NAME
       ares_parse_soa_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type SOA

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ares.h>

       int ares_parse_soa_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
		      struct ares_soa_reply** soa_out);

DESCRIPTION
       The  ares_parse_soa_reply  function  parses the response to a query of type SOA into a struct ares_soa_reply.  The parameters abuf and alen
       give the contents of the response.  The result is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the  variable  pointed  to	by
       soa_out.   It  is  the  caller's  responsibility  to  free  the	resulting soa_out structure when it is no longer needed using the function
       ares_free_data

       The structure ares_soa_reply contains the following fields:

	   struct ares_soa_reply {
		char *nsname;
		char *hostmaster;
		unsigned int serial;
		unsigned int refresh;
		unsigned int retry;
		unsigned int expire;
		unsigned int minttl;
	   };

       ares_parse_soa_reply can return any of the following values:

       ARES_SUCCESS   The response was successfully parsed.

       ARES_EBADRESP  The response was malformatted.

       ARES_ENODATA   The response did not contain an answer to the query.

       ARES_ENOMEM    Memory was exhausted.
