  <refsection><info><title>DESCRIPTION</title></info>

    <para>
      These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
      lightweight resolver address-to-name lookup request and
      response messages.
    </para>
    <para>
      There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode.
      One render function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure &mdash;
      <type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type> &mdash;
      to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
      It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
      canonical format to a getnamebyaddr request structure.
      Another render function converts the getnamebyaddr response structure
      &mdash;
      <type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
      to the canonical format.
      This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
      canonical format to a getnamebyaddr response structure.
    </para>
    <para>
      These structures are defined in
      <filename>lwres/lwres.h</filename>.
      They are shown below.
    </para>
    <para><programlisting>
#define LWRES_OPCODE_GETNAMEBYADDR      0x00010002U
</programlisting>
    </para>
    <para><programlisting>
typedef struct {
        uint32_t  flags;
        lwres_addr_t    addr;
} lwres_gnbarequest_t;
</programlisting>
    </para>
    <para><programlisting>
typedef struct {
        uint32_t  flags;
        uint16_t  naliases;
        char           *realname;
        char          **aliases;

</programlisting>
    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gnbarequest_render()</function>
      uses resolver context <varname>ctx</varname> to convert
      getnamebyaddr request structure <varname>req</varname> to
      canonical format.  The packet header structure
      <varname>pkt</varname> is initialised and transferred to buffer
      <varname>b</varname>.  The contents of <varname>*req</varname>
      are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
      <function>lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</function> performs the
      same task, except it converts a getnamebyaddr response structure
      <type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type> to the lightweight resolver's
      canonical format.
    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
      uses context <varname>ctx</varname> to convert the contents of
      packet <varname>pkt</varname> to a
      <type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type> structure.  Buffer
      <varname>b</varname> provides space to be used for storing this
      structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting
      <type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type> is made available through
      <varname>*structp</varname>.
      <function>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</function> offers the same
      semantics as <function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
      except it yields a <type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type> structure.
    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gnbaresponse_free()</function>
      and <function>lwres_gnbarequest_free()</function> release the
      memory in resolver context <varname>ctx</varname> that was
      allocated to the <type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type> or
      <type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type> structures referenced via
      <varname>structp</varname>.  Any memory associated with
      ancillary buffers and strings for those structures is also
      discarded.
    </para>

  <refsection><info><title>RETURN VALUES</title></info>

    <para>
      The getnamebyaddr opcode functions
      <function>lwres_gnbarequest_render()</function>,
      <function>lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</function>
      <function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
      and
      <function>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</function>
      all return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
      on success.
      They return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</errorcode>
      if memory allocation fails.
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
      is returned if the available space in the buffer
      <varname>b</varname>
      is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
      <type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type>
      and
      <type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
      structures.
      <function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
      and
      <function>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</function>
      will return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
      if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
      These functions will return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>
      if
      <varname remap="structfield">pktflags</varname>
      in the packet header structure
      <type>lwres_lwpacket_t</type>
      indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
