.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fBares_get_servers(3)\fP function retrieves name servers configuration
|
|
|
|
from the
|
|
|
|
channel data identified by
|
|
|
|
.IR channel ,
|
|
|
|
as a linked list of ares_addr_node structs storing a pointer to the first
|
|
|
|
node at the address specified by
|
|
|
|
.IR servers .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBares_get_servers_ports(3)\fP function also retrieves any per-server
|
|
|
|
port information that may have been previously configured, returning a linked
|
|
|
|
list of ares_addr_port structures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Function caller may traverse the returned name server linked list, or may use
|
|
|
|
it directly as suitable input for the \fBares_set_servers(3)\fP /
|
|
|
|
\fBares_set_servers_ports(3)\fP functions, but
|
|
|
|
shall not shrink or extend the list on its own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each node of the name server linked list is stored in memory dynamically
|
|
|
|
allocated and managed by c-ares. It is the caller's responsibility to free
|
|
|
|
the resulting linked list, using \fBares_free_data(3)\fP , once the caller
|
|
|
|
does not need it any longer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function is capable of handling IPv4 and IPv6 name server
|
|
|
|
addresses simultaneously, rendering \fBares_save_options(3)\fP with
|
|
|
|
optmask \fBARES_OPT_SERVERS\fP functionally obsolete except for
|
|
|
|
IPv4-only name server usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
This function may return any of the following values:
|
|
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS
|
|
|
|
The name servers configuration was successfully retrieved
|
|
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM
|
|
|
|
The memory was exhausted
|
|
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_ENODATA
|
|
|
|
The channel data identified by
|
|
|
|
.IR channel
|
|
|
|
was invalid.

.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
\fBares_get_servers(3)\fP was added in c-ares 1.7.1;
|
|
|
|
\fBares_get_servers_ports(3)\fP was added in c-ares 1.11.0.
|
|
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
As of c-ares 1.24, these functions are deprecated due to their lack of ability
|
|
|
|
to store the entire server configuration. Use \fBares_get_servers_csv(3)\fP.
