unsigned long _getlong (MessagePtr) u_char *MessagePtr;
The _getlong subroutine gets long quantities from the byte stream or arbitrary byte boundaries.
The _getlong subroutine is one of a set of subroutines that form the resolver, a set of functions that resolves domain names. Global information used by the resolver subroutines is kept in the _res data structure. The /usr/include/resolv.h file contains the _res structure definition.
MessagePtr | Specifies a pointer into the byte stream. |
The _getlong subroutine returns an unsigned long (32-bit) value.
The _getlong subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
All applications containing the _getlong subroutine must be compiled with _BSD set to a specific value. Acceptable values are 43 and 44. In addition, all socket applications must include the BSD libbsd.a library.
