<p>The <em>res_xlate()</em> function is used to translate a standard DNS packet
between ASCII and EBCDIC.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>input_ccsid</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The CCSID value of the input packet to be translated.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>input_packet</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The pointer to where the standard DNS packet to be translated
resides.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>input_length</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The length of <em>input_packet</em>.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>output_ccsid</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The CCSID value for the output packet.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>output_packet</strong></dt>
<dd>(Output) The pointer to where the translated DNS packet will be stored.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>output_length</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The length of <em>output_packet</em>.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>No authorization is required.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><em>res_xlate()</em> returns an integer. Possible values are:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 (successful)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>0 (unsuccessful - translation error)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>-1 (unsuccessful - errors other than translation)</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>When the <em>res_xlate()</em> function fails, it does not set specific
<em>errno</em> or <em>h_errno</em> values. An error occurs under the following
conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>NULL pointer(s) passed to the function.<br><br></li>
<li>Invalid pointer(s) passed to the function.<br><br></li>
<li>Invalid lengths passed to the function.<br><br></li>
<li>An invalid packet format encountered.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li><em>res_xlate()</em> parses through <em>input_packet</em>, determining
which fields need translation. The packet is copied into <em>output_packet</em>
as it is parsed, translating the fields as needed from <em>input_ccsid</em> to
<em>output_ccsid</em>. If a bad format is encountered or a user-supplied length
is too small, <em>res_xlate()</em> returns a -1.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>If there is an error in the translation of
<strong><em>input_packet</em></strong> from
<strong><em>input_ccsid</em></strong> to
<strong><em>output_ccsid</em></strong>, <em>res_xlate()</em> returns a value of
0 to the caller.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li><em>res_xlate()</em> expects a value of 819 (ASCII) for either the input or
output coded character set identifier (CCSID). If translation from an EBCDIC
CCSID is to occur, the output CCSID needs to be set to 819.
<strong><em>input_packet</em></strong> is then translated to ASCII, and the
result is placed in <strong><em>output_packet</em></strong> If translation to
an EBCDIC CCSID is to occur, the input CCSID needs to be set to 819.
<strong><em>input_packet</em></strong> is then translated from ASCII to the
EBCDIC CCSID specified in <strong><em>output_ccsid</em></strong>, and the
result is placed in <strong><em>output_packet</em></strong>.
<p><em>res_xlate()</em> returns unsuccessfully with a value of -1 if CCSID 819
is not used for either <strong><em>input_ccsid</em></strong> or
<strong><em>output_ccsid</em></strong>. Also, if both
<strong><em>input_ccsid</em></strong> and
<strong><em>output_ccsid</em></strong> values are 819, <em>res_xlate()</em>
returns a -1.</p>
</li>
<li>In a thread-enabled environment, the <strong>_res</strong> is shared among
all threads within a process.</li>
</ol>
