specific sockets and thus avoiding select() and associated functions/macros. This function will be used by upcoming libcurl releases for this very reason. It also made me export the ares_socket_t type in the public ares.h header file, since ares_process_fd() uses that type for two of the arguments.

.TH ARES_PROCESS 3 "25 July 1998"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ares_process \- Process events for name resolution
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <ares.h>
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B void ares_process(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, fd_set *\fIread_fds\fP,
|
|
.B fd_set *\fIwrite_fds\fP)
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B void ares_process_fd(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
|
|
.B ares_socket_t \fIread_fd\fP,
|
|
.B ares_socket_t \fIwrite_fd\fP)
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fBares_process(3)\fP function handles input/output events and timeouts
|
|
associated with queries pending on the name service channel identified by
|
|
.IR channel .
|
|
The file descriptor sets pointed to by \fIread_fds\fP and \fIwrite_fds\fP
|
|
should have file descriptors set in them according to whether the file
|
|
descriptors specified by \fIares_fds(3)\fP are ready for reading and writing.
|
|
(The easiest way to determine this information is to invoke
|
|
.B select
|
|
with a timeout no greater than the timeout given by \fIares_timeout(3)\fP ).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_process
|
|
function will invoke callbacks for pending queries if they complete
|
|
successfully or fail.
|
|
|
|
\fBares_process_fd(3)\fP works the same way but acts and operates only on the
|
|
specific file descriptors (sockets) you pass in to the function. Use
|
|
ARES_SOCKET_BAD for "no action". This function is of course provided to allow
|
|
users of c-ares to void select() in their applications and within c-ares.
|
|
.SS EXAMPLE
|
|
The following code fragment waits for all pending queries on a channel
|
|
to complete:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
int nfds, count;
|
|
fd_set readers, writers;
|
|
struct timeval tv, *tvp;
|
|
|
|
while (1)
|
|
{
|
|
FD_ZERO(&readers);
|
|
FD_ZERO(&writers);
|
|
nfds = ares_fds(channel, &readers, &writers);
|
|
if (nfds == 0)
|
|
break;
|
|
tvp = ares_timeout(channel, NULL, &tv);
|
|
count = select(nfds, &readers, &writers, NULL, tvp);
|
|
ares_process(channel, &readers, &writers);
|
|
}
