The \fBares_timeout(3)\fP function determines the maximum time for which the
caller should wait before invoking \fIares_process(3)\fP to process timeouts.
The parameter \fImaxtv\fP specifies a existing maximum timeout, or \fBNULL\fP
if the caller does not wish to apply a maximum timeout. The parameter
.I tv
must point to a writable buffer of type
.BR "struct timeval" .
It is valid for
.I maxtv
and
.I tv
to have the same value.
.PP
If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum
timeout,
.B ares_timeout
returns the value of
.IR maxtv;
otherwise
.B ares_timeout
stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer pointed to by
.I tv
and returns the value of
.IR tv .
\fItv\fP must point to a writable buffer of type \fBstruct timeval\fP It is
valid for \fImaxtv\fP and \fItv\fP to have the same value.
If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum timeout,
\fBares_timeout(3)\fP returns the value of \fImaxtv\fP; otherwise
\fBares_timeout(3)\fP stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer
pointed to by \fItv\fP and returns the value of \fItv\fP.

The \fBares_version(3)\fP function gets the library version as a string and
optionally as an integer stored in the \fIversion\fP argument. If you pass a
NULL, no integer is attempted to be returned.
The integer is built up as 24bit number, with 8 separate bits used for major
number, minor number and patch number. This makes a version string such as
1.2.3 will be returned as the hexadecimal number 0x010203 (decimal 66051).

This function is not compatible with ares.
