-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.B Unbound
-is an implementation of a DNS resolver, that does caching and
-DNSSEC validation. This is the library API, for using the \-lunbound library.
-The server daemon is described in \fIunbound\fR(8).
-The library can be used to convert hostnames to ip addresses, and back,
-and obtain other information from the DNS. The library performs public\-key
-validation of results with DNSSEC.
-.P
-The library uses a variable of type \fIstruct ub_ctx\fR to keep context
-between calls. The user must maintain it, creating it with
-.B ub_ctx_create
-and deleting it with
-.B ub_ctx_delete\fR.
-It can be created and deleted at any time. Creating it anew removes any
-previous configuration (such as trusted keys) and clears any cached results.
-.P
-The functions are thread\-safe, and a context an be used in a threaded (as
-well as in a non\-threaded) environment. Also resolution (and validation)
-can be performed blocking and non\-blocking (also called asynchronous).
-The async method returns from the call immediately, so that processing
-can go on, while the results become available later.
-.P
-The functions are discussed in turn below.
-.SH "FUNCTIONS"
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_create
-Create a new context, initialised with defaults.
-The information from /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts is not utilised
-by default. Use
-.B ub_ctx_resolvconf
-and
-.B ub_ctx_hosts
-to read them.
-Before you call this, use the openssl functions CRYPTO_set_id_callback and
-CRYPTO_set_locking_callback to set up asynchronous operation if you use
-lib openssl (the application calls these functions once for initialisation).
-Openssl 1.0.0 or later uses the CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback function.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_delete
-Delete validation context and free associated resources.
-Outstanding async queries are killed and callbacks are not called for them.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_set_option
-A power\-user interface that lets you specify one of the options from the
-config file format, see \fIunbound.conf\fR(5). Not all options are
-relevant. For some specific options, such as adding trust anchors, special
-routines exist. Pass the option name with the trailing ':'.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_get_option
-A power\-user interface that gets an option value. Some options cannot be
-gotten, and others return a newline separated list. Pass the option name
-without trailing ':'. The returned value must be free(2)d by the caller.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_config
-A power\-user interface that lets you specify an unbound config file, see
-\fIunbound.conf\fR(5), which is read for configuration. Not all options are
-relevant. For some specific options, such as adding trust anchors, special
-routines exist.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_set_fwd
-Set machine to forward DNS queries to, the caching resolver to use.
-IP4 or IP6 address. Forwards all DNS requests to that machine, which
-is expected to run a recursive resolver. If the proxy is not
-DNSSEC capable, validation may fail. Can be called several times, in
-that case the addresses are used as backup servers.
-At this time it is only possible to set configuration before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_set_stub
-Set a stub zone, authoritative dns servers to use for a particular zone.
-IP4 or IP6 address. If the address is NULL the stub entry is removed.
-Set isprime true if you configure root hints with it. Otherwise similar to
-the stub zone item from unbound's config file. Can be called several times,
-for different zones, or to add multiple addresses for a particular zone.
-At this time it is only possible to set configuration before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_resolvconf
-By default the root servers are queried and full resolver mode is used, but
-you can use this call to read the list of nameservers to use from the
-filename given.
-Usually "/etc/resolv.conf". Uses those nameservers as caching proxies.
-If they do not support DNSSEC, validation may fail.
-Only nameservers are picked up, the searchdomain, ndots and other
-settings from \fIresolv.conf\fR(5) are ignored.
-If fname NULL is passed, "/etc/resolv.conf" is used (if on Windows,
-the system\-wide configured nameserver is picked instead).
-At this time it is only possible to set configuration before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_hosts
-Read list of hosts from the filename given.
-Usually "/etc/hosts". When queried for, these addresses are not marked
-DNSSEC secure. If fname NULL is passed, "/etc/hosts" is used
-(if on Windows, etc/hosts from WINDIR is picked instead).
-At this time it is only possible to set configuration before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B
-ub_ctx_add_ta
-Add a trust anchor to the given context.
-At this time it is only possible to add trusted keys before the
-first resolve is done.
-The format is a string, similar to the zone\-file format,
-[domainname] [type] [rdata contents]. Both DS and DNSKEY records are accepted.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_add_ta_autr
-Add filename with automatically tracked trust anchor to the given context.
-Pass name of a file with the managed trust anchor. You can create this
-file with \fIunbound\-anchor\fR(8) for the root anchor. You can also
-create it with an initial file with one line with a DNSKEY or DS record.
-If the file is writable, it is updated when the trust anchor changes.
-At this time it is only possible to add trusted keys before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_add_ta_file
-Add trust anchors to the given context.
-Pass name of a file with DS and DNSKEY records in zone file format.
