The parameters .I abuf and .I 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 .IR host , if host is nonnull. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure using .BR ares_free_hostent (3) when it is no longer needed. .PP If .IR addrttls and .IR naddrttls are both nonnull, then up to *naddrttls .BR "struct addr6ttl" records are stored in the array pointed to by addrttls, and then *naddrttls is set to the number of records so stored. Note that the memory for these records is supplied by the caller. .SH RETURN VALUES .B ares_parse_aaaa_reply can return any of the following values: .TP 15 .B ARES_SUCCESS The response was successfully parsed. .TP 15 .B ARES_EBADRESP The response was malformatted. .TP 15 .B ARES_ENODATA The response did not contain an answer to the query. .TP 15 .B ARES_ENOMEM Memory was exhausted. .SH SEE ALSO .BR ares_gethostbyname (3), .BR ares_free_hostent (3) .SH AUTHOR Dominick Meglio .br Copyright 2005 by Dominick Meglio.
