It holds a socket and other + data needed for communicating with a resolver daemon. The new + <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span> is returned through + <em class="parameter"><code>contextp</code></em>, a pointer to a + <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span> pointer. This + <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span> pointer must initially be NULL, and + is modified to point to the newly created + <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span>. + </p> +<p> + When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory + allocation, it will call + <em class="parameter"><code>malloc_function</code></em> + to allocate memory and + <em class="parameter"><code>free_function</code></em> + to free it. If + <em class="parameter"><code>malloc_function</code></em> + and + <em class="parameter"><code>free_function</code></em> + are NULL, memory is allocated using + <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">malloc</span>(3)</span>. + and + <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">free</span>(3)</span>. + + It is not permitted to have a NULL + <em class="parameter"><code>malloc_function</code></em> and a non-NULL + <em class="parameter"><code>free_function</code></em> or vice versa. + <em class="parameter"><code>arg</code></em> is passed as the first parameter to + the memory allocation functions. If + <em class="parameter"><code>malloc_function</code></em> and + <em class="parameter"><code>free_function</code></em> are NULL, + <em class="parameter"><code>arg</code></em> is unused and should be passed as + NULL. + </p> +<p> + Once memory for the structure has been allocated, + it is initialized using + <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lwres_conf_init</span>(3)</span> + and returned via <em class="parameter"><code>*contextp</code></em>. + </p> +<p><code class="function">lwres_context_destroy()</code> + destroys a <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span>, closing its socket. + <em class="parameter"><code>contextp</code></em> is a pointer to a pointer to the + context that is to be destroyed. The pointer will be set to + NULL when the context has been destroyed. + </p> +<p> + The context holds a serial number that is used to identify + resolver request packets and associate responses with the + corresponding requests. This serial number is controlled using + <code class="function">lwres_context_initserial()</code> and + <code class="function">lwres_context_nextserial()</code>. + <code class="function">lwres_context_initserial()</code> sets the serial + number for context <em class="parameter"><code>*ctx</code></em> to + <em class="parameter"><code>serial</code></em>. + <code class="function">lwres_context_nextserial()</code> increments the + serial number and returns the previous value. + </p> +<p> + Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed + using <code class="function">lwres_context_allocmem()</code> and + <code class="function">lwres_context_freemem()</code>. These use + whatever allocations were defined when the context was created + with <code class="function">lwres_context_create()</code>. + <code class="function">lwres_context_allocmem()</code> allocates + <em class="parameter"><code>len</code></em> bytes of memory and if successful + returns a pointer to the allocated storage. + <code class="function">lwres_context_freemem()</code> frees + <em class="parameter"><code>len</code></em> bytes of space starting at location + <em class="parameter"><code>mem</code></em>. + </p> +<p><code class="function">lwres_context_sendrecv()</code> + performs I/O for the context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em>.
