DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  dn_skipname() function skips over a compressed domain
       name.

       The dn_skipname() function is one of a set of  subroutines
       that  form  the  resolver, a set of functions that resolve
       domain names.  Global information  that  is  used  by  the
       resolver functions is kept in the _res data structure. The
       include/resolv.h file contains the _res structure  definition.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Upon  successful  completion,  the  dn_skipname() function
       returns the size of the compressed  domain  name.  If  the
       dn_skipname() function fails, -1 is returned.
