.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
The \fIares_create_query(3)\fP function composes a DNS query with a single
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
question. The parameter \fIname\fP gives the query name as a NUL-terminated C
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
string of period-separated labels optionally ending with a period; periods and
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
backslashes within a label must be escaped with a backlash.
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
The parameters \fIdnsclass\fP and \fItype\fP give the class and type of the
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
query using the values defined in \fB<arpa/nameser.h>\fP.
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
The parameter \fIid\fP gives a 16-bit identifier for the query.
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
The parameter \fIrd\fP should be nonzero if recursion is desired, zero if not.
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
The query will be placed in an allocated buffer, a pointer to which will be
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
stored in the variable pointed to by \fIbuf\fP, and the length of which will
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
be stored in the variable pointed to by \fIbuflen\fP.
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
It is the caller's responsibility to free this buffer using
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
\fIares_free_string(3)\fP when it is no longer needed. The parameter
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
\fImax_udp_size\fP should be nonzero to activate EDNS. Usage of
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
\fIares_create_query(3)\fP\ with \fImax_udp_size\fP set to zero is equivalent
|
|
Packit |
514978 |
to using \fIares_mkquery(3)\fP.
