|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_init \- Initialize a resolver channel |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
#include <ares.h> |
|
|
|
int ares_init(ares_channel *\fIchannelptr\fP) |
|
.fi |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
The \fBares_init(3)\fP function initializes a communications channel for name |
|
service lookups. If it returns successfully, \fBares_init(3)\fP will set the |
|
variable pointed to by \fIchannelptr\fP to a handle used to identify the name |
|
service channel. The caller should invoke \fIares_destroy(3)\fP on the handle |
|
when the channel is no longer needed. |
|
|
|
The \fIares_init_options(3)\fP function is provide to offer more init |
|
alternatives. |
|
.SH RETURN VALUES |
|
\fIares_init(3)\fP can return any of the following values: |
|
.TP 14 |
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS |
|
Initialization succeeded. |
|
.TP 14 |
|
.B ARES_EFILE |
|
A configuration file could not be read. |
|
.TP 14 |
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM |
|

|
.TP 14 |
|
.B ARES_ENOTINITIALIZED |
|
c-ares library initialization not yet performed. |
|
.SH NOTES |
|
When initializing from |
|
.B /etc/resolv.conf, |
|
.BR ares_init (3) |
|
reads the |
|
.I domain |
|
and |
|
.I search |
|
directives to allow lookups of short names relative to the domains |
|
specified. The |
|
.I domain |
|
and |
|
.I search |
|
directives override one another. If more that one instance of either |
|
.I domain |
|
or |
|
.I search |
|
directives is specified, the last occurrence wins. For more information, |
|
please see the |
|
.BR resolv.conf (5) |
|
manual page. |
