.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B ares_parse_aaaa_reply
function parses the response to a query of type AAAA into a
-.BR "struct hostent" .
+.BR "struct hostent"
+and/or an array of
+.BR "struct addrttls" .
The parameters
.I abuf
and
.I alen
give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated
memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by
-.IR host .
+.IR host ,
+if host is nonnull.
It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure
using
.BR ares_free_hostent (3)
when it is no longer needed.
+.PP
+If
+.IR addrttls
+and
+.IR naddrttls
+are both nonnull,
+then up to *naddrttls
+.BR "struct addr6ttl"
+records are stored in the array pointed to by addrttls,
+and then *naddrttls is set to the number of records so stored.
+Note that the memory for these records is supplied by the caller.
