<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<function>lwres_conf_init()</function>
creates an empty
<type>lwres_conf_t</type>
structure for lightweight resolver context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>.
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_conf_clear()</function>
frees up all the internal memory used by
that
<type>lwres_conf_t</type>
structure in resolver context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>.
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_conf_parse()</function>
opens the file
<parameter>filename</parameter>
and parses it to initialise the resolver context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>'s
<type>lwres_conf_t</type>
structure.
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_conf_print()</function>
prints the
<type>lwres_conf_t</type>
structure for resolver context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>
to the
<type>FILE</type>
<parameter>fp</parameter>.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>

<title>RETURN VALUES</title>
<para>
<function>lwres_conf_parse()</function>
returns
<errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
if it successfully read and parsed
<parameter>filename</parameter>.
It returns
<errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>
if
<parameter>filename</parameter>
could not be opened or contained incorrect
resolver statements.
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_conf_print()</function>
returns
<errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
unless an error occurred when converting the network addresses to a
numeric host address string.
If this happens, the function returns
<errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>.
