It +requires that your main application is built on top of libevent. Libdnsres' API +essentially mirrors the traditional gethostbyname and getaddrinfo interfaces. +All return values have been replaced by callbacks instead. + +The code borrows heavily from the BSD resolver library. In fact, it is an +extremely ugly hack to make the BSD resolver library non-blocking and +thread-safe without changing the API too much. + +WWW: http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libdnsres/ |
