+.SH NAME
+ares_fds \- return file descriptors to select on
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <ares.h>
+
+int ares_fds(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
+             fd_set *\fIread_fds\fP,
+	     fd_set *\fIwrite_fds\fP)
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBares_fds(3)\fP function retrieves the set of file descriptors which the
+calling application should select on for reading and writing for the
+processing of name service queries pending on the name service channel
+identified by \fIchannel\fP.
+
+File descriptors will be set in the file descriptor sets pointed to by
+\fIread_fds\fP and \fIwrite_fds\fP as appropriate.  File descriptors already
+set in \fIread_fds\fP and \fIwrite_fds\fP will remain set; initialization of
+the file descriptor sets (using \fBFD_ZERO\fP) is the responsibility of the
+caller.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+\fBares_fds(3)\fP returns a value that is one greater than the number of the
+highest socket set in either \fIread_fds\fP or \fIwrite_fds\fP.  If no queries
+are active, \fBares_fds(3)\fP returns 0.
