+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used for making, sending and interpreting
+query and reply messages with Internet domain name servers.
+.Pp
+Global configuration and state information that is used by the
+resolver routines is kept in the structure
+.Em _res .
+Most of the values have reasonable defaults and can be ignored.
+Options
+stored in
+.Em _res.options
+are defined in
+.Pa resolv.h
+and are as follows.
+Options are stored as a simple bit mask containing the bitwise ``or''
+of the options enabled.
+.Bl -tag -width RES_USE_INET6
+.It Dv RES_INIT
+True if the initial name server address and default domain name are
+initialized (i.e.,
+.Fn res_init
+has been called).
+.It Dv RES_DEBUG
+Print debugging messages.
+.It Dv RES_AAONLY
+Accept authoritative answers only.
+With this option,
+.Fn res_send
+should continue until it finds an authoritative answer or finds an error.
+Currently this is not implemented.
+.It Dv RES_USEVC
+Use
+.Tn TCP
+connections for queries instead of
+.Tn UDP
+datagrams.
+.It Dv RES_STAYOPEN
+Used with
+.Dv RES_USEVC
+to keep the
+.Tn TCP
+connection open between
+queries.
+This is useful only in programs that regularly do many queries.
+.Tn UDP
+should be the normal mode used.
+.It Dv RES_IGNTC
+Unused currently (ignore truncation errors, i.e., don't retry with
+.Tn TCP ) .
+.It Dv RES_RECURSE
+Set the recursion-desired bit in queries.
+This is the default.
+.Pf ( Fn res_send
+does not do iterative queries and expects the name server
+to handle recursion.)
+.It Dv RES_DEFNAMES
+If set,
+.Fn res_search
+will append the default domain name to single-component names
+(those that do not contain a dot).
+This option is enabled by default.
+.It Dv RES_DNSRCH
+If this option is set,
+.Fn res_search
+will search for host names in the current domain and in parent domains; see
+.Xr hostname 7 .
+This is used by the standard host lookup routine
+.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
+This option is enabled by default.
+.It Dv RES_USE_INET6
+Enable support for IPv6 addresses.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn res_init
+routine
+reads the configuration file (if any; see
+.Xr resolv.conf 5 )
+to get the default domain name,
+search list and
+the Internet address of the local name server(s).
+If no server is configured, the host running
+the resolver is tried.
+The current domain name is defined by the hostname
+if not specified in the configuration file;
+it can be overridden by the environment variable
+.Ev LOCALDOMAIN .
+This environment variable may contain several blank-separated
+tokens if you wish to override the
+.Fa search list
+on a per-process basis.
+This is similar to the
+.Fa search
+command in the configuration file.
+Another environment variable
+.Ev RES_OPTIONS
+can be set to override certain internal resolver options which
+are otherwise set by changing fields in the
+.Fa _res
+structure or are inherited from the configuration file's
+.Fa options
+command.
+The syntax of the
+.Ev RES_OPTIONS
+environment variable is explained in
+.Xr resolv.conf 5 .
+Initialization normally occurs on the first call
+to one of the following routines.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn res_query
+function provides an interface to the server query mechanism.
+It constructs a query, sends it to the local server,
+awaits a response, and makes preliminary checks on the reply.
+The query requests information of the specified
+.Fa type
+and
+.Fa class
+for the specified fully-qualified domain name
+.Fa dname .
+The reply message is left in the
+.Fa answer
+buffer with length
+.Fa anslen
+supplied by the caller.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn res_search
+routine makes a query and awaits a response like
+.Fn res_query ,
+but in addition, it implements the default and search rules
+controlled by the
+.Dv RES_DEFNAMES
+and
+.Dv RES_DNSRCH
+options.
+It returns the first successful reply.
+.Pp
+The remaining routines are lower-level routines used by
+.Fn res_query .
+The
+.Fn res_mkquery
+function
+constructs a standard query message and places it in
+.Fa buf .
+It returns the size of the query, or \-1 if the query is
+larger than
+.Fa buflen .
+The query type
+.Fa op
+is usually
+.Dv QUERY ,
+but can be any of the query types defined in
+.Aq Pa arpa/nameser.h .
+The domain name for the query is given by
+.Fa dname .
+.Fa newrr
+is currently unused but is intended for making update messages.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn res_send
+routine
+sends a pre-formatted query and returns an answer.
+It will call
+.Fn res_init
+if
+.Dv RES_INIT
+is not set, send the query to the local name server, and
+handle timeouts and retries.
+The length of the reply message is returned, or
+\-1 if there were errors.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn dn_comp
+function
+compresses the domain name
+.Fa exp_dn
+and stores it in
+.Fa comp_dn .
+The size of the compressed name is returned or \-1 if there were errors.
+The size of the array pointed to by
+.Fa comp_dn
+is given by
+.Fa length .
+The compression uses
+an array of pointers
+.Fa dnptrs
+to previously-compressed names in the current message.
+The first pointer points
+to the beginning of the message and the list ends with
+.Dv NULL .
+The limit to the array is specified by
+.Fa lastdnptr .
+A side effect of
+.Fn dn_comp
+is to update the list of pointers for
+labels inserted into the message
+as the name is compressed.
+If
+.Em dnptr
+is
+.Dv NULL, names are not compressed.
+If
+.Fa lastdnptr
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the list of labels is not updated.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn dn_expand
+entry
+expands the compressed domain name
+.Fa comp_dn
+to a full domain name
+The compressed name is contained in a query or reply message;
+.Fa msg
+is a pointer to the beginning of the message.
+The uncompressed name is placed in the buffer indicated by
+.Fa exp_dn
+which is of size
+.Fa length .
+The size of compressed name is returned or \-1 if there was an error.
