/*
 * curl_hostip.c explained
 * =======================
 *
 * The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the curl_host*.c
 * source file are these:
 *
 * CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use
 * that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to
 * take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4
 * defined.
 *
 * CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for
 * asynchronous name resolves. This can be Windows or *nix.
 *
 * CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
 * Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
 * supported API will be the same as for ares-builds.
 *
 * If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If
 * libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is
 * defined.
 *
 * The curl_host*.c sources files are split up like this:
 *
 * curl_hostip.c   - method-independent resolver and utility functions
 * curl_hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
 * curl_hostsyn.c  - functions for synchronous name resolves
 * curl_hostip4.c  - ipv4-specific functions
 * curl_hostip6.c  - ipv6-specific functions
 *
 * The two asynchronous name resolver backends are implemented in:
 * curl_asyn_ares.c   - functions for ares-using name resolves
 * curl_asyn_thread.c - functions for threaded name resolves

 * The curl_hostip.h is the united header file for all this. It defines the
 * CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and curl_setup.h defines.
