Possible errors include: * adns_s_nomemory * adns_s_rrtypeunknown * adns_s_invaliddata (*datap contained garbage) * If an error occurs then no memory has been allocated, * and *rrtname_r, *fmtname_r, *len_r and *data_r are undefined. * * There are some adns-invented data formats which are not official * master file formats. These include: * * Mailboxes if __qtf_mail822: these are just included as-is. * * Addresses (adns_rr_addr): these may be of pretty much any type. * The representation is in two parts: first, a word for the address * family (ie, in AF_XXX, the XXX), and then one or more items for the * address itself, depending on the format. For an IPv4 address the * syntax is INET followed by the dotted quad (from inet_ntoa). * Currently only IPv4 is supported. * * Text strings (as in adns_rr_txt) appear inside double quotes, and * use \" and \\ to represent " and \, and \xHH to represent * characters not in the range 32-126. * * Hostname with addresses (adns_rr_hostaddr): this consists of the * hostname, as usual, followed by the adns_status value, as an * abbreviation, and then a descriptive string (encoded as if it were * a piece of text), for the address lookup, followed by zero or more * addresses enclosed in ( and ). If the result was a permanent * failure, then a single ? appears instead of the ( ). If the * result was a temporary failure then an empty pair of parentheses * appears (which a space in between). For example, one of the NS * records for greenend.org.uk comes out like * ns.chiark.greenend.org.uk ok "OK" ( INET 195.224.76.132 ) * an MX referring to a nonexistent host might come out like: * 50 sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk nxdomain "No such domain" ( ) * and if nameserver information is not available you might get: * dns2.spong.dyn.ml.org timeout "DNS query timed out" ? */ const char *adns_strerror(adns_status st); const char *adns_errabbrev(adns_status st); const char *adns_errtypeabbrev(adns_status st); /* Like strerror but for adns_status values. adns_errabbrev returns * the abbreviation of the error - eg, for adns_s_timeout it returns * "timeout". adns_errtypeabbrev returns the abbreviation of the * error class: ie, for values up to adns_s_max_XXX it will return the * string XXX. You MUST NOT call these functions with status values * not returned by the same adns library. */ #ifdef __cplusplus } /* end of extern "C" */ #endif #endif
