ares_free_hostent(3) Library Functions Manual ares_free_hostent(3)
NAME
ares_free_hostent - Free host structure allocated by ares functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <ares.h>
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(3), ares_parse_aaaa_reply(3), or
ares_parse_ptr_reply(3).
NOTES
It is not necessary (and is not correct) to free the host structure
passed to the callback functions for ares_gethostbyname(3) or
ares_gethostbyaddr(3). c-ares will automatically free such host
structures when the callback returns.
