 182 <p>
 183       These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
 184       lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and
 185       response messages.
 186     </p>
 187 <p>
 188       There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
 189       One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure &#8212;
 190       <span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span> &#8212;
 191       to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
 192       It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
 193       canonical format to a getaddrbyname request structure.
 194       Another render function converts the getaddrbyname response structure
 195       &#8212; <span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span> &#8212;
 196       to the canonical format.
 197       This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
 198       canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.
 199     </p>
 200 <p>
 201       These structures are defined in
 202       <code class="filename">&lt;lwres/lwres.h&gt;</code>.
 203       They are shown below.

 242 <p><code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_render()</code>
 243       uses resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert
 244       getaddrbyname request structure <em class="parameter"><code>req</code></em> to
 245       canonical format.  The packet header structure
 246       <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em> is initialised and transferred to
 247       buffer <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>.
 248
 249       The contents of <em class="parameter"><code>*req</code></em> are then appended to
 250       the buffer in canonical format.
 251       <code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_render()</code> performs the
 252       same task, except it converts a getaddrbyname response structure
 253       <span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span> to the lightweight resolver's
 254       canonical format.
 255     </p>
 256 <p><code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</code>
 257       uses context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert the contents
 258       of packet <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em> to a
 259       <span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span> structure.  Buffer
 260       <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em> provides space to be used for storing
 261       this structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting
 262       <span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span> is made available through
 263       <em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.
 264
 265       <code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</code> offers the same
 266       semantics as <code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</code>
 267       except it yields a <span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span> structure.
 268     </p>
 269 <p><code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_free()</code>
 270       and <code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_free()</code> release the
 271       memory in resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> that was
 272       allocated to the <span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span> or
 273       <span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span> structures referenced via
 274       <em class="parameter"><code>structp</code></em>.
 275
 276       Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for
 277       those structures is also discarded.
