.TH ARES_SET_SERVERS 3 "5 March 2010"

.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
|
ares_set_servers \- Initialize an ares_channel name servers configuration
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.nf

|
|
|
|
.B #include <ares.h>
|
|
|
|
|
.PP

.B int ares_set_servers(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, struct ares_addr_node *\fIservers\fP)

|
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBares_set_servers(3)\fP function initializes name servers configuration
|
|
|
|
|
for the channel data identified by
|
|
|
|
|
.IR channel ,
|
|
|
|
|
from a
|
|
|
|
|
.IR servers
|
|
|
|
|
pointer to a linked list of ares_addr_node structs holding name servers
|
|
|
|
|
address data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name server linked list pointer argument may be the result of a previous
|
|
|
|
|
call to \fBares_get_servers(3)\fP or a linked list of ares_addr_node structs
|
|
|
|
|
setup by other means.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function replaces any potentially previously configured name servers
|
|
|
|
|
with the ones given in the linked list. So, in order to configure a channel
|
|
|
|
|
with more than one name server all the desired ones must be specified in a
|
|
|
|
|
single list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBares_set_servers(3)\fP does not take ownership of the linked list argument.
|
|
|
|
|
The caller is responsible for freeing the linked list when no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function is capable of handling IPv4 and IPv6 name server
|
|
|
|
|
addresses simultaneously, rendering \fBares_init_options(3)\fP with
|
|
|
|
|
optmask \fBARES_OPT_SERVERS\fP functionally obsolete except for
|
|
|
|
|
IPv4-only name server usage.
