I'm trying to decode the rdata field returned in a resource record by the
ns_parserr() function. eg:

ns_parserr(&msg,ns_s_an,i,&r_rec);
rdata = ns_rr_rdata(r_rec);

However the ns_name_uncompress() function only seems to work with rdata in NS 
records and using it on other types either produces garbage or an error but the
rdata pointer still cannot be printed out directly. 

Does anyone know how to translate it for A and MX records? I know I could use 
ns_sprintferr() and then parse the output string but thats a bit ugly. There 
must be an nicer way.

Thanks for any help.

(Yes, I have googled this with no luck)
