ARES_MKQUERY(3) Library Functions Manual ARES_MKQUERY(3)
NAME
ares_mkquery - Compose a single-question DNS query buffer
SYNOPSIS
#include <ares.h>
int ares_mkquery(const char *name, int dnsclass, int type,
unsigned short id, int rd, unsigned char **buf,
int *buflen)
DESCRIPTION
The ares_mkquery function composes a DNS query with a single question. The parameter name gives the query name as a NUL-terminated C
string of period-separated labels optionally ending with a period; periods and backslashes within a label must be escaped with a backlash.
The parameters dnsclass and type give the class and type of the query using the values defined in <arpa/nameser.h>. The parameter id gives
a 16-bit identifier for the query. The parameter rd should be nonzero if recursion is desired, zero if not. The query will be placed in
an allocated buffer, a pointer to which will be stored in the variable pointed to by buf, and the length of which will be stored in the
variable pointed to by buflen. It is the caller's responsibility to free this buffer using ares_free_string(3) when it is no longer
needed.
RETURN VALUES
ares_mkquery can return any of the following values:
ARES_SUCCESS Construction of the DNS query succeeded.
ARES_EBADNAME The query name name could not be encoded as a domain name, either because it contained a zero-length label or because it
contained a label of more than 63 characters.
ARES_ENOMEM Memory was exhausted.
