#define kDNSServiceMaxDomainName 1005

/*
 * Notes on DNS Name Escaping
 *   -- or --
 * "Why is kDNSServiceMaxDomainName 1005, when the maximum legal domain name is 255 bytes?"
 *
 * All strings used in DNS-SD are UTF-8 strings.
 * With few exceptions, most are also escaped using standard DNS escaping rules:
 *
 *   '\\' represents a single literal '\' in the name
 *   '\.' represents a single literal '.' in the name
 *   '\ddd', where ddd is a three-digit decimal value from 000 to 255,
 *        represents a single literal byte with that value.
 *   A bare unescaped '.' is a label separator, marking a boundary between domain and subdomain.
 *
 * The exceptions, that do not use escaping, are the routines where the full
 * DNS name of a resource is broken, for convenience, into servicename/regtype/domain.
 * In these routines, the "servicename" is NOT escaped. It does not need to be, since
 * it is, by definition, just a single literal string. Any characters in that string
 * represent exactly what they are. The "regtype" portion is, technically speaking,
 * escaped, but since legal regtypes are only allowed to contain letters, digits,
 * and hyphens, the issue is moot. The "domain" portion is also escaped, though
 * most domains in use on the public Internet today, like regtypes, don't contain
 * any characters that need to be escaped. As DNS-SD becomes more popular, rich-text
 * domains for service discovery will become common, so software should be written
 * to cope with domains with escaping.
 *
 * For most software, these issues are transparent. When browsing, the discovered
 * servicenames should simply be displayed as-is. When resolving, the discovered
 * servicename/regtype/domain are simply passed unchanged to DNSServiceResolve().
 * When a DNSServiceResolve() succeeds, the returned fullname is already in
 * the correct format to pass to standard system DNS APIs such as res_query().
 * For converting from servicename/regtype/domain to a single properly-escaped
 * full DNS name, the helper function DNSServiceConstructFullName() is provided.
 *
 * The following (highly contrived) example illustrates the escaping process.
 * Suppose you have an service called "Dr. Smith\Dr. Johnson", of type "_ftp._tcp"
 * in subdomain "4th. Floor" of subdomain "Building 2" of domain "apple.com."
 * The full (escaped) DNS name of this service's SRV record would be:
 * Dr\.\032Smith\\Dr\.\032Johnson._ftp._tcp.4th\.\032Floor.Building\0322.apple.com.
 */


/* 
 * Constants for specifying an interface index
 *
 * Specific interface indexes are identified via a 32-bit unsigned integer returned
 * by the if_nametoindex() family of calls.
 * 
 * If the client passes 0 for interface index, that means "do the right thing",
 * which (at present) means, "if the name is in an mDNS local multicast domain
 * (e.g. 'local.', '254.169.in-addr.arpa.', '0.8.E.F.ip6.arpa.') then multicast
 * on all applicable interfaces, otherwise send via unicast to the appropriate
 * DNS server." Normally, most clients will use 0 for interface index to
 * automatically get the default sensible behaviour.
 * 
 * If the client passes a positive interface index, then for multicast names that
 * indicates to do the operation only on that one interface. For unicast names the
 * interface index is ignored unless kDNSServiceFlagsForceMulticast is also set.
 * 
 * If the client passes kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly when registering
 * a service, then that service will be found *only* by other local clients
 * on the same machine that are browsing using kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly
 * or kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexAny.
 * If a client has a 'private' service, accessible only to other processes
 * running on the same machine, this allows the client to advertise that service
 * in a way such that it does not inadvertently appear in service lists on
 * all the other machines on the network.
 * 
 * If the client passes kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly when browsing
 * then it will find *all* records registered on that same local machine.
 * Clients explicitly wishing to discover *only* LocalOnly services can
 * accomplish this by inspecting the interfaceIndex of each service reported
 * to their DNSServiceBrowseReply() callback function, and discarding those
 * where the interface index is not kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly.

 *
 * flags:           Currently unused, reserved for future use.
 *
 * errorCode:       Will be kDNSServiceErr_NoError on success, otherwise will

 *
 * name:            The service name registered (if the application did not specify a name in

 *
 * domain:          The domain on which the service was registered (if the application did not

