+<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+<para>
+These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
+lightweight resolver address-to-name lookup request and
+response messages.
+</para>
+<para>
+There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode.
+One render function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure &mdash;
+<type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type> &mdash;
+to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
+It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
+canonical format to a getnamebyaddr request structure.
+Another render function converts the getnamebyaddr response structure &mdash;
+<type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
+to the canonical format.
+This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
+canonical format to a getnamebyaddr response structure.
+</para>
+<para>
+These structures are defined in
+<filename>lwres/lwres.h</filename>.
+They are shown below.
+<programlisting>
+#define LWRES_OPCODE_GETNAMEBYADDR 0x00010002U
+
+typedef struct {
+ lwres_uint32_t flags;
+ lwres_addr_t addr;
+} lwres_gnbarequest_t;
+
+typedef struct {
+ lwres_uint32_t flags;
+ lwres_uint16_t naliases;
+ char *realname;
+ char **aliases;
+ lwres_uint16_t realnamelen;
+ lwres_uint16_t *aliaslen;
+ void *base;
+ size_t baselen;
+} lwres_gnbaresponse_t;
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+<para>
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_render()</function>
+uses resolver context
+<varname>ctx</varname>
+to convert getnamebyaddr request structure
+<varname>req</varname>
+to canonical format.
+The packet header structure
+<varname>pkt</varname>
+is initialised and transferred to
+buffer
+<varname>b</varname>.
+The contents of
+<varname>*req</varname>
+are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
+<function>lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</function>
+performs the same task, except it converts a getnamebyaddr response structure
+<type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
+to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
+</para>
+<para>
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
+uses context
+<varname>ctx</varname>
+to convert the contents of packet
+<varname>pkt</varname>
+to a
+<type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type>
+structure.
+Buffer
+<varname>b</varname>
+provides space to be used for storing this structure.
+When the function succeeds, the resulting
+<type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type>
+is made available through
+<varname>*structp</varname>.
+<function>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</function>
+offers the same semantics as
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
+except it yields a
+<type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
+structure.
+</para>
+<para>
+<function>lwres_gnbaresponse_free()</function>
+and
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_free()</function>
+release the memory in resolver context
+<varname>ctx</varname>
+that was allocated to the
+<type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
+or
+<type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type>
+structures referenced via
+<varname>structp</varname>.
+Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those
+structures is also discarded.

+<para>
+The getnamebyaddr opcode functions
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_render()</function>,
+<function>lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</function>
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
+and
+<function>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</function>
+all return
+<errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
+on success.
+They return
+<errorcode>LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</errorcode>
+if memory allocation fails.
+<errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
+is returned if the available space in the buffer
+<varname>b</varname>
+is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
+<type>lwres_gnbarequest_t</type>
+and
+<type>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</type>
+structures.
+<function>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</function>
+and
+<function>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</function>
+will return
+<errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
+if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
+These functions will return
+<errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>
+if
+<structfield>pktflags</structfield>
+in the packet header structure
+<type>lwres_lwpacket_t</type>
+indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
