<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>
gets a set of resource records associated with a
<parameter>hostname</parameter>,

<parameter>class</parameter>,

and
<parameter>type</parameter>.

<parameter>hostname</parameter>
is
a pointer a to null-terminated string.  The
<parameter>flags</parameter>
field is currently unused and must be zero.
</para>
<para>
After a successful call to
<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>,

<parameter>*res</parameter>
is a pointer to an
<type>rrsetinfo</type>
structure, containing a list of one or more
<type>rdatainfo</type>
structures containing resource records and potentially another list of
<type>rdatainfo</type>
structures containing SIG resource records
associated with those records.
The members
<constant>rri_rdclass</constant>
and
<constant>rri_rdtype</constant>
are copied from the parameters.
<constant>rri_ttl</constant>
and
<constant>rri_name</constant>
are properties of the obtained rrset.
The resource records contained in
<constant>rri_rdatas</constant>
and
<constant>rri_sigs</constant>
are in uncompressed DNS wire format.
Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
<constant>rri_flags</constant>
bitfield.  If the RRSET_VALIDATED bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC
validated and the signatures verified.  
</para>
<para>
All of the information returned by
<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>
is dynamically allocated: the
<constant>rrsetinfo</constant>
and
<constant>rdatainfo</constant>
structures,
and the canonical host name strings pointed to by the
<constant>rrsetinfo</constant>structure.

Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures created by
a successful call to
<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>
is released by
<function>lwres_freerrset()</function>.

<parameter>rrset</parameter>
is a pointer to a
<type>struct rrset</type>
created by a call to
<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>.
