.SH DESCRIPTION

|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I ares_free_hostent
|
||
|
|
function frees a
|
||
|
|
.B struct hostent
|
||
|
|
allocated by one of the functions
|
||
|
|

||

or
|

|
||
|
|
.BR ares_parse_ptr_reply (3)
|
||
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
||
|
|
It is not necessary (and is not correct) to free the host structure
|
||
|
|
passed to the callback functions for
|
||
|
|
.I ares_gethostbyname
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.IR ares_gethostbyaddr .
|
||
|
|
The ares library will automatically free such host structures when the
|
||
|
|
callback returns.
