-adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with
-the existing interfaces, gethostbyname et al and libresolv, it has the
-following features:
-
-* It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want
- to translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc.
-* It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many
- queries can be handled simultaneously.
-
-Technical note: adns requires a real nameserver like BIND or
-Dents running on the same system or a nearby one, which must be
-willing to provide `recursive service'. I.e., adns is a `stub
-resolver'.
