-\fR.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-\fBlwres_context_create()\fR
-creates a
-\fBlwres_context_t\fR
-structure for use in lightweight resolver operations.
-It holds a socket and other data needed for communicating
-with a resolver daemon.
-The new
-\fBlwres_context_t\fR
-is returned throught
-\fIcontextp\fR,
-a pointer to a
-\fBlwres_context_t\fR
-pointer. This
-\fBlwres_context_t\fR
-pointer must initially be NULL, and is modified
-to point to the newly created
-\fBlwres_context_t\fR.
-.PP
-When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory
-allocation, it will call
-\fImalloc_function\fR
-to allocate memory and
-\fIfree_function\fR
-to free it. If
-\fImalloc_function\fR
-and
-\fIfree_function\fR
-are NULL, memory is allocated using
-\&.Xr malloc 3
-and
-\fBfree\fR(3).
-It is not permitted to have a NULL
-\fImalloc_function\fR
-and a non-NULL
-\fIfree_function\fR
-or vice versa.
-\fIarg\fR
-is passed as the first parameter to the memory
-allocation functions.
-If
-\fImalloc_function\fR
-and
-\fIfree_function\fR
-are NULL,
-\fIarg\fR
-is unused and should be passed as NULL.
-.PP
-Once memory for the structure has been allocated,
-it is initialized using
-\fBlwres_conf_init\fR(3)
-and returned via
-\fI*contextp\fR.
-.PP
-\fBlwres_context_destroy()\fR
-destroys a
-\fBlwres_context_t\fR,
-closing its socket.
-\fIcontextp\fR
-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.
-.PP
-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
-\fBlwres_context_initserial()\fR
-and
-\fBlwres_context_nextserial()\fR.
-\fBlwres_context_initserial()\fR
-sets the serial number for context
-\fI*ctx\fR
-to
-\fIserial\fR.
-\fBlwres_context_nextserial()\fR
-increments the serial number and returns the previous value.
-.PP
-Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed using
-\fBlwres_context_allocmem()\fR
-and
-\fBlwres_context_freemem()\fR.
-These use whatever allocations were defined when the context was
-created with
-\fBlwres_context_create()\fR.
-\fBlwres_context_allocmem()\fR
-allocates
-\fIlen\fR
-bytes of memory and if successful returns a pointer to the allocated
-storage.
-\fBlwres_context_freemem()\fR
-frees
-\fIlen\fR
-bytes of space starting at location
-\fImem\fR.
-.PP
-\fBlwres_context_sendrecv()\fR
-performs I/O for the context
-\fIctx\fR.
-Data are read and written from the context's socket.
-It writes data from
-\fIsendbase\fR
-\(em typically a lightweight resolver query packet \(em
-and waits for a reply which is copied to the receive buffer at
-\fIrecvbase\fR.
-The number of bytes that were written to this receive buffer is
-returned in
-\fI*recvd_len\fR.
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-.PP
-\fBlwres_context_create()\fR
-returns
-LWRES_R_NOMEMORY
-if memory for the
-\fBstruct lwres_context\fR
-could not be allocated,
-LWRES_R_SUCCESS
-otherwise.
-.PP
-Successful calls to the memory allocator
-\fBlwres_context_allocmem()\fR
-return a pointer to the start of the allocated space.
-It returns NULL if memory could not be allocated.
-.PP
-LWRES_R_SUCCESS
-is returned when
-\fBlwres_context_sendrecv()\fR
-completes successfully.
-LWRES_R_IOERROR
-is returned if an I/O error occurs and
-LWRES_R_TIMEOUT
-is returned if
-\fBlwres_context_sendrecv()\fR
-times out waiting for a response.
