<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>message_pointer</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The pointer where the long integer is to be received from.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><em>_getlong()</em> returns a 32-bit integer from where
<em>message_pointer</em> is pointing.</p>
<br>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>DNS packets have fields that are unsigned long integers (for example, TTL
and serial number). <em>_getlong()</em> picks these unsigned long integers out
of a DNS packet and returns them.</li>
</ol>
