The argument +.I encoded +gives the beginning of the encoded domain name, and the arguments +.I abuf +and +.I alen +give the containing message buffer (necessary for the processing of +indirection pointers within the encoded domain name). The result is +placed in a NUL-terminated allocated buffer, a pointer to which is +stored in the variable pointed to by +.IR s . +The length of the encoded name is stored in the variable pointed to by +.I enclen +so that the caller can advance past the encoded domain name to read +further data in the message. +.SH RETURN VALUES +.B ares_expand_name +can return any of the following values: +.TP 15 +.B ARES_SUCCESS +Expansion of the encoded name succeeded. +.TP 15 +.B ARES_EBADNAME +The encoded domain name was malformed and could not be expanded. +.TP 15 +.B ARES_ENOMEM +Memory was exhausted. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ares_mkquery (3) +.SH AUTHOR +Greg Hudson, MIT Information Systems +.br +Copyright 1998 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. -- cgit v1.2.3
