When the query is complete or has failed, the ares -library will invoke \fIcallback\fP. Completion or failure of the query may -happen immediately, or may happen during a later call to -\fIares_process(3)\fP, \fIares_destroy(3)\fP or \fIares_cancel(3)\fP. -.PP -The callback argument -.I arg -is copied from the -.B ares_gethostbyaddr -argument -.IR arg . -The callback argument -.I status -indicates whether the query succeeded and, if not, how it failed. It -may have any of the following values: -.TP 19 -.B ARES_SUCCESS -The host lookup completed successfully. -.TP 19 -.B ARES_ENOTIMP -The ares library does not know how to look up addresses of type -.IR family . -.TP 19 -.B ARES_ENOTFOUND -The address -.I addr -was not found. -.TP 19 -.B ARES_ENOMEM -Memory was exhausted. -.TP 19 -.B ARES_EDESTRUCTION -The name service channel -.I channel -is being destroyed; the query will not be completed. -.PP -The callback argument -.I timeouts -reports how many times a query timed out during the execution of the -given request. -.PP -On successful completion of the query, the callback argument -.I hostent -points to a -.B struct hostent -containing the name of the host returned by the query. The callback -need not and should not attempt to free the memory pointed to by -.IR hostent ; -the ares library will free it when the callback returns. If the query -did not complete successfully, -.I hostent -will be -.BR NULL . -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR ares_process (3), -.BR ares_gethostbyname (3) -.SH AUTHOR -Greg Hudson, MIT Information Systems -.br -Copyright 1998 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
