37  * \file
38  *
39  * This file contains functions to resolve DNS queries and
40  * validate the answers. Synchonously and asynchronously.
41  *
42  * Several ways to use this interface from an application wishing
43  * to perform (validated) DNS lookups.
44  *
45  * All start with
46  *	ctx = ub_ctx_create();
47  *	err = ub_ctx_add_ta(ctx, "...");
48  *	err = ub_ctx_add_ta(ctx, "...");
49  *	... some lookups
50  *	... call ub_ctx_delete(ctx); when you want to stop.
51  *
52  * Application not threaded. Blocking.
53  *	int err = ub_resolve(ctx, "www.example.com", ...
54  *	if(err) fprintf(stderr, "lookup error: %s\n", ub_strerror(err));
55  *	... use the answer
56  *
57  * Application not threaded. Non-blocking ('asynchronous').
58  *      err = ub_resolve_async(ctx, "www.example.com", ... my_callback);
59  *	... application resumes processing ...
60  *	... and when either ub_poll(ctx) is true
61  *	... or when the file descriptor ub_fd(ctx) is readable,
62  *	... or whenever, the app calls ...
63  *	ub_process(ctx);
64  *	... if no result is ready, the app resumes processing above,
65  *	... or process() calls my_callback() with results.
66  *
67  *      ... if the application has nothing more to do, wait for answer
68  *      ub_wait(ctx);
69  *
70  * Application threaded. Blocking.
71  *	Blocking, same as above. The current thread does the work.
72  *	Multiple threads can use the *same context*, each does work and uses
73  *	shared cache data from the context.
74  *
75  * Application threaded. Non-blocking ('asynchronous').
76  *	... setup threaded-asynchronous config option
77  *	err = ub_ctx_async(ctx, 1);
78  *	... same as async for non-threaded
79  *	... the callbacks are called in the thread that calls process(ctx)
80  *
81  * Openssl needs to have locking in place, and the application must set
82  * it up, because a mere library cannot do this, use the calls
83  * CRYPTO_set_id_callback and CRYPTO_set_locking_callback.
84  *
85  * If no threading is compiled in, the above async example uses fork(2) to
86  * create a process to perform the work. The forked process exits when the
87  * calling process exits, or ctx_delete() is called.
88  * Otherwise, for asynchronous with threading, a worker thread is created.
89  *
90  * The blocking calls use shared ctx-cache when threaded. Thus
91  * ub_resolve() and ub_resolve_async() && ub_wait() are
92  * not the same. The first makes the current thread do the work, setting
93  * up buffers, etc, to perform the work (but using shared cache data).
94  * The second calls another worker thread (or process) to perform the work.
95  * And no buffers need to be set up, but a context-switch happens.
