-<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-<para>
-<function>lwres_context_create()</function>
-creates a
-<type>lwres_context_t</type>
-structure for use in lightweight resolver operations.
-It holds a socket and other data needed for communicating
-with a resolver daemon.
-The new
-<type>lwres_context_t</type>
-is returned throught
-<parameter>contextp</parameter>,
-
-a pointer to a
-<type>lwres_context_t</type>
-pointer. This
-<type>lwres_context_t</type>
-pointer must initially be NULL, and is modified
-to point to the newly created
-<type>lwres_context_t</type>.
-
-</para>
-<para>
-When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory
-allocation, it will call
-<parameter>malloc_function</parameter>
-to allocate memory and
-<parameter>free_function</parameter>
-
-to free it. If
-<parameter>malloc_function</parameter>
-and
-<parameter>free_function</parameter>
-
-are NULL, memory is allocated using
-.Xr malloc 3
-and
-<citerefentry>
-<refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
-</citerefentry>.
-
-It is not permitted to have a NULL
-<parameter>malloc_function</parameter>
-and a non-NULL
-<parameter>free_function</parameter>
-or vice versa.
-<parameter>arg</parameter>
-is passed as the first parameter to the memory
-allocation functions.
-If
-<parameter>malloc_function</parameter>
-and
-<parameter>free_function</parameter>
-are NULL,
-<parameter>arg</parameter>
-
-is unused and should be passed as NULL.
-</para>
-<para>
-Once memory for the structure has been allocated,
-it is initialized using
-<citerefentry>
-<refentrytitle>lwres_conf_init</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
-</citerefentry>
-
-and returned via
-<parameter>*contextp</parameter>.
-
-</para>
-<para>
-<function>lwres_context_destroy()</function>
-destroys a
-<type>lwres_context_t</type>,
-
-closing its socket.
-<parameter>contextp</parameter>
-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.
-</para>
-<para>
-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
-<function>lwres_context_initserial()</function>
-and
-<function>lwres_context_nextserial()</function>.
-<function>lwres_context_initserial()</function>
-sets the serial number for context
-<parameter>*ctx</parameter>
-to
-<parameter>serial</parameter>.
-
-<function>lwres_context_nextserial()</function>
-increments the serial number and returns the previous value.
-</para>
-<para>
-Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed using
-<function>lwres_context_allocmem()</function>
-and
-<function>lwres_context_freemem()</function>.
-These use whatever allocations were defined when the context was
-created with
-<function>lwres_context_create()</function>.
-<function>lwres_context_allocmem()</function>
-allocates
-<parameter>len</parameter>
-bytes of memory and if successful returns a pointer to the allocated
-storage.
-<function>lwres_context_freemem()</function>
-frees
-<parameter>len</parameter>
-bytes of space starting at location
-<parameter>mem</parameter>.
-
-</para>
-<para>
-<function>lwres_context_sendrecv()</function>
-performs I/O for the context
-<parameter>ctx</parameter>.
-
-Data are read and written from the context's socket.
-It writes data from
-<parameter>sendbase</parameter>
-&mdash; typically a lightweight resolver query packet &mdash;
-and waits for a reply which is copied to the receive buffer at
-<parameter>recvbase</parameter>.
-
-The number of bytes that were written to this receive buffer is
-returned in
-<parameter>*recvd_len</parameter>.

-<title>RETURN VALUES</title>
-<para>
-<function>lwres_context_create()</function>
-returns

-could not be allocated,
-<errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
-otherwise.
-</para>
-<para>
-Successful calls to the memory allocator
-<function>lwres_context_allocmem()</function>
-return a pointer to the start of the allocated space.
-It returns NULL if memory could not be allocated.
-</para>
-<para>
-<errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
-is returned when
-<function>lwres_context_sendrecv()</function>
-completes successfully.
-<errorcode>LWRES_R_IOERROR</errorcode>
-is returned if an I/O error occurs and
-<errorcode>LWRES_R_TIMEOUT</errorcode>
-is returned if
-<function>lwres_context_sendrecv()</function>
-times out waiting for a response.