/* DNSServiceRegister()  Parameters:
 *
 * sdRef:           A pointer to an uninitialized DNSServiceRef. If the call succeeds 
 *                  then it initializes the DNSServiceRef, returns kDNSServiceErr_NoError,
 *                  and the registration will remain active indefinitely until the client
 *                  terminates it by passing this DNSServiceRef to DNSServiceRefDeallocate().
 *
 * interfaceIndex:  If non-zero, specifies the interface on which to register the service
 *                  (the index for a given interface is determined via the if_nametoindex()
 *                  family of calls.)  Most applications will pass 0 to register on all
 *                  available interfaces. See "Constants for specifying an interface index" for more details.
 *
 * flags:           Indicates the renaming behavior on name conflict (most applications
 *                  will pass 0).  See flag definitions above for details.
 *
 * name:            If non-NULL, specifies the service name to be registered.
 *                  Most applications will not specify a name, in which case the
 *                  computer name is used (this name is communicated to the client via
 *                  the callback).
 *
 * regtype:         The service type followed by the protocol, separated by a dot
 *                  (e.g. "_ftp._tcp").  The transport protocol must be "_tcp" or "_udp".
 *                  New service types should be registered at htp://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html.
 *
 * domain:          If non-NULL, specifies the domain on which to advertise the service.
 *                  Most applications will not specify a domain, instead automatically
 *                  registering in the default domain(s).
 *
 * host:            If non-NULL, specifies the SRV target host name.  Most applications
 *                  will not specify a host, instead automatically using the machine's
 *                  default host name(s).  Note that specifying a non-NULL host does NOT
 *                  create an address record for that host - the application is responsible
 *                  for ensuring that the appropriate address record exists, or creating it
 *                  via DNSServiceRegisterRecord().
 *
 * port:            The port, in network byte order, on which the service accepts connections.
 *                  Pass 0 for a "placeholder" service (i.e. a service that will not be discovered
 *                  by browsing, but will cause a name conflict if another client tries to
 *                  register that same name).  Most clients will not use placeholder services.
 *
 * txtLen:          The length of the txtRecord, in bytes.  Must be zero if the txtRecord is NULL.
 *
 * txtRecord:       The txt record rdata.  May be NULL.  Note that a non-NULL txtRecord
 *                  MUST be a properly formatted DNS TXT record, i.e. <length byte> <data>
 *                  <length byte> <data> ...
 *
 * callBack:        The function to be called when the registration completes or asynchronously
 *                  fails.  The client MAY pass NULL for the callback -  The client will NOT be notified
 *                  of the default values picked on its behalf, and the client will NOT be notified of any
 *                  asynchronous errors (e.g. out of memory errors, etc.) that may prevent the registration
 *                  of the service.  The client may NOT pass the NoAutoRename flag if the callback is NULL.
 *                  The client may still deregister the service at any time via DNSServiceRefDeallocate().
 *
 * context:         An application context pointer which is passed to the callback function
 *                  (may be NULL).
 *
 * return value:    Returns kDNSServiceErr_NoError on succeses (any subsequent, asynchronous
 *                  errors are delivered to the callback), otherwise returns an error code indicating
 *                  the error that occurred (the callback is never invoked and the DNSServiceRef
 *                  is not initialized.)

 *
 * regtype:         The service type, which is usually (but not always) the same as was passed
 *                  to DNSServiceBrowse(). One case where the discovered service type may

 *
 * Resolve a service name discovered via DNSServiceBrowse() to a target host name, port number, and

 *
 * Note: Applications should NOT use DNSServiceResolve() solely for txt record monitoring - use

 *
 * Creates a new empty TXTRecordRef referencing the specified storage.
 *
 * If the buffer parameter is NULL, or the specified storage size is not
 * large enough to hold a key subsequently added using TXTRecordSetValue(),
 * then additional memory will be added as needed using malloc().
 *
 * On some platforms, when memory is low, malloc() may fail. In this
 * case, TXTRecordSetValue() will return kDNSServiceErr_NoMemory, and this
 * error condition will need to be handled as appropriate by the caller.
 *
 * You can avoid the need to handle this error condition if you ensure
 * that the storage you initially provide is large enough to hold all
 * the key/value pairs that are to be added to the record.
 * The caller can precompute the exact length required for all of the
 * key/value pairs to be added, or simply provide a fixed-sized buffer
 * known in advance to be large enough.
 * A no-value (key-only) key requires  (1 + key length) bytes.
 * A key with empty value requires     (1 + key length + 1) bytes.
 * A key with non-empty value requires (1 + key length + 1 + value length).
 * For most applications, DNS-SD TXT records are generally
 * less than 100 bytes, so in most cases a simple fixed-sized
 * 256-byte buffer will be more than sufficient.
 * Recommended size limits for DNS-SD TXT Records are discussed in

 *
 * Note: When passing parameters to and from these TXT record APIs,

/*********************************************************************************************
 *
 *   TXT Record Parsing Functions
 *
 *********************************************************************************************/

/*
 * A typical calling sequence for TXT record parsing is something like:
 *
 * Receive TXT record data in DNSServiceResolve() callback
 * if (TXTRecordContainsKey(txtLen, txtRecord, "key")) then do something
 * val1ptr = TXTRecordGetValuePtr(txtLen, txtRecord, "key1", &len1);
 * val2ptr = TXTRecordGetValuePtr(txtLen, txtRecord, "key2", &len2);
 * ...
 * bcopy(val1ptr, myval1, len1);
 * bcopy(val2ptr, myval2, len2);
 * ...
 * return;
 *
 * If you wish to retain the values after return from the DNSServiceResolve()
 * callback, then you need to copy the data to your own storage using bcopy()
 * or similar, as shown in the example above.
 *
 * If for some reason you need to parse a TXT record you built yourself
 * using the TXT record construction functions above, then you can do
 * that using TXTRecordGetLength and TXTRecordGetBytesPtr calls:
 * TXTRecordGetValue(TXTRecordGetLength(x), TXTRecordGetBytesPtr(x), key, &len);
 *
 * Most applications only fetch keys they know about from a TXT record and
 * ignore the rest.
 * However, some debugging tools wish to fetch and display all keys.
 * To do that, use the TXTRecordGetCount() and TXTRecordGetItemAtIndex() calls.
 */

 *
