+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBares_cancel\fP function cancels all lookups/requests made on the the
+name service channel identified by \fIchannel\fP.  \fBares_cancel\fP invokes
+the callbacks for each pending query on the channel, passing a status of
+.BR ARES_ETIMEOUT .
+These calls give the callbacks a chance to clean up any state which
+might have been stored in their arguments.
