.TH ARES_GET_SERVERS 3 "5 March 2010" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_get_servers \- Retrieve name servers from an initialized ares_channel |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
.B #include <ares.h> |
|
.PP |
|
.B int ares_get_servers(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, struct ares_addr_node **\fIservers\fP) |
|
.fi |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
The \fBares_get_servers(3)\fP function retrieves name servers configuration |
|
from the |
|
channel data identified by |
|
.IR channel , |
|
as a linked list of ares_addr_node structs storing a pointer to the first |
|
node at the address specified by |
|
.IR servers . |
|
|
|
Function caller may traverse the returned name server linked list, or may use |
|
it directly as suitable input for the \fBares_set_servers(3)\fP function, but |
|
shall not shrink or extend the list on its own. |
|
|
|
Each node of the name server linked list is stored in memory dynamically |
|
allocated and managed by c-ares. It is the caller's responsibility to free |
|
the resulting linked list, using \fBares_free_data(3)\fP , once the caller |
|
does not need it any longer. |
|
|
|
This function is capable of handling IPv4 and IPv6 name server |
|
addresses simultaneously, rendering \fBares_save_options(3)\fP with |
|
optmask \fBARES_OPT_SERVERS\fP functionally obsolete except for |
|
IPv4-only name server usage. |
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES |
|
.B ares_get_servers(3) |
|
may return any of the following values: |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS |
|
The name servers configuration was successfuly retrieved |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM |
|
The memory was exhausted |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_ENODATA |
|
The channel data identified by |
|
.IR channel |
|
was invalid. |
|

|
.BR ares_init_options (3), |
|

|
.SH AVAILABILITY |

ares_get_servers(3) was added in c-ares 1.7.1 |

|
Daniel Stenberg, Gregor Jasny, Phil Blundell and Yang Tse, December 2009 |
|
by Cedric Bail, February 2010 by Jakub Hrozek. On March 2010 Yang Tse |
