NAMEares_parse_txt_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type TXTSYNOPSIS#include <ares.h> int ares_parse_txt_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen, struct ares_txt_reply **txt_out); int ares_parse_txt_reply_ext(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen, struct ares_txt_ext **txt_out); DESCRIPTIONThe ares_parse_txt_reply (ares_parse_txt_reply_ext) function parses the response to a query of type TXT into a linked list (one element per sub-string) of struct ares_txt_reply (struct ares_txt_ext) The parameters abuf and alen give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by txt_out. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting txt_out structure when it is no longer needed using the function ares_free_dataThe structure ares_txt_reply contains the following fields:
struct ares_txt_reply { struct ares_txt_reply *next; unsigned int length; unsigned char *txt; }; The structure ares_txt_ext contains the following fields:
struct ares_txt_ext { struct ares_txt_ext *next; unsigned int length; unsigned char *txt; unsigned char record_start; }; The record_start field in struct ares_txt_ext is 1 if this structure is a start of a TXT record, and 0 if the structure is a continuation of a previous record. The linked list of the struct ares_txt_ext will have at least one item with record_start equal to 1, and may have some items with record_start equal to 0 between them. These sequences of struct ares_txt_ext (starting from the item with record_start equal to 1, and ending right before the record start item) may be treated as either components of a single TXT record or as a multi-parted TXT record, depending on particular use case. RETURN VALUESares_parse_txt_reply (ares_parse_txt_reply_ext) can return any of the following values:
