_putshort()--Put Short Byte Quantities
Syntax
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/nameser.h> #include <resolv.h> void _putshort(unsigned short short_integer, unsigned char *message_pointer)
Threadsafe: Yes
The _putshort() function is used to put an unsigned short byte quantity into a byte stream.
Authorities and Locks
None.
Parameters
- unsigned short short_int
- (Input) The 16-bit integer to be put into the byte stream.
- unsigned char *message_pointer
- (Input) The pointer to where the short_integer is to be put.
Return Value
_putshort() puts a 16-bit integer into message_pointer.
Usage Notes
DNS packets have fields that are unsigned short integers (for example, type, class, and data length). _putshort() is generally used to put these fields into a DNS packet.
