Description

The hes_resolve library is the primary interface to the Hesiod name server.  The library routine takes two arguments, a name to be resolved and a string, known as a HesiodNameType. It returns a NULL terminated vector of strings for each resource record containing Hesiod data, or NULL if there is any error.

In the event of an error, you can call the hes_error routine to determine the source of the error.
