 106 <p><code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>
 107       gets a set of resource records associated with a
 108       <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>,
 109       and <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.
 110       <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> is a pointer a to
 111       null-terminated string.  The <em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em> field
 112       is currently unused and must be zero.
 113     </p>
 114 <p>
 115       After a successful call to
 116       <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>,
 117       <em class="parameter"><code>*res</code></em> is a pointer to an
 118       <span class="type">rrsetinfo</span> structure, containing a list of one or
 119       more <span class="type">rdatainfo</span> structures containing resource
 120       records and potentially another list of <span class="type">rdatainfo</span>
 121       structures containing SIG resource records associated with those
 122       records.  The members <code class="constant">rri_rdclass</code> and
 123       <code class="constant">rri_rdtype</code> are copied from the parameters.
 124       <code class="constant">rri_ttl</code> and <code class="constant">rri_name</code>
 125       are properties of the obtained rrset.  The resource records
 126       contained in <code class="constant">rri_rdatas</code> and
 127       <code class="constant">rri_sigs</code> are in uncompressed DNS wire
 128       format.  Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
 129       <code class="constant">rri_flags</code> bitfield.  If the RRSET_VALIDATED
 130       bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC validated and the
 131       signatures verified.
 132     </p>
 133 <p>
 134       All of the information returned by
 135       <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code> is dynamically
 136       allocated: the <code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code> and
 137       <code class="constant">rdatainfo</code> structures, and the canonical
 138       host name strings pointed to by the
 139       <code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code>structure.
 140
 141       Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures
 142       created by a successful call to
 143       <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code> is released by
 144       <code class="function">lwres_freerrset()</code>.
 145
 146       <em class="parameter"><code>rrset</code></em> is a pointer to a <span class="type">struct
 147       rrset</span> created by a call to
