+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBlwres_getrrsetbyname()\fR
+gets a set of resource records associated with a
+\fIhostname\fR,
+\fIclass\fR,
+and
+\fItype\fR.
+\fIhostname\fR
+is
+a pointer a to null-terminated string. The
+\fIflags\fR
+field is currently unused and must be zero.
+.PP
+After a successful call to
+\fBlwres_getrrsetbyname()\fR,
+\fI*res\fR
+is a pointer to an
+\fBrrsetinfo\fR
+structure, containing a list of one or more
+\fBrdatainfo\fR
+structures containing resource records and potentially another list of
+\fBrdatainfo\fR
+structures containing SIG resource records
+associated with those records.
+The members
+rri_rdclass
+and
+rri_rdtype
+are copied from the parameters.
+rri_ttl
+and
+rri_name
+are properties of the obtained rrset.
+The resource records contained in
+rri_rdatas
+and
+rri_sigs
+are in uncompressed DNS wire format.
+Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
+rri_flags
+bitfield. If the RRSET_VALIDATED bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC
+validated and the signatures verified.
+.PP
+All of the information returned by
+\fBlwres_getrrsetbyname()\fR
+is dynamically allocated: the
+rrsetinfo
+and
+rdatainfo
+structures,
+and the canonical host name strings pointed to by the
+rrsetinfostructure.
+Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures created by
+a successful call to
+\fBlwres_getrrsetbyname()\fR
+is released by
+\fBlwres_freerrset()\fR.
+\fIrrset\fR
+is a pointer to a
+\fBstruct rrset\fR
+created by a call to
+\fBlwres_getrrsetbyname()\fR.
+.PP
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+\fBlwres_getrrsetbyname()\fR
+returns zero on success, and one of the following error
+codes if an error occurred:
+.TP
+\fBERRSET_NONAME\fR
+the name does not exist
+.TP
+\fBERRSET_NODATA\fR
+the name exists, but does not have data of the desired type
+.TP
+\fBERRSET_NOMEMORY\fR
+memory could not be allocated
+.TP
+\fBERRSET_INVAL\fR
+a parameter is invalid
+.TP
+\fBERRSET_FAIL\fR
+other failure
+.TP
