+\fR.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
+lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and
+response messages.
+.PP
+There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
+One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure \(em
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_t\fR \(em
+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 \(em
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_t\fR \(em
+to the canonical format.
+This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
+canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.
+.PP
+These structures are defined in
+\fI<lwres/lwres.h>\fR.
+They are shown below.
+.sp
+.nf
+#define LWRES_OPCODE_GETADDRSBYNAME 0x00010001U

+typedef struct lwres_addr lwres_addr_t;
+typedef LWRES_LIST(lwres_addr_t) lwres_addrlist_t;

+.PP
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_render()\fR
+uses resolver context
+\fIctx\fR
+to convert getaddrbyname request structure
+\fIreq\fR
+to canonical format.
+The packet header structure
+\fIpkt\fR
+is initialised and transferred to
+buffer
+\fIb\fR.
+The contents of
+\fI*req\fR
+are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_render()\fR
+performs the same task, except it converts a getaddrbyname response structure
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_t\fR
+to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_parse()\fR
+uses context
+\fIctx\fR
+to convert the contents of packet
+\fIpkt\fR
+to a
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_t\fR
+structure.
+Buffer
+\fIb\fR
+provides space to be used for storing this structure.
+When the function succeeds, the resulting
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_t\fR
+is made available through
+\fI*structp\fR.
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_parse()\fR
+offers the same semantics as
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_parse()\fR
+except it yields a
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_t\fR
+structure.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_free()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_free()\fR
+release the memory in resolver context
+\fIctx\fR
+that was allocated to the
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_t\fR
+or
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_t\fR
+structures referenced via
+\fIstructp\fR.
+Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those
+structures is also discarded.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+The getaddrbyname opcode functions
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_render()\fR,
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_render()\fR
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_parse()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_parse()\fR
+all return
+LWRES_R_SUCCESS
+on success.
+They return
+LWRES_R_NOMEMORY
+if memory allocation fails.
+LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND
+is returned if the available space in the buffer
+\fIb\fR
+is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_t\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_t\fR
+structures.
+\fBlwres_gabnrequest_parse()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_gabnresponse_parse()\fR
+will return
+LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND
+if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
+These functions will return
+LWRES_R_FAILURE
+if
+\fBpktflags\fR
+in the packet header structure
+\fBlwres_lwpacket_t\fR
+indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
