NAME
_getlong - Retrieves 32-bit quantities from a byte stream LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/nameser.h> #include <resolv.h> unsigned int _getlong ( u_char *message_ptr ); PARAMETERS
Specifies a pointer into the byte stream. DESCRIPTION
The _getlong() function gets 32-bit quantities from the byte stream or arbitrary byte boundaries. The _getlong() function is one of a set of subroutines that form the resolver, a set of functions that resolves domain names. Global information that is used by the resolver functions is kept in the _res data structure. The include/resolv.h file contains the _res data structure definition. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the _getlong() function returns an unsigned int (32-bit) value. FILES
Defines name server and domain names. RELATED INFORMATION

NAME
putlong - Places long byte quantities into the byte stream LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/nameser.h> #include <resolv.h> void putlong ( unsigned int long_arg, u_char *message_ptr ); PARAMETERS
Represents a 32-bit integer. Represents a pointer into the byte stream. DESCRIPTION
The putlong() function places long byte quantities into the byte stream or arbitrary byte boundaries. The putlong() function is one of a set of subroutines that form the resolver, a set of functions that resolve domain names. Global infor- mation that is used by the resolver functions is kept in the _res data structure. The /include/resolv.h file contains the _res data structure definition. FILES
Lists the name server and domain name. RELATED INFORMATION
