|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
#include <ares.h>
|
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fBares_cancel(3)\fP function cancels all lookups/requests made on the the
|
|
|
|
name service channel identified by \fIchannel\fP. \fBares_cancel(3)\fP
|
|
|
|
invokes the callbacks for each pending query on the channel, passing a status
|
|
|
|
of
|
|
|
|
.BR ARES_ECANCELLED .
|
|
|
|
These calls give the callbacks a chance to clean up any state which might have
|
|
|
|
been stored in their arguments. If such a callback invocation adds a new
|
|
|
|
request to the channel, that request will \fInot\fP be cancelled by the
|
|
|
|
current invocation of \fBares_cancel(3)\fP.
