NAME

       ares_parse_aaaa_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type AAAA

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ares.h>

       int ares_parse_aaaa_reply(const unsigned char *abuf, int alen,
            struct hostent **host,
       struct ares_addr6ttl *addrttls, int *naddrttls);

DESCRIPTION

       The  ares_parse_aaaa_reply  function  parses  the  response to a query of type AAAA into a struct hostent
       and/or an array of struct ares_addr6ttl.  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 host,
       if host is nonnull.  It is the caller's  responsibility  to  free  the  resulting  host  structure  using
       ares_free_hostent(3) when it is no longer needed.

       If addrttls and naddrttls are both nonnull, then up to *naddrttls struct ares_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.

RETURN VALUES

       ares_parse_aaaa_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.
