Functions in this library provide for creating, sending, and interpreting packets to the Internet domain name servers.

Programs are expected to use the aliases defined in <resolv.h> rather than calling the "__" prefixed procedures, as indicated in the following table. Use of the routines in the first column is discouraged.
