SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>

message_ptr
Represents a pointer into the byte stream.

DESCRIPTION

The putshort() function puts short byte quantities into the byte stream or arbitrary byte boundaries. 

The putshort() 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 structure definition. 

FILES

/etc/resolv.conf
Lists the name server and domain name.
