.TH ARES_GETSOCK 3 "22 December 2005" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_getsock \- get file descriptors to wait on |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
.B #include <ares.h> |
|
.PP |
|
.B int ares_getsock(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, int *\fIsocks\fP, |
|
.B int \fInumsocks\fP); |
|
.fi |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
The |
|
.B ares_getsock |
|
function retrieves the set of file descriptors which the calling |
|
application should wait on for reading and/or writing for the |
|
processing of name service queries pending on the name service channel |
|
identified by |
|
.IR channel . |
|
File descriptors will be set in the integer array pointed to by |
|
\fIsocks\fP. |
|
\fInumsocks\fP is the size of the given array in number of ints. |
|
|
|
This function can only return information about up to 16 sockets. If more are |
|
in use (however unlikely that is), they are simply not reported back. |
|
.SH RETURN VALUES |
|
\fBares_getsock\fP returns a bitmask for what actions to wait for on the |
|
different sockets. The ares.h header file provides these convenience macros to |
|
extract the information appropriately: |
|
|
|
.nf |
|
#define ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM 16 /* ares_getsock() can return info about |
|
this many sockets */ |
|
#define ARES_GETSOCK_READABLE(bits,num) (bits & (1<< (num))) |
|
#define ARES_GETSOCK_WRITABLE(bits,num) (bits & (1 << ((num) + \ |
|
ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM))) |
|
.fi |
|
.SH NOTES |
|
This function was added in c-ares 1.3.1 |
