ARES_DUP(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is ARES_DUP(3) — the page for ares_dup - Duplicate a resolver channel. 🦋💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the exact spell, no cap:

#include <ares.h>

int ares_dup(ares_channel_t **dest, const ares_channel_t *source)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the ares_dup(3) function is out here doing the most: it duplicates an existing communications channel for name service lookups. ✨

If it returns successfully, ares_dup(3) will set the variable pointed to by dest to a handle used to identify the name service channel. That's your little VIP pass to the channel, and you're the main character. 👑

The caller should invoke ares_destroy(3) on the handle when the channel is no longer needed. Like, when you're done, clean up your mess, periodt. 🧹🫶
