.TH ARES_PROCESS 3 "25 July 1998"
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
ares_process \- Process events for name resolution
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
#include <ares.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
void ares_process(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
|
|
|
|
fd_set *\fIread_fds\fP,
|
|
|
|
fd_set *\fIwrite_fds\fP)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
void ares_process_fd(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
|
|
|
|
ares_socket_t \fIread_fd\fP,
|
|
|
|
ares_socket_t \fIwrite_fd\fP)
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fBares_process(3)\fP function handles input/output events and timeouts
|
|
|
|
associated with queries pending on the name service channel identified by
|
|
|
|
.IR channel .
|
|
|
|
The file descriptor sets pointed to by \fIread_fds\fP and \fIwrite_fds\fP
|
|
|
|
should have file descriptors set in them according to whether the file
|
|
|
|
descriptors specified by \fIares_fds(3)\fP are ready for reading and writing.
|
|
|
|
(The easiest way to determine this information is to invoke \fBselect(3)\fP
|
|
|
|
with a timeout no greater than the timeout given by \fIares_timeout(3)\fP).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBares_process(3)\fP function will invoke callbacks for pending queries
|
|
|
|
if they complete successfully or fail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBares_process_fd(3)\fP works the same way but acts and operates only on the
|
|
|
|
specific file descriptors (sockets) you pass in to the function. Use
|
|
|
|
ARES_SOCKET_BAD for "no action". This function is provided to allow users of
|
2023-02-04 15:03:54 +08:00
|
|
|
c-ares to avoid \fIselect(3)\fP in their applications and within c-ares.
|
2020-11-16 14:47:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To only process possible timeout conditions without a socket event occurring,
|
|
|
|
one may pass NULL as the values for both \fIread_fds\fP and \fIwrite_fds\fP for
|
|
|
|
\fBares_process(3)\fP, or ARES_SOCKET_BAD for both \fIread_fd\fP and
|
|
|
|
\fIwrite_fd\fP for \fBares_process_fd(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
The following code fragment waits for all pending queries on a channel
|
|
|
|
to complete:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
int nfds, count;
|
|
|
|
fd_set readers, writers;
|
|
|
|
struct timeval tv, *tvp;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while (1) {
|
|
|
|
FD_ZERO(&readers);
|
|
|
|
FD_ZERO(&writers);
|
|
|
|
nfds = ares_fds(channel, &readers, &writers);
|
|
|
|
if (nfds == 0)
|
|
|
|
break;
|
|
|
|
tvp = ares_timeout(channel, NULL, &tv);
|
|
|
|
count = select(nfds, &readers, &writers, NULL, tvp);
|
|
|
|
ares_process(channel, &readers, &writers);
|
|
|
|
}
