182 <a name="id2543520"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
183 <p>
184       These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
185       lightweight resolver no-op request and response messages.
186     </p>
187 <p>
188       The no-op message is analogous to a <span><strong class="command">ping</strong></span>
189       packet:
190       a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back.
191       The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is
192       operational or not.
193     </p>
194 <p>
195       There are four main functions for the no-op opcode.
196       One render function converts a no-op request structure &#8212;
197       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> &#8212;
198       to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
199       It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
200       canonical format to a no-op request structure.
201       Another render function converts the no-op response structure &#8212;
202       <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span>
203       to the canonical format.
204       This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
205       canonical format to a no-op response structure.
206     </p>
207 <p>
208       These structures are defined in
209       <code class="filename">lwres/lwres.h</code>.
210
211       They are shown below.
212     </p>
213 <pre class="programlisting">
214 #define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP       0x00000000U
215 </pre>
216 <p>
217     </p>
218 <pre class="programlisting">
219 typedef struct {
220         lwres_uint16_t  datalength;
221         unsigned char   *data;
222 } lwres_nooprequest_t;
223 </pre>
224 <p>
225     </p>
226 <pre class="programlisting">
227 typedef struct {
228         lwres_uint16_t  datalength;
229         unsigned char   *data;
230 } lwres_noopresponse_t;
231 </pre>
232 <p>
233     </p>
234 <p>
235       Although the structures have different types, they are identical.
236       This is because the no-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent:
237       the response is therefore identical to the request.
238     </p>
239 <p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_render()</code>
240       uses resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert
241       no-op request structure <em class="parameter"><code>req</code></em> to canonical
242       format.  The packet header structure <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em>
243       is initialised and transferred to buffer
244       <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>.  The contents of
245       <em class="parameter"><code>*req</code></em> are then appended to the buffer in
246       canonical format.
247       <code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_render()</code> performs the
248       same task, except it converts a no-op response structure
249       <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> to the lightweight resolver's
250       canonical format.
251     </p>
252 <p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
253       uses context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert the contents
254       of packet <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em> to a
255       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> structure.  Buffer
256       <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em> provides space to be used for storing
257       this structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting
258       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> is made available through
259       <em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.
260       <code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_parse()</code> offers the same
261       semantics as <code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
262       except it yields a <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> structure.
263     </p>
264 <p><code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_free()</code>
265       and <code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_free()</code> release the
266       memory in resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> that was
267       allocated to the <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> or
268       <span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> structures referenced via
269       <em class="parameter"><code>structp</code></em>.
