-.TH ARES_LIBRARY_INIT 3 "19 May 2009"
-.SH NAME
-ares_library_init \- c-ares library initialization
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <ares.h>
-.PP
-.B int ares_library_init(int \fIflags\fP)
-.PP
-.B cc file.c -lcares
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-The
-.B ares_library_init
-function performs initializations internally required by the c-ares
-library that must take place before any other function provided by
-c-ares can be used in a program.
-.PP
-This function must be called one time within the life of a program,
-before the program actually executes any other c-ares library function.
-Initializations done by this function remain effective until a
-call to \fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP is performed.
-.PP
-Successive calls to this function do nothing, only the first call done
-when c-ares is in an uninitialized state is actually effective.
-.PP
-The
-.I flags
-parameter is a bit pattern that tells c-ares exactly which features
-should be initialized, as described below. Set the desired bits by
-ORing the values together. In normal operation you should specify
-\fIARES_LIB_INIT_ALL\fP. Don't use any other value unless you are
-familiar with it and trying to control some internal c-ares feature.
-.PP
-.B This function is not thread safe.
-You have to call it once the program has started, but this call must be done
-before the program starts any other thread. This is required to avoid
-potential race conditions in library initialization, and also due to the fact
-that \fIares_library_init(3)\fP might call functions from other libraries that
-are thread unsafe, and could conflict with any other thread that is already
-using these other libraries.
-.PP
-Win32/64 application DLLs shall not call \fIares_library_init(3)\fP from the
-DllMain function. Doing so will produce deadlocks and other problems.
-.SH FLAGS
-.TP 5
-.B ARES_LIB_INIT_ALL
-Initialize everything possible. This sets all known bits.
-.TP
-.B ARES_LIB_INIT_WIN32
-Initialize Win32/64 specific libraries.
-.TP
-.B ARES_LIB_INIT_NONE
-Initialize nothing extra. This sets no bit.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-Upon successful completion, ares_library_init() will return 0.  Otherwise, a
-non-zero error number will be returned to indicate the error. Except for
-\fIares_strerror(3)\fP, you shall not call any other c-ares function upon
-\fIares_library_init(3)\fP failure.
-.SH AVAILABILITY
-This function was first introduced in c-ares version 1.7.0 along with the
-definition of preprocessor symbol \fICARES_HAVE_ARES_LIBRARY_INIT\fP as an
-indication of the availability of this function.
-.PP
-Since the introduction of this function it is absolutely mandatory to
-call it for any Win32/64 program using c-ares.
-.PP
-Non-Win32/64 systems can still use c-ares version 1.7.0 without calling
-\fIares_library_init(3)\fP due to the fact that \fIcurrently\fP it is nearly
-a do-nothing function on non-Win32/64 platforms at this point.
