It is intended for +applications which need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or need to +perform multiple DNS queries in parallel. The primary examples of such +applications are servers which communicate with multiple clients and programs +with graphical user interfaces. + +The full source code is available in the ['c-ares' release archives](https://c-ares.haxx.se/download/), +and in a git repository: http://github.com/c-ares/c-ares. See the +[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) file for build information. + +If you find bugs, correct flaws, have questions or have comments in general in +regard to c-ares (or by all means the original ares too), get in touch with us +on the c-ares mailing list: http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/c-ares + +c-ares is of course distributed under the same MIT-style license as the +original ares. + +You'll find all c-ares details and news here: + https://c-ares.haxx.se/ + + +Notes for c-ares hackers +------------------------ + +* The distributed `ares_build.h` file is only intended to be used on systems + which can not run the also distributed configure script. + +* The distributed `ares_build.h` file is generated as a copy of `ares_build.h.dist` + when the c-ares source code distribution archive file is originally created. + +* If you check out from git on a non-configure platform, you must run the + appropriate `buildconf*` script to set up `ares_build.h` and other local files + before being able to compile the library. + +* On systems capable of running the `configure` script, the `configure` process + will overwrite the distributed `ares_build.h` file with one that is suitable + and specific to the library being configured and built, this new file is + generated from the `ares_build.h.in` template file. + +* If you intend to distribute an already compiled c-ares library you **MUST** + also distribute along with it the generated `ares_build.h` which has been + used to compile it. Otherwise the library will be of no use for the users of + the library that you have built. It is **your** responsibility to provide this + file. No one at the c-ares project can know how you have built the library. + +* File `ares_build.h` includes platform and configuration dependent info, + and must not be modified by anyone. Configure script generates it for you. + +* We cannot assume anything else but very basic compiler features being + present. While c-ares requires an ANSI C compiler to build, some of the + earlier ANSI compilers clearly can't deal with some preprocessor operators. + +* Newlines must remain unix-style for older compilers' sake. + +* Comments must be written in the old-style /* unnested C-fashion */ + +* Try to keep line lengths below 80 columns. |
