       The  dn_skipname()  function  is  one of a set of subroutines that form the resolver, a set of functions that resolve 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  struc-
       ture definition.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion,  the  dn_skipname()  function  returns the size of the compressed domain name.  If the dn_skipname() function
       fails, -1 is returned.

FILES

       Defines name server and domain name structures, values, and constants.
