| 17 | .SH NAME |
| 18 | ares_destroy \- Destroy a resolver channel |
| 19 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 20 | .nf |
| 21 | .B #include <ares.h> |
| 22 | .PP |
| 23 | .B void ares_destroy(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP) |
| 24 | .fi |
| 25 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 26 | The \fBares_destroy(3)\fP function destroys the name service channel |
| 27 | identified by \fIchannel\fP, freeing all memory and closing all sockets used |
| 28 | by the channel. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | \fBares_destroy(3)\fP invokes the callbacks for each pending query on the |
| 31 | channel, passing a status of \IARES_EDESTRUCTION\fP. These calls give the |
| 32 | callbacks a chance to clean up any state which might have been stored in their |
| 33 | arguments. A callback must not add new requests to a channel being destroyed. |
