There is currently only one format, +\fBLWRES_LWPACKETVERSION_0\fR. +This field is filled in by the lwres_gabn_*() and lwres_gnba_*() +calls. +.TP +\fBpktflags\fR +library-defined flags for this packet: for instance whether the packet +is a request or a reply. Flag values can be set, but not defined by +the caller. +This field is filled in by the application wit the exception of the +LWRES_LWPACKETFLAG_RESPONSE bit, which is set by the library in the +lwres_gabn_*() and lwres_gnba_*() calls. +.TP +\fBserial\fR +is set by the requestor and is returned in all replies. If two or more +packets from the same source have the same serial number and are from +the same source, they are assumed to be duplicates and the latter ones +may be dropped. +This field must be set by the application. +.TP +\fBopcode\fR +indicates the operation. +Opcodes between 0x00000000 and 0x03ffffff are +reserved for use by the lightweight resolver library. Opcodes between +0x04000000 and 0xffffffff are application defined. +This field is filled in by the lwres_gabn_*() and lwres_gnba_*() +calls. +.TP +\fBresult\fR +is only valid for replies. +Results between 0x04000000 and 0xffffffff are application defined. +Results between 0x00000000 and 0x03ffffff are reserved for library use. +This field is filled in by the lwres_gabn_*() and lwres_gnba_*() +calls. +.TP +\fBrecvlength\fR +is the maximum buffer size that the receiver can handle on requests +and the size of the buffer needed to satisfy a request when the buffer +is too large for replies. +This field is supplied by the application. +.TP +\fBauthtype\fR +defines the packet level authentication that is used. +Authorisation types between 0x1000 and 0xffff are application defined +and types between 0x0000 and 0x0fff are reserved for library use. +Currently these are not used and must be zero. +.TP +\fBauthlen\fR +gives the length of the authentication data. +Since packet authentication is currently not used, this must be zero. +.PP +The following opcodes are currently defined: +.TP +\fBNOOP\fR +Success is always returned and the packet contents are echoed. +The lwres_noop_*() functions should be used for this type. +.TP +\fBGETADDRSBYNAME\fR +returns all known addresses for a given name. +The lwres_gabn_*() functions should be used for this type. +.TP +\fBGETNAMEBYADDR\fR +return the hostname for the given address. +The lwres_gnba_*() functions should be used for this type. +.PP +\fBlwres_lwpacket_renderheader()\fR transfers the +contents of lightweight resolver packet structure +\fBlwres_lwpacket_t\fR \fI*pkt\fR in network +byte order to the lightweight resolver buffer, +\fI*b\fR. +.PP +\fBlwres_lwpacket_parseheader()\fR performs the +converse operation.
