<p><code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>
gets a set of resource records associated with a
<em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>,
and <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.
<em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> is a pointer a to
null-terminated string. The <em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em> field
is currently unused and must be zero.
</p>
<p>
After a successful call to
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>,
<em class="parameter"><code>*res</code></em> is a pointer to an
<span class="type">rrsetinfo</span> structure, containing a list of one or
more <span class="type">rdatainfo</span> structures containing resource
records and potentially another list of <span class="type">rdatainfo</span>
structures containing SIG resource records associated with those
records. The members <code class="constant">rri_rdclass</code> and
<code class="constant">rri_rdtype</code> are copied from the parameters.
<code class="constant">rri_ttl</code> and <code class="constant">rri_name</code>
are properties of the obtained rrset. The resource records
contained in <code class="constant">rri_rdatas</code> and
<code class="constant">rri_sigs</code> are in uncompressed DNS wire
format. Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
<code class="constant">rri_flags</code> bitfield. If the RRSET_VALIDATED
bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC validated and the
signatures verified.
</p>
<p>
All of the information returned by
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code> is dynamically
allocated: the <code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code> and
<code class="constant">rdatainfo</code> structures, and the canonical
host name strings pointed to by the
<code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code>structure.
Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures
created by a successful call to
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code> is released by
<code class="function">lwres_freerrset()</code>.
<em class="parameter"><code>rrset</code></em> is a pointer to a <span class="type">struct
rrset</span> created by a call to
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>.
