.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBlwres_context_create()\fR
creates a
\fBlwres_context_t\fR
structure for use in lightweight resolver operations\&. It holds a socket and other data needed for communicating with a resolver daemon\&. The new
\fBlwres_context_t\fR
is returned through
\fIcontextp\fR, a pointer to a
\fBlwres_context_t\fR
pointer\&. This
\fBlwres_context_t\fR
pointer must initially be NULL, and is modified to point to the newly created
\fBlwres_context_t\fR\&.
.PP
When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory allocation, it will call
\fImalloc_function\fR
to allocate memory and
\fIfree_function\fR
to free it\&. If
\fImalloc_function\fR
and
\fIfree_function\fR
are NULL, memory is allocated using
\fBmalloc\fR(3)\&. and
\fBfree\fR(3)\&. It is not permitted to have a NULL
\fImalloc_function\fR
and a non\-NULL
\fIfree_function\fR
or vice versa\&.
\fIarg\fR
is passed as the first parameter to the memory allocation functions\&. If
\fImalloc_function\fR
and
\fIfree_function\fR
are NULL,
\fIarg\fR
is unused and should be passed as NULL\&.
.PP
Once memory for the structure has been allocated, it is initialized using
\fBlwres_conf_init\fR(3)
and returned via
\fI*contextp\fR\&.
.PP
\fBlwres_context_destroy()\fR
destroys a
\fBlwres_context_t\fR, closing its socket\&.
\fIcontextp\fR
is a pointer to a pointer to the context that is to be destroyed\&. The pointer will be set to NULL when the context has been destroyed\&.
.PP
The context holds a serial number that is used to identify resolver request packets and associate responses with the corresponding requests\&. This serial number is controlled using
\fBlwres_context_initserial()\fR
and
\fBlwres_context_nextserial()\fR\&.
\fBlwres_context_initserial()\fR
sets the serial number for context
\fI*ctx\fR
to
\fIserial\fR\&.
\fBlwres_context_nextserial()\fR
increments the serial number and returns the previous value\&.
.PP
Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed using
\fBlwres_context_allocmem()\fR
and
\fBlwres_context_freemem()\fR\&. These use whatever allocations were defined when the context was created with
\fBlwres_context_create()\fR\&.
\fBlwres_context_allocmem()\fR
allocates
\fIlen\fR
bytes of memory and if successful returns a pointer to the allocated storage\&.
\fBlwres_context_freemem()\fR
frees
\fIlen\fR
bytes of space starting at location
\fImem\fR\&.
.PP
\fBlwres_context_sendrecv()\fR
performs I/O for the context
\fIctx\fR\&. Data are read and written from the context\*(Aqs socket\&. It writes data from
\fIsendbase\fR
\(em typically a lightweight resolver query packet \(em and waits for a reply which is copied to the receive buffer at
\fIrecvbase\fR\&. The number of bytes that were written to this receive buffer is returned in
\fI*recvd_len\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.PP
\fBlwres_context_create()\fR
returns
\fBLWRES_R_NOMEMORY\fR
if memory for the
\fBstruct lwres_context\fR
could not be allocated,
\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR
otherwise\&.
.PP
Successful calls to the memory allocator
\fBlwres_context_allocmem()\fR
return a pointer to the start of the allocated space\&. It returns NULL if memory could not be allocated\&.
.PP
\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR
is returned when
\fBlwres_context_sendrecv()\fR
completes successfully\&.
\fBLWRES_R_IOERROR\fR
is returned if an I/O error occurs and
\fBLWRES_R_TIMEOUT\fR
is returned if
\fBlwres_context_sendrecv()\fR
times out waiting for a response\&.
