<p><code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>
      gets a set of resource records associated with a
      <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>,
      and <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.
      <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> is a pointer a to
      null-terminated string.  The <em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em> field
      is currently unused and must be zero.
    </p>
<p>
      After a successful call to
      <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>,
      <em class="parameter"><code>*res</code></em> is a pointer to an
      <span class="type">rrsetinfo</span> structure, containing a list of one or
      more <span class="type">rdatainfo</span> structures containing resource
      records and potentially another list of <span class="type">rdatainfo</span>
      structures containing SIG resource records associated with those
      records.  The members <code class="constant">rri_rdclass</code> and
      <code class="constant">rri_rdtype</code> are copied from the parameters.
      <code class="constant">rri_ttl</code> and <code class="constant">rri_name</code>
      are properties of the obtained rrset.  The resource records
      contained in <code class="constant">rri_rdatas</code> and
      <code class="constant">rri_sigs</code> are in uncompressed DNS wire
      format.  Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
      <code class="constant">rri_flags</code> bitfield.  If the RRSET_VALIDATED
      bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC validated and the
      signatures verified.
    </p>
<p>
      All of the information returned by
      <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code> is dynamically
      allocated: the <code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code> and
      <code class="constant">rdatainfo</code> structures, and the canonical
      host name strings pointed to by the
      <code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code>structure.

      Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures
      created by a successful call to
      <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code> is released by
      <code class="function">lwres_freerrset()</code>.

      <em class="parameter"><code>rrset</code></em> is a pointer to a <span class="type">struct
      rrset</span> created by a call to
      <code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>.
    </p>