-At this time it is only possible to add trusted keys before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_trustedkeys
-Add trust anchors to the given context.
-Pass the name of a bind\-style config file with trusted\-keys{}.
-At this time it is only possible to add trusted keys before the
-first resolve is done.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_debugout
-Set debug and error log output to the given stream. Pass NULL to disable
-output. Default is stderr. File\-names or using syslog can be enabled
-using config options, this routine is for using your own stream.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_debuglevel
-Set debug verbosity for the context. Output is directed to stderr.
-Higher debug level gives more output.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_async
-Set a context behaviour for asynchronous action.
-if set to true, enables threading and a call to
-.B ub_resolve_async
-creates a thread to handle work in the background.
-If false, a process is forked to handle work in the background.
-Changes to this setting after
-.B ub_resolve_async
-calls have been made have no effect (delete and re\-create the context
-to change).
-.TP
-.B ub_poll
-Poll a context to see if it has any new results.
-Do not poll in a loop, instead extract the fd below to poll for readiness,
-and then check, or wait using the wait routine.
-Returns 0 if nothing to read, or nonzero if a result is available.
-If nonzero, call
-.B ub_process
-to do callbacks.
-.TP
-.B ub_wait
-Wait for a context to finish with results. Calls
-.B ub_process
-after the wait for you. After the wait, there are no more outstanding
-asynchronous queries.
-.TP
-.B ub_fd
-Get file descriptor. Wait for it to become readable, at this point
-answers are returned from the asynchronous validating resolver.
-Then call the \fBub_process\fR to continue processing.
-.TP
-.B ub_process
-Call this routine to continue processing results from the validating
-resolver (when the fd becomes readable).
-Will perform necessary callbacks.
-.TP
-.B ub_resolve
-Perform resolution and validation of the target name.
-The name is a domain name in a zero terminated text string.
-The rrtype and rrclass are DNS type and class codes.
-The result structure is newly allocated with the resulting data.
-.TP
-.B ub_resolve_async
-Perform asynchronous resolution and validation of the target name.
-Arguments mean the same as for \fBub_resolve\fR except no
-data is returned immediately, instead a callback is called later.
-The callback receives a copy of the mydata pointer, that you can use to pass
-information to the callback. The callback type is a function pointer to
-a function declared as
-.IP
-void my_callback_function(void* my_arg, int err,
-.br
- struct ub_result* result);
-.IP
-The async_id is returned so you can (at your option) decide to track it
-and cancel the request if needed. If you pass a NULL pointer the async_id
-is not returned.
-.TP
-.B ub_cancel
-Cancel an async query in progress. This may return an error if the query
-does not exist, or the query is already being delivered, in that case you
-may still get a callback for the query.
-.TP
-.B ub_resolve_free
-Free struct ub_result contents after use.
-.TP
-.B ub_strerror
-Convert error value from one of the unbound library functions
-to a human readable string.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_print_local_zones
-Debug printout the local authority information to debug output.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_zone_add
-Add new zone to local authority info, like local\-zone \fIunbound.conf\fR(5)
-statement.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_zone_remove
-Delete zone from local authority info.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_data_add
-Add resource record data to local authority info, like local\-data
-\fIunbound.conf\fR(5) statement.
-.TP
-.B ub_ctx_data_remove
-Delete local authority data from the name given.
-.SH "RESULT DATA STRUCTURE"
-The result of the DNS resolution and validation is returned as
-\fIstruct ub_result\fR. The result structure contains the following entries.
-.P
-.nf
- struct ub_result {
- char* qname; /* text string, original question */
- int qtype; /* type code asked for */
- int qclass; /* class code asked for */
- char** data; /* array of rdata items, NULL terminated*/
- int* len; /* array with lengths of rdata items */
- char* canonname; /* canonical name of result */
- int rcode; /* additional error code in case of no data */
- void* answer_packet; /* full network format answer packet */
- int answer_len; /* length of packet in octets */
- int havedata; /* true if there is data */
- int nxdomain; /* true if nodata because name does not exist */
- int secure; /* true if result is secure */
- int bogus; /* true if a security failure happened */
- char* why_bogus; /* string with error if bogus */
- int ttl; /* number of seconds the result is valid */
- };
-.fi
-.P
-If both secure and bogus are false, security was not enabled for the
-domain of the query. Else, they are not both true, one of them is true.
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-Many routines return an error code. The value 0 (zero) denotes no error
-happened. Other values can be passed to
-.B ub_strerror
-to obtain a readable error string.
-.B ub_strerror
-returns a zero terminated string.
-.B ub_ctx_create
-returns NULL on an error (a malloc failure).
-.B ub_poll
-returns true if some information may be available, false otherwise.
-.B ub_fd
-returns a file descriptor or \-1 on error.
