<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>

<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>message_pointer</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The pointer where the short integer is to be received from.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><em>_getshort()</em> returns a 16-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 short integers (for example,
type, class, and data length). <em>_getshort()</em> picks these unsigned short
integers out of a DNS packet and returns them.</li>
</ol>
