This is C-ARES, an asynchronous resolver library. It is intended for applications that need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or need to perform multiple DNS queries in parallel. The primary examples of such applications are servers that communicate with multiple clients and programs with graphical user interfaces. The full source code is available in the 'C-ARES' release archives.

Features

  • The distributed ares_build.h file is only intended to be used on systems which can not run the also distributed configure script
  • The distributed ares_build.h file is generated as a copy of ares_build.h.dist when the c-ares source code distribution archive file is originally created
  • If you check out from git on a non-configure platform, you must run the appropriate buildconf* script to set up ares_build.h and other local files before being able to compile the library
  • On systems capable of running the configure script, the configure process will overwrite the distributed ares_build.h file with one that is suitable and specific to the library being configured and built, this new file is generated from the ares_build.h.in template file
  • If you intend to distribute an already compiled c-ares library you MUST also distribute along with it the generated ares_build.h which has been used to compile it
  • File ares_build.h includes platform and configuration dependent info, and must not be modified by anyone
  • We cannot assume anything else but very basic compiler features being present
  • Newlines must remain unix-style for older compilers' sake
