39 * This file contains the unbound interface for use with libevent.
40 * You have to use the same libevent that unbound was compiled with,
41 * otherwise it wouldn't work, the event and event_base structures would
42 * be different. If unbound is compiled without libevent support then
43 * this header file is not supposed to be installed on the system.
45 * Use ub_ctx_create_event_base() to create an unbound context that uses
46 * the event base that you have made. Then, use the ub_resolve_event call
47 * to add DNS resolve queries to the context. Those then run when you
48 * call event_dispatch() on your event_base, and when they are done you
49 * get a function callback.
51 * This method does not fork another process or create a thread, the effort
52 * is done by the unbound state machines that are connected to the event_base.

68 * Create a resolving and validation context.
69 * The information from /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts is not utilised by
70 * default. Use ub_ctx_resolvconf and ub_ctx_hosts to read them.
71 * @param base: the event base that the caller has created. The unbound
72 * context uses this event base.
73 * @return a new context. default initialisation.
74 * returns NULL on error.
75 * You must use ub_resolve_event with this context.
76 * Do not call ub_ctx_async, ub_poll, ub_wait, ub_process, this is all done
77 * with the event_base. Setup the options you like with the other functions.

92 * Asynchronous, after a while, the callback will be called with your
93 * data and the result. Uses the event_base user installed by creating the
94 * context with ub_ctx_create_event().
95 * @param ctx: context with event_base in it.
96 * The context is finalized, and can no longer accept all config changes.
97 * @param name: domain name in text format (a string).
98 * @param rrtype: type of RR in host order, 1 is A.
99 * @param rrclass: class of RR in host order, 1 is IN (for internet).
100 * @param mydata: this data is your own data (you can pass NULL),
101 * and is passed on to the callback function.
102 * @param callback: this is called on completion of the resolution.
104 * void callback(void* mydata, int rcode, void* packet, int packet_len,
105 * int sec, char* why_bogus)
106 * with mydata: the same as passed here, you may pass NULL,
107 * with rcode: 0 on no error, nonzero for mostly SERVFAIL situations,
108 * this is a DNS rcode.
109 * with packet: a buffer with DNS wireformat packet with the answer.
110 * do not inspect if rcode != 0.
111 * do not write or free the packet buffer, it is used internally
112 * in unbound (for other callbacks that want the same data).
113 * with packet_len: length in bytes of the packet buffer.
114 * with sec: 0 if insecure, 1 if bogus, 2 if DNSSEC secure.
115 * with why_bogus: text string explaining why it is bogus (or NULL).
116 * These point to buffers inside unbound; do not deallocate the packet or
119 * If an error happens during processing, your callback will be called
120 * with error set to a nonzero value (and result==NULL).
121 * For localdata (etc/hosts) the callback is called immediately, before
122 * resolve_event returns, async_id=0 is returned.
123 * @param async_id: if you pass a non-NULL value, an identifier number is
124 * returned for the query as it is in progress. It can be used to
126 * @return 0 if OK, else error.
