115     <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
116     <para>
117       These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
118       lightweight resolver no-op request and response messages.
119     </para>
120     <para>
121       The no-op message is analogous to a <command>ping</command>
122       packet:
123       a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back.
124       The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is
125       operational or not.
126     </para>
127     <para>
128       There are four main functions for the no-op opcode.
129       One render function converts a no-op request structure &mdash;
130       <type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type> &mdash;
131       to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
132       It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
133       canonical format to a no-op request structure.
134       Another render function converts the no-op response structure &mdash;
135       <type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type>
136       to the canonical format.
137       This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
138       canonical format to a no-op response structure.
139     </para>
140     <para>
141       These structures are defined in
142       <filename>lwres/lwres.h</filename>.
143
144       They are shown below.
145     </para>
146     <para><programlisting>
147 #define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP       0x00000000U
148 </programlisting>
149     </para>
150     <para><programlisting>
151 typedef struct {
152         lwres_uint16_t  datalength;
153         unsigned char   *data;
154 } lwres_nooprequest_t;
155 </programlisting>
156     </para>
157     <para><programlisting>
158 typedef struct {
159         lwres_uint16_t  datalength;
160         unsigned char   *data;
161 } lwres_noopresponse_t;
162 </programlisting>
163     </para>
164     <para>
165       Although the structures have different types, they are identical.
166       This is because the no-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent:
167       the response is therefore identical to the request.
168     </para>
169
170     <para><function>lwres_nooprequest_render()</function>
171       uses resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert
172       no-op request structure <parameter>req</parameter> to canonical
173       format.  The packet header structure <parameter>pkt</parameter>
174       is initialised and transferred to buffer
175       <parameter>b</parameter>.  The contents of
176       <parameter>*req</parameter> are then appended to the buffer in
177       canonical format.
178       <function>lwres_noopresponse_render()</function> performs the
179       same task, except it converts a no-op response structure
180       <type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type> to the lightweight resolver's
181       canonical format.
182     </para>
183
184     <para><function>lwres_nooprequest_parse()</function>
185       uses context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert the contents
186       of packet <parameter>pkt</parameter> to a
187       <type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type> structure.  Buffer
188       <parameter>b</parameter> provides space to be used for storing
189       this structure.  When the function succeeds, the resulting
190       <type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type> is made available through
191       <parameter>*structp</parameter>.
192       <function>lwres_noopresponse_parse()</function> offers the same
193       semantics as <function>lwres_nooprequest_parse()</function>
194       except it yields a <type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type> structure.
195     </para>
196
197     <para><function>lwres_noopresponse_free()</function>
198       and <function>lwres_nooprequest_free()</function> release the
199       memory in resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> that was
200       allocated to the <type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type> or
201       <type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type> structures referenced via
202       <parameter>structp</parameter>.
