If there was more than one previous call to +\fIares_library_init(3)\fP, this function uninitializes the c-ares +library only if it is the call matching the call to +\fIares_library_init(3)\fP which initialized the library +(usually the very first call to \fIares_library_init(3)\fP). +Other calls to \fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP have no effect other than +decrementing an internal counter. +.PP +This function must be called when the program using c-ares will +no longer need any c-ares function. Once the program has called +\fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP sufficiently often such that the +library is uninitialised, it shall not make any further call to any +c-ares function. +.PP +This function does not cancel any pending c-ares lookups or requests +previously done. Program must use \fIares_cancel(3)\fP for this purpose. +.PP +.B This function is not thread safe. +You have to call it once the program is about to terminate, but this call must +be done once the program has terminated every single thread that it could have +initiated. This is required to avoid potential race conditions in library +deinitialization, and also due to the fact that \fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP +might call functions from other libraries that are thread unsafe, and could +conflict with any other thread that is already using these other libraries. +.PP +Win32/64 application DLLs shall not call \fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP from +the DllMain function. Doing so will produce deadlocks and other problems. +.SH AVAILABILITY +This function was first introduced in c-ares version 1.7.0 along with the +definition of preprocessor symbol \fICARES_HAVE_ARES_LIBRARY_CLEANUP\fP as an +indication of the availability of this function. Reference counting in +\fIares_library_init()\fP and \fIares_library_cleanup()\fP, which requires +calls to the former function to match calls to the latter, is present since +c-ares version 1.10.0. +Earlier versions would deinitialize the library on the first call +to \fIares_library_cleanup()\fP. +.PP +Since the introduction of this function, it is absolutely mandatory to call it +for any Win32/64 program using c-ares. +.PP +Non-Win32/64 systems can still use c-ares version 1.7.0 without calling +\fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP due to the fact that \fIcurrently\fP it is nearly +a do-nothing function on non-Win32/64 platforms. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ares_library_init(3), +.BR ares_cancel(3) +.SH AUTHOR +Yang Tse +.PP +Copyright 1998 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. +.br +Copyright (C) 2004-2009 by Daniel Stenberg. |
