The
ares_parse_srv_reply
function parses the response to a query of type SRV into a
linked list of
struct ares_srv_reply

srv_out
structure when it is no longer needed using the function
ares_free_data
The structure
ares_srv_reply
contains the following fields:
struct ares_srv_reply {
struct ares_srv_reply *next;
unsigned short weight;
unsigned short priority;
unsigned short port;
char *host;
};
