    <para>

      These are low-level routines for creating and parsing

      lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and

      response messages.

    </para>

    <para>

      There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.

      One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure —

      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> —

      to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.

      It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this

      canonical format to a getaddrbyname request structure.

      Another render function converts the getaddrbyname response structure

      — <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> —

      to the canonical format.

      This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in

      canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.

    </para>

    <para>

      These structures are defined in

      <filename><lwres/lwres.h></filename>.

      They are shown below.

    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gabnrequest_render()</function>

      uses resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert

      getaddrbyname request structure <parameter>req</parameter> to

      canonical format.  The packet header structure

      <parameter>pkt</parameter> is initialised and transferred to

      buffer <parameter>b</parameter>.

      The contents of <parameter>*req</parameter> are then appended to

      the buffer in canonical format.

      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_render()</function> performs the

      same task, except it converts a getaddrbyname response structure

      <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> to the lightweight resolver's

      canonical format.

    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>

      uses context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert the contents

      of packet <parameter>pkt</parameter> to a

      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> structure.  Buffer

      <parameter>b</parameter> provides space to be used for storing

      this structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting

      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> is made available through

      <parameter>*structp</parameter>.

      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function> offers the same

      semantics as <function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>

      except it yields a <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> structure.

    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gabnresponse_free()</function>

      and <function>lwres_gabnrequest_free()</function> release the

      memory in resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> that was

      allocated to the <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> or

      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> structures referenced via

      <parameter>structp</parameter>.

      Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for

      those structures is also discarded.

      The getaddrbyname opcode functions

      <function>lwres_gabnrequest_render()</function>,

      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_render()</function>

      <function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>

      all return

      <errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>

      on success.

      They return

      <errorcode>LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</errorcode>

      if memory allocation fails.

      <errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>

      is returned if the available space in the buffer

      <parameter>b</parameter>

      is too small to accommodate the packet header or the

      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type>

      and

      <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type>

      structures.

      <function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>

      and

      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function>

      will return

      <errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>

      if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.

      These functions will return

      <errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>

      if

      <varname remap="structfield">pktflags</varname>

      in the packet header structure

      <type>lwres_lwpacket_t</type>

      indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
