INTERFACES

The shared object libresolv.so.2 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.

__dn_skipname __fp_query
__hostalias __p_cdname
__p_class __p_query
__p_time __p_type
__putlong _getlong
_getshort _res
dn_comp dn_expand
fp_resstat h_errno
herror hstrerror
res_hostalias res_init
res_mkquery res_nclose
res_ninit res_nmkquery
res_nquery res_nquerydomain
res_nsearch res_nsend
res_nsendsigned res_query
res_querydomain res_search
res_send res_update

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.
