the lookup are returned in
+\fI*structp\fR\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR
+performs reverse lookups\&. Resolver context
+\fIctx\fR
+is used for memory allocation\&. The address type is indicated by
+\fIaddrtype\fR:
+\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V4\fR
+or
+\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6\fR\&. The address to be looked up is given by
+\fIaddr\fR
+and its length is
+\fIaddrlen\fR
+bytes\&. The result of the function call is made available through
+\fI*structp\fR\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+Successful calls to
+\fBlwres_string_parse()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_addr_parse()\fR
+return
+\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\&.\fR
+Both functions return
+\fBLWRES_R_FAILURE\fR
+if the buffer is corrupt or
+\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR
+if the buffer has less space than expected for the components of the encoded string or address\&.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR
+returns
+\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR
+on success and it returns
+\fBLWRES_R_NOTFOUND\fR
+if the hostname
+\fIname\fR
+could not be found\&.
+.PP
+\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR
+is returned by a successful call to
+\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR\&.
+.PP
+Both
+\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR
+return
+\fBLWRES_R_NOMEMORY\fR
+when memory allocation requests fail and
+\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR
+if the buffers used for sending queries and receiving replies are too small\&.
