+.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.BR getaddrinfo_a () +function performs the same task as +.BR getaddrinfo (3), +but allows multiple name look-ups to be performed asynchronously, +with optional notification on completion of look-up operations. +.P +The +.I mode +argument has one of the following values: +.TP +.B GAI_WAIT +Perform the look-ups synchronously. +The call blocks until the look-ups have completed. +.TP +.B GAI_NOWAIT +Perform the look-ups asynchronously. +The call returns immediately, +and the requests are resolved in the background. +See the discussion of the +.I sevp +argument below. +.P +The array +.I list +specifies the look-up requests to process. +The +.I nitems +argument specifies the number of elements in +.IR list . +The requested look-up operations are started in parallel. +NULL elements in +.I list +are ignored. +Each request is described by a +.I gaicb +structure, defined as follows: +.P +.in +4n +.EX +struct gaicb { + const char *ar_name; + const char *ar_service; + const struct addrinfo *ar_request; + struct addrinfo *ar_result; +}; +.EE +.in +.P +The elements of this structure correspond to the arguments of +.BR getaddrinfo (3). +Thus, +.I ar_name +corresponds to the +.I node +argument and +.I ar_service +to the +.I service +argument, identifying an Internet host and a service. +The +.I ar_request +element corresponds to the +.I hints +argument, specifying the criteria for selecting +the returned socket address structures. +Finally, +.I ar_result +corresponds to the +.I res +argument; you do not need to initialize this element, +it will be automatically set when the request +is resolved. +The +.I addrinfo +structure referenced by the last two elements is described in +.BR getaddrinfo (3). +.P +When +.I mode +is specified as +.BR GAI_NOWAIT , +notifications about resolved requests +can be obtained by employing the +.I sigevent +structure pointed to by the +.I sevp +argument. +For the definition and general details of this structure, see +.BR sigevent (3type). +The +.I sevp\->sigev_notify +field can have the following values: +.TP +.B SIGEV_NONE +Don't provide any notification. +.TP +.B SIGEV_SIGNAL +When a look-up completes, generate the signal +.I sigev_signo +for the process. +See +.BR sigevent (3type) +for general details. +The +.I si_code +field of the +.I siginfo_t +structure will be set to +.BR SI_ASYNCNL . +.\" si_pid and si_uid are also set, to the values of the calling process, +.\" which doesn't provide useful information, so we'll skip mentioning it. +.TP +.B SIGEV_THREAD +When a look-up completes, invoke +.I sigev_notify_function +as if it were the start function of a new thread. +See +.BR sigevent (3type) +for details. +.P +For +.B SIGEV_SIGNAL +and +.BR SIGEV_THREAD , +it may be useful to point +.I sevp\->sigev_value.sival_ptr +to +.IR list . +.P +The +.BR gai_suspend () +function suspends execution of the calling thread, +waiting for the completion of one or more requests in the array +.IR list . +The +.I nitems +argument specifies the size of the array +.IR list . +The call blocks until one of the following occurs: +.IP \[bu] 3 +One or more of the operations in +.I list +completes. +.IP \[bu] +The call is interrupted by a signal that is caught. +.IP \[bu] +The time interval specified in +.I timeout +elapses. +This argument specifies a timeout in seconds plus nanoseconds (see +.BR nanosleep (2) +for details of the +.I timespec +structure). +If +.I timeout +is NULL, then the call blocks indefinitely +(until one of the events above occurs). +.P +No explicit indication of which request was completed is given; +you must determine which request(s) have completed by iterating with +.BR gai_error () +over the list of requests. +.P +The +.BR gai_error () +function returns the status of the request +.IR req : +either +.B EAI_INPROGRESS +if the request was not completed yet, +0 if it was handled successfully, +or an error code if the request could not be resolved. +.P +The +.BR gai_cancel () +function cancels the request +.IR req . +If the request has been canceled successfully, +the error status of the request will be set to +.B EAI_CANCELED +and normal asynchronous notification will be performed. +The request cannot be canceled if it is currently being processed; +in that case, it will be handled as if +.BR gai_cancel () +has never been called. +If +.I req +is NULL, an attempt is made to cancel all outstanding requests +that the process has made. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The +.BR getaddrinfo_a () +function returns 0 if all of the requests have been enqueued successfully, +or one of the following nonzero error codes: +.TP +.B EAI_AGAIN +The resources necessary to enqueue the look-up requests were not available. +The application may check the error status of each +request to determine which ones failed. +.TP +.B EAI_MEMORY +Out of memory. +.TP +.B EAI_SYSTEM +.I mode +is invalid. +.P +The +.BR gai_suspend () +function returns 0 if at least one of the listed requests has been completed. +Otherwise, it returns one of the following nonzero error codes: +.TP +.B EAI_AGAIN +The given timeout expired before any of the requests could be completed. +.TP +.B EAI_ALLDONE +There were no actual requests given to the function. +.TP +.B EAI_INTR +A signal has interrupted the function. +Note that this interruption might have been +caused by signal notification of some completed look-up request. +.P +The +.BR gai_error () +function can return +.B EAI_INPROGRESS +for an unfinished look-up request, +0 for a successfully completed look-up +(as described above), one of the error codes that could be returned by +.BR getaddrinfo (3), +or the error code +.B EAI_CANCELED +if the request has been canceled explicitly before it could be finished. +.P +The +.BR gai_cancel () +function can return one of these values: +.TP +.B EAI_CANCELED +The request has been canceled successfully. +.TP +.B EAI_NOTCANCELED +The request has not been canceled. +.TP +.B EAI_ALLDONE +The request has already completed. +.P +The +.BR gai_strerror (3) +function translates these error codes to a human readable string, +suitable for error reporting. +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox;
