+<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>
+gets a set of resource records associated with a
+<parameter>hostname</parameter>,
+
+<parameter>class</parameter>,
+
+and
+<parameter>type</parameter>.
+
+<parameter>hostname</parameter>
+is
+a pointer a to null-terminated string. The
+<parameter>flags</parameter>
+field is currently unused and must be zero.
+</para>
+<para>
+After a successful call to
+<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>,
+
+<parameter>*res</parameter>
+is a pointer to an
+<type>rrsetinfo</type>
+structure, containing a list of one or more
+<type>rdatainfo</type>
+structures containing resource records and potentially another list of
+<type>rdatainfo</type>
+structures containing SIG resource records
+associated with those records.
+The members
+<constant>rri_rdclass</constant>
+and
+<constant>rri_rdtype</constant>
+are copied from the parameters.
+<constant>rri_ttl</constant>
+and
+<constant>rri_name</constant>
+are properties of the obtained rrset.
+The resource records contained in
+<constant>rri_rdatas</constant>
+and
+<constant>rri_sigs</constant>
+are in uncompressed DNS wire format.
+Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
+<constant>rri_flags</constant>
+bitfield. If the RRSET_VALIDATED bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC
+validated and the signatures verified.
+</para>
+<para>
+All of the information returned by

+<constant>rrsetinfo</constant>
+and
+<constant>rdatainfo</constant>
+structures,
+and the canonical host name strings pointed to by the
+<constant>rrsetinfo</constant>structure.
+
+Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures created by
+a successful call to
+<function>lwres_getrrsetbyname()</function>
+is released by
+<function>lwres_freerrset()</function>.
+
