man ares_free_hostent (Fonctions bibliothèques) - Free host structure allocated by ares functions

NAME

ares_free_hostent - Free host structure allocated by ares functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <ares.h>

void ares_free_hostent(struct hostent *host)

DESCRIPTION

The ares_free_hostent function frees a struct hostent allocated by one of the functions ares_parse_a_reply or ares_parse_ptr_reply.

SEE ALSO

NOTES

It is not necessary (and is not correct) to free the host structure passed to the callback functions for ares_gethostbyname or ares_gethostbyaddr. The ares library will automatically free such host structures when the callback returns.
