|
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_query
|
|
function initiates a single-question DNS query on the name service
|
|
channel identified by
|
|
.IR channel .
|
|
The parameter
|
|
.I name
|
|
gives the query name as a NUL-terminated C string of period-separated
|
|
labels optionally ending with a period; periods and backslashes within
|
|
a label must be escaped with a backslash. The parameters
|
|
.I dnsclass
|
|
and
|
|
.I type
|
|
give the class and type of the query using the values defined in
|
|
.BR <arpa/nameser.h> .
|
|
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_query
|
|
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 successfully.
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_ENODATA
|
|
The query completed but contains no answers.
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_EFORMERR
|
|
The query completed but the server claims that the query was
|
|
malformatted.
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_ESERVFAIL
|
|
The query completed but the server claims to have experienced a
|
|
failure. (This code can only occur if the
|
|
.B ARES_FLAG_NOCHECKRESP
|
|
flag was specified at channel initialization time; otherwise, such
|
|
responses are ignored at the
|
|
.BR ares_send (3)
|
|
level.)
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_ENOTFOUND
|
|
The query completed but the queried-for domain name was not found.
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_ENOTIMP
|
|
The query completed but the server does not implement the operation
|
|
requested by the query. (This code can only occur if the
|
|
.B ARES_FLAG_NOCHECKRESP
|
|
flag was specified at channel initialization time; otherwise, such
|
|
responses are ignored at the
|
|
.BR ares_send (3)
|
|
level.)
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_EREFUSED
|
|
The query completed but the server refused the query. (This code can
|
|
only occur if the
|
|
.B ARES_FLAG_NOCHECKRESP
|
|
flag was specified at channel initialization time; otherwise, such
|
|
responses are ignored at the
|
|
.BR ares_send (3)
|
|
level.)
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
.B ARES_EBADNAME
|
|
The query name
|
|
.I name
|
|
could not be encoded as a domain name, either because it contained a
|
|
zero-length label or because it contained a label of more than 63
|
|
characters.
|
|
.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 (even if there was something wrong with it, as
|
|
indicated by some of the above error codes), 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.
