|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_send
|
|
function initiates a DNS query on the name service channel identified
|
|
by
|
|
.IR channel .
|
|
The parameters
|
|
.I qbuf
|
|
and
|
|
.I qlen
|
|
give the DNS query, which should already have been formatted according
|
|
to the DNS protocol. 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_ECANCELLED
|
|
The query was cancelled.
|
|
.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.
