 183 <p>
 184       These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
 185       lightweight resolver no-op request and response messages.
 186     </p>
 187 <p>
 188       The no-op message is analogous to a <span><strong class="command">ping</strong></span>
 189       packet:
 190       a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back.
 191       The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is
 192       operational or not.
 193     </p>
 194 <p>
 195       There are four main functions for the no-op opcode.
 196       One render function converts a no-op request structure &#8212;
 197       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> &#8212;
 198       to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
 199       It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
 200       canonical format to a no-op request structure.
 201       Another render function converts the no-op response structure &#8212;
 202       <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span>
 203       to the canonical format.
 204       This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
 205       canonical format to a no-op response structure.
 206     </p>
 207 <p>
 208       These structures are defined in
 209       <code class="filename">lwres/lwres.h</code>.
 210
 211       They are shown below.
 212     </p>
 213 <pre class="programlisting">
 214 #define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP       0x00000000U
 215 </pre>
 216 <p>
 217     </p>
 218 <pre class="programlisting">
 219 typedef struct {
 220         lwres_uint16_t  datalength;
 221         unsigned char   *data;
 222 } lwres_nooprequest_t;
 223 </pre>
 224 <p>
 225     </p>
 226 <pre class="programlisting">
 227 typedef struct {
 228         lwres_uint16_t  datalength;
 229         unsigned char   *data;
 230 } lwres_noopresponse_t;
 231 </pre>
 232 <p>
 233     </p>
 234 <p>
 235       Although the structures have different types, they are identical.
 236       This is because the no-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent:
 237       the response is therefore identical to the request.
 238     </p>
 239 <p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_render()</code>
 240       uses resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert
 241       no-op request structure <em class="parameter"><code>req</code></em> to canonical
 242       format.  The packet header structure <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em>
 243       is initialised and transferred to buffer
 244       <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>.  The contents of
 245       <em class="parameter"><code>*req</code></em> are then appended to the buffer in
 246       canonical format.
 247       <code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_render()</code> performs the
 248       same task, except it converts a no-op response structure
 249       <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> to the lightweight resolver's
 250       canonical format.
 251     </p>
 252 <p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
 253       uses context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert the contents
 254       of packet <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em> to a
 255       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> structure.  Buffer
 256       <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em> provides space to be used for storing
 257       this structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting
 258       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> is made available through
 259       <em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.
 260       <code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_parse()</code> offers the same
 261       semantics as <code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
 262       except it yields a <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> structure.
 263     </p>
 264 <p><code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_free()</code>
 265       and <code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_free()</code> release the
 266       memory in resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> that was
 267       allocated to the <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> or
 268       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> structures referenced via
 269       <em class="parameter"><code>structp</code></em>.

 282       all return
 283       <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_SUCCESS</span>
 284       on success.
 285       They return
 286       <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</span>
 287       if memory allocation fails.
 288       <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
 289       is returned if the available space in the buffer
 290       <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>
 291       is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
 292       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span>
 293       and
 294       <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span>
 295       structures.

 297       and
 298       <code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_parse()</code>
 299       will return
 300       <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
 301       if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
 302       These functions will return

 304       if
 305       <code class="constant">pktflags</code>
 306       in the packet header structure
 307       <span class="type">lwres_lwpacket_t</span>
