When the query is complete or has failed, the -ares library will invoke -.IR callback . -Completion or failure of the query may happen immediately, or may -happen during a later call to -.BR ares_process (3) -or -.BR ares_destroy (3). -.PP -The callback argument -.I arg -is copied from the -.B ares_send -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 query completed. -.TP 19 -.B ARES_EBADQUERY -The query buffer was poorly formed (was not long enough for a DNS -header or was too long for TCP transmission). -.TP 19 -.B ARES_ETIMEOUT -No name servers responded within the timeout period. -.TP 19 -.B ARES_ECONNREFUSED -No name servers could be contacted. -.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 -If the query completed, the callback argument -.I abuf -points to a result buffer of length -.IR alen . -If the query did not complete, -.I abuf -will be NULL and -.I alen -will be 0. -.PP -Unless the flag -.B ARES_FLAG_NOCHECKRESP -was set at channel initialization time, -.B ares_send -will normally ignore responses whose questions do not match the -questions in -.IR qbuf , -as well as responses with reply codes of -.BR SERVFAIL , -.BR NOTIMP , -and -.BR REFUSED . -Unlike other query functions in the ares library, however, -.B ares_send -does not inspect the header of the reply packet to determine the error -status, so a callback status of -.B ARES_SUCCESS -does not reflect as much about the response as for other query -functions. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR ares_process (3) -.SH AUTHOR -Greg Hudson, MIT Information Systems -.br -Copyright 1998 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
