DESCRIPTION
These routines are used for making, sending, and interpreting query and
reply messages with Internet domain name servers.
Global configuration and state information that is used by the resolver
routines is kept in the structure _res. Most of the values have reason-
able defaults and can be ignored. Options stored in _res.options are
defined in < resolv.h> and are as follows. Options are stored as a simple
bit mask containing the bitwise OR of the options enabled.
RES_INIT True if the initial name server address and default domain
name are initialized (i.e., res_init() has been called).
RES_DEBUG Print debugging messages.
RES_AAONLY Accept authoritative answers only. With this option,
res_send() should continue until it finds an authoritative
answer or finds an error. Currently this is not imple-
mented.
RES_USEVC Use TCP connections for queries instead of UDP datagrams.
RES_STAYOPEN Used with RES_USEVC to keep the TCP connection open
between queries. This is useful only in programs that
regularly do many queries. UDP should be the normal mode
used.
RES_IGNTC Unused currently (ignore truncation errors, i.e., don’t
retry with TCP).
RES_RECURSE Set the recursion-desired bit in queries. This is the
default. (res_send() does not do iterative queries and
expects the name server to handle recursion.)
RES_DEFNAMES If set, res_search() will append the default domain name
