| libasyncns is a C library for Linux/Unix for executing name service queries | |||||
| asynchronously. It is an asynchronous wrapper around getaddrinfo(3), | |||||
| getnameinfo(3), res_query(3) and res_search(3) from libc and libresolv. | |||||
| In contrast to GNU's asynchronous name resolving API getaddrinfo_a(), | |||||
| libasyncns does not make use of UNIX signals for reporting completion of name | |||||
| queries. Instead, the API exports a standard UNIX file descriptor which may be | |||||
| integerated cleanly into custom main loops. | |||||
| In contrast to asynchronous DNS resolving libraries like libdenise, skadns, | |||||
| adns, libasyncns is just an asynchronous wrapper around the libc's synchronous | |||||
| getaddrinfo() API, which has the advantage of allowing name resolution using | |||||
| techniques like Multicast DNS, LDAP or NIS using standard libc NSS (Name | |||||
| Service Switch) modules. libasyncns is compatible with IPv6 if the underlying | |||||
| libc is. | |||||
| libasyncns is very tiny, consisting of just one header and one source file. It | |||||
| has no dependencies besides libc. | |||||
