ares_parse_uri_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type URI

#include <ares.h>

int ares_parse_uri_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,
 struct ares_uri_reply** uri_out);

The ares_parse_uri_reply(3) function parses the response to a query of type URI into a linked list of struct ares_uri_reply The parameters abuf and alen give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by uri_out . It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting uri_out structure when it is no longer needed using the function ares_free_data(3). The structure ares_uri_reply contains the following fields:

struct ares_uri_reply {
 struct ares_uri_reply *next;
 unsigned short weight;
 unsigned short priority;
 char *uri;
 int ttl;
};

ares_parse_uri_reply can return any of the following values:

15 ARES_SUCCESS The response was successfully parsed.

15 ARES_EBADRESP The response was malformatted.

15 ARES_ENODATA The response did not contain an answer to the query.

15 ARES_ENOMEM Memory was exhausted.
