Name

ares_destroy - Destroy a resolver channel

Synopsis

#include <ares.h>
 
void ares_destroy(ares_channel_t *channel)

Description

The ares_destroy function destroys the name service channel identified by channel, freeing all memory and closing all sockets used by the channel.

ares_destroy invokes the callbacks for each pending query on the channel, passing a status of ARES_EDESTRUCTION. These calls give the callbacks a chance to clean up any state which might have been stored in their arguments. A callback must not add new requests to a channel being destroyed.

There is no ability to make this function thread-safe. No additional calls using this channel may be made once this function is called.
