dn_expand(3) Library Functions Manual dn_expand(3)NAMEdn_expand - Expands a compressed domain nameLIBRARYStandard C Library (libc.a, libc.so)SYNOPSIS#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/nameser.h> #include <resolv.h> int dn_expand ( const u_char *message_ptr, const u_char *end_of_message, const u_char *compressed_name, char *expanded_name, int length );PARAMETERSSpecifies a pointer to the beginning of a message. Points to the end of the original message that contains the compressed domain name. Specifies a pointer to a compressed domain name. Specifies a pointer to a buffer that holds the resulting expanded domain name. Specifies the size of the buffer pointed to by the expanded_name parameter.DESCRIPTIONThe dn_expand() function expands a compressed domain name to a full domain name, converting the expanded names to uppercase. The dn_expand() 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 structure definition.RETURN VALUESUpon successful completion, the dn_expand() function returns the size of the compressed domain name. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned.ERRORSIf an error occurs during a resolver operation, the h_errno external variable is set. Error code values and reasons are defined in <netdb.h>.FILESDefines name server and domain name constants, structures, and values.RELATED INFORMATIONFunctions: dn_comp(3), dn_find(3), dn_skipname(3), putshort(3), putlong(3), res_init(3), res_mkquery(3), res_query(3), res_search(3), res_send(3), _getshort(3), _getlong(3). delim off dn_expand(3)
