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