.Sh DESCRIPTION
This family of functions allows you to perform lookups of Hesiod
information, which is stored as text records in the Domain Name
Service. To perform lookups, you must first initialize a
.IR context ,
Service.
To perform lookups, you must first initialize a
.Fa context ,
an opaque object which stores information used internally by the
library between calls.
.I hesiod_init
.Fn hesiod_init
initializes a context, storing a pointer to the context in the
location pointed to by the
.I context
.Fa context
argument.
.I hesiod_end
.Fn hesiod_end
frees the resources used by a context.
.PP
.I hesiod_resolve
is the primary interface to the library. If successful, it returns a
.Pp
.Fn hesiod_resolve
is the primary interface to the library.
If successful, it returns a
list of one or more strings giving the records matching
.I name
.Fa name
and
.IR type .
The last element of the list is followed by a NULL pointer. It is the
.Fa type .
The last element of the list is followed by a
.Dv NULL
pointer.
It is the
caller's responsibility to call
.I hesiod_free_list
.Fn hesiod_free_list
to free the resources used by the returned list.
.PP
.I hesiod_to_bind
.Pp
.Fn hesiod_to_bind
converts
.I name
.Fa name
and
.I type
.Fa type
into the DNS name used by
.IR hesiod_resolve .
.Fn hesiod_resolve .
It is the caller's responsibility to free the returned string using
.IR free .
.SH RETURN VALUES
If successful,
.I hesiod_init
returns 0; otherwise it returns \-1 and sets
.I errno
to indicate the error. On failure,
.I hesiod_resolve
.Fn free .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std hesiod_init
On failure,
.Fn hesiod_resolve
and
.I hesiod_to_bind
return NULL and set the global variable
.I errno
.Fn hesiod_to_bind
return
.Dv NULL
and set the global variable
.Va errno
to indicate the error.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.Sh ENVIRONMENT

.It Ev HES_DOMAIN
If the environment variable
.B HES_DOMAIN
.Ev HES_DOMAIN
is set, it will override the domain in the Hesiod configuration file.
.It Ev HESIOD_CONFIG
If the environment variable
.B HESIOD_CONFIG
.Ev HESIOD_CONFIG
is set, it specifies the location of the Hesiod configuration file.

.Sh ERRORS
Hesiod calls may fail because of:
.IP ENOMEM
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Insufficient memory was available to carry out the requested
operation.
.IP ENOEXEC
.I hesiod_init
.It Bq Er ENOEXEC
.Fn hesiod_init
failed because the Hesiod configuration file was invalid.
.IP ECONNREFUSED
.I hesiod_resolve
.It Bq Er ECONNREFUSED
.Fn hesiod_resolve
failed because no name server could be contacted to answer the query.
.IP EMSGSIZE
.I hesiod_resolve
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
.Fn hesiod_resolve
or
.I hesiod_to_bind
.Fn hesiod_to_bind
failed because the query or response was too big to fit into the
packet buffers.
.IP ENOENT
.I hesiod_resolve
.It Bq Er ENOENT
.Fn hesiod_resolve
failed because the name server had no text records matching
.I name
.Fa name
and
.IR type ,
.Fa type ,
or
.I hesiod_to_bind
.Fn hesiod_to_bind
failed because the
.I name
.Fa name
argument had a domain extension which could not be resolved with type
``rhs-extension'' in the local Hesiod domain.

values set by the Hesiod functions are not particularly indicative of
what went wrong, especially for
