ARES_DESTROY 3 "7 December 2004"
NAME
ares_destroy - Destroy a resolver channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <ares.h> void ares_destroy(ares_channel_t *channel)
DESCRIPTION
The ares_destroy(3) function destroys the name service channel
identified by channel, freeing all memory and closing all sockets used
by the channel.
ares_destroy(3) 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.
