Function Documentation

dns_msg_compose_query()

size_t dns_msg_compose_query	(	void *	dns_buf,
		const char *	domain_name,
		uint16_t	id,
		int	family )

Composes a DNS query message.

The query will request an A or AAAA IN record for domain_name depending on family:

• When family is AF_INET or AF_UNSPEC a query for an A record will be added
• When family is AF_INET6 or AF_UNSPEC a query for an AAAA record will be added

Parameters

[out]	dns_buf	A buffer of length CONFIG_DNS_MSG_LEN
[in]	domain_name	The domain name to query.
[in]	id	The ID for the query.
[in]	family	Either AF_UNSPEC, AF_INET, or AF_INET6. Determines the address records for domain_name queried.

Returns

Size of the composed query in bytes.

dns_msg_parse_reply()

int dns_msg_parse_reply	(	const uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		int	family,
		void *	addr_out,
		uint32_t *	ttl )

Parses a DNS response message.

Parameters

[in]	buf	The message to parse.
[in]	len	Length of buf.
[in]	family	The address family used to compose the query for this response (see dns_msg_compose_query())
[out]	addr_out	The IP address returned by the response.
[out]	ttl	The live time of the entry in seconds

Returns

Length of the addr_out on success.

-EBADMSG, when an address corresponding to family can not be found in buf.
