Allow explicit configuration of the channel's sortlist, by specifying a string in the same format as the equivalent /etc/resolv.conf option. This allows library users to perform the same configuration that is available via /etc/resolv.conf, but without needing to change that file.pull/34/head

.SH DESCRIPTION |

The \fBares_set_sortlist(3)\fP function initializes an address sortlist configuration |

||||
sortlist. The provided |

"130.155.160.0/255.255.240.0 130.155.0.0". |
