message_ptrRepresents a pointer into the byte stream. 

DESCRIPTION

The putlong() function places long byte quantities into the byte stream or arbitrary byte boundaries. 

The putlong() function is one of a set of subroutines that form the resolver, a set of functions that resolve domain names.  Global information that is used by the resolver functions is kept in the _res data structure.  The  /include/resolv.h file contains the _res data structure definition.
