ARES_DESTROY(3)       DragonFly Library Functions Manual       ARES_DESTROY(3)

NAME
       ares_destroy - Destroy a resolver channel

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ares.h>

       void ares_destroy(ares_channel channel)

DESCRIPTION
       The ares_destroy function destroys the name service channel identified
       by channel, freeing all memory and closing all sockets used by the
       channel.  ares_destroy invokes the callbacks for each pending query on
       the channel, passing a status of ARES_EDESTRUCTION.  These calls give
       the callbacks a chance to clean up any state which might have been
       stored in their arguments. A callback must not add new requests to a
       channel being destroyed.
