The no-op message is analogous to a ping packet: a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back. The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is operational or not. There are four main functions for the no-op opcode. One render function converts a no-op request structure — lwres_nooprequest_t — to the lighweight resolver's canonical format. It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this canonical format to a no-op request structure. Another render function converts the no-op response structure — lwres_noopresponse_t to the canonical format. This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in canonical format to a no-op response structure. These structures are defined in lwres/lwres.h. They are shown below. #define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP 0x00000000U typedef struct { lwres_uint16_t datalength; unsigned char *data; } lwres_nooprequest_t; typedef struct { lwres_uint16_t datalength; unsigned char *data; } lwres_noopresponse_t; Although the structures have different types, they are identical. This is because the no-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent: the response is therefore identical to the request. lwres_nooprequest_render() uses resolver context ctx to convert no-op request structure req to canonical format. The packet header structure pkt is initialised and transferred to buffer b. The contents of *req are then appended to the buffer in canonical format. lwres_noopresponse_render() performs the same task, except it converts a no-op response structure lwres_noopresponse_t to the lightweight resolver's canonical format. lwres_nooprequest_parse() uses context ctx to convert the contents of packet pkt to a lwres_nooprequest_t structure. Buffer b provides space to be used for storing this structure. When the function succeeds, the resulting lwres_nooprequest_t is made available through *structp. lwres_noopresponse_parse() offers the same semantics as lwres_nooprequest_parse() except it yields a lwres_noopresponse_t structure. lwres_noopresponse_free() and lwres_nooprequest_free() release the memory in resolver context ctx that was allocated to the lwres_noopresponse_t or lwres_nooprequest_t structures referenced via structp. The no-op opcode functions lwres_nooprequest_render(), lwres_noopresponse_render() lwres_nooprequest_parse() and lwres_noopresponse_parse() all return LWRES_R_SUCCESS on success. They return LWRES_R_NOMEMORY if memory allocation fails. LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND is returned if the available space in the buffer b is too small to accommodate the packet header or the lwres_nooprequest_t and lwres_noopresponse_t structures. lwres_nooprequest_parse() and lwres_noopresponse_parse() will return LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet. These functions will return LWRES_R_FAILURE if pktflags in the packet header structure lwres_lwpacket_t indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query. lwres_packet3
