NAME
ares_free_hostent - Free host structure allocated by ares functions
SYNOPSIS
void ares_free_hostent(struct hostent *host)
DESCRIPTION
The
ares_free_hostent
function frees a
struct hostent
allocated by one of the functions
ares_parse_a_reply
or
R ares_parse_ptr_reply .
SEE ALSO
NOTES
It is not necessary (and is not correct) to free the host structure
passed to the callback functions for
ares_gethostbyname
or
R ares_gethostbyaddr .
The ares library will automatically free such host structures when the
callback returns.
