    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
      lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and
      response messages.
    </para>
    <para>
      There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
      One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure &mdash;
      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> &mdash;
      to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
      It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
      canonical format to a getaddrbyname request structure.
      Another render function converts the getaddrbyname response structure
      &mdash; <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> &mdash;
      to the canonical format.
      This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
      canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.
    </para>
    <para>
      These structures are defined in
      <filename>&lt;lwres/lwres.h&gt;</filename>.
      They are shown below.

    <para><function>lwres_gabnrequest_render()</function>
      uses resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert
      getaddrbyname request structure <parameter>req</parameter> to
      canonical format.  The packet header structure
      <parameter>pkt</parameter> is initialised and transferred to
      buffer <parameter>b</parameter>.

      The contents of <parameter>*req</parameter> are then appended to
      the buffer in canonical format.
      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_render()</function> performs the
      same task, except it converts a getaddrbyname response structure
      <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> to the lightweight resolver's
      canonical format.
    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
      uses context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert the contents
      of packet <parameter>pkt</parameter> to a
      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> structure.  Buffer
      <parameter>b</parameter> provides space to be used for storing
      this structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting
      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> is made available through
      <parameter>*structp</parameter>.

      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function> offers the same
      semantics as <function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
      except it yields a <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> structure.
    </para>

    <para><function>lwres_gabnresponse_free()</function>
      and <function>lwres_gabnrequest_free()</function> release the
      memory in resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> that was
      allocated to the <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> or
      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> structures referenced via
      <parameter>structp</parameter>.

      Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for
      those structures is also discarded.

    <title>RETURN VALUES</title>
    <para>
      The getaddrbyname opcode functions
      <function>lwres_gabnrequest_render()</function>,
      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_render()</function>
      <function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
      and
      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function>
      all return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
      on success.
      They return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</errorcode>
      if memory allocation fails.
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
      is returned if the available space in the buffer
      <parameter>b</parameter>
      is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
      <type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type>
      and
      <type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type>
      structures.
      <function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
      and
      <function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function>
      will return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
      if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
      These functions will return
      <errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>
      if
      <structfield>pktflags</structfield>
      in the packet header structure
      <type>lwres_lwpacket_t</type>
      indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
