NAME¶

ares_parse_caa_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type CAA

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <ares.h>
int ares_parse_caa_reply(const unsigned char* abuf, int alen,


                         struct ares_caa_reply **caa_out);

DESCRIPTION¶

The ares_parse_caa_reply function parses the response to a query of type CAA into a linked list (one element per sub-string) of struct ares_caa_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 caa_out. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting caa_out structure when it is no longer needed using the function ares_free_data(3)

The structure ares_caa_reply(3) contains the following fields:

struct ares_caa_reply {


  struct ares_caa_reply *next;


  int                    critical;


  unsigned char         *property;


  size_t                 plength; /* plength excludes null */


  unsigned char         *value;


  size_t                 length;  /* length excludes null */
};

RETURN VALUES¶

ares_parse_caa_reply can return any of the following values:

ARES_SUCCESS

The response was successfully parsed.

ARES_EBADRESP

The response was malformatted.

ARES_ENODATA

The response did not contain an answer to the query.

ARES_ENOMEM

Memory was exhausted.
