.TH ARES_EXPAND_NAME 3 "23 July 1998"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ares_expand_string \- Expand a length encoded string
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <ares.h>
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B int ares_expand_string(const unsigned char *\fIencoded\fP,
|
|
.B const unsigned char *\fIabuf\fP, int \fIalen\fP, unsigned char **\fIs\fP,
|
|
.B int *\fIenclen\fP)

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_expand_string
|
|
function converts a length encoded string to a NULL terminated C
|
|
string. The argument
|
|
.I encoded
|
|
gives the beginning of the encoded string, and the arguments
|
|
.I abuf
|
|
and
|
|
.I alen
|
|
give the containing message buffer (necessary for the processing of
|
|
indirection pointers within the encoded domain name). The result is
|
|
placed in a NUL-terminated allocated buffer, a pointer to which is
|
|
stored in the variable pointed to by
|
|
.IR s .
|
|
The length of the encoded string is stored in the variable pointed to by
|
|
.I enclen
|
|
so that the caller can advance past the encoded string to read
|
|
further data in the message.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
.B ares_expand_string
|
|
can return any of the following values:
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS
|
|
Expansion of the encoded string succeeded.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B ARES_EBADSTR
|
|
The encoded string was malformed and could not be expanded.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM
|
|
Memory was exhausted.
