The
ares_parse_ns_reply
function parses the response to a query of type NS into a
struct hostent.
The parameters
abuf
and
alen
give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated
memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by
host.
The nameservers are stored into the
aliases
field of the
host
structure.
It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure
using
ares_free_hostent(3)
when it is no longer needed.

ares_parse_ns_reply
can return any of the following values:
ARES_SUCCESS
The response was successfully parsed.
ARES_EBADRESP
The response was malformatted.
ARES_ENODATA
The response did not contain an answer to the query.
