 50.SH "DESCRIPTION"
 51.PP
 52These are low\-level routines for creating and parsing lightweight resolver address\-to\-name lookup request and response messages.
 53.PP
 54There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode. One render function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure \(em
 55\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
 56\(em to the lightweight resolver's canonical format. It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this canonical format to a getnamebyaddr request structure. Another render function converts the getnamebyaddr response structure \(em
 57\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
 58to the canonical format. This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in canonical format to a getnamebyaddr response structure.
 59.PP
 60These structures are defined in
 61\fIlwres/lwres.h\fR. They are shown below.

 99to convert getnamebyaddr request structure
100\fIreq\fR
101to canonical format. The packet header structure
102\fIpkt\fR
103is initialised and transferred to buffer
104\fIb\fR. The contents of
105\fI*req\fR
106are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
107\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_render()\fR
108performs the same task, except it converts a getnamebyaddr response structure
109\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR
110to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.

120\fIb\fR
121provides space to be used for storing this structure. When the function succeeds, the resulting
122\fBlwres_gnbarequest_t\fR
123is made available through
124\fI*structp\fR.
125\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_parse()\fR
126offers the same semantics as

130structure.
