     51  *
     52  * Welcome, gentle reader
     53  *
     54  * Async DNS lookups are really a whole lot harder than they should be,
     55  * mostly stemming from the fact that the libc resolver has never been
     56  * very good at them. Before you use this library you should see if libc
     57  * can do the job for you with the modern async call getaddrinfo_a
     58  * (see http://www.imperialviolet.org/page25.html#e498). Otherwise,
     59  * please continue.
     60  *
     61  * This code is based on libevent and you must call event_init before
     62  * any of the APIs in this file. You must also seed the OpenSSL random
     63  * source if you are using OpenSSL for ids (see below).
     64  *
     65  * This library is designed to be included and shipped with your source
     66  * code. You statically link with it. You should also test for the
     67  * existence of strtok_r and define HAVE_STRTOK_R if you have it.
     68  *
     69  * The DNS protocol requires a good source of id numbers and these
     70  * numbers should be unpredictable for spoofing reasons. There are
     71  * three methods for generating them here and you must define exactly
     72  * one of them. In increasing order of preference:
     73  *
     74  * DNS_USE_GETTIMEOFDAY_FOR_ID:
     75  *   Using the bottom 16 bits of the usec result from gettimeofday. This
     76  *   is a pretty poor solution but should work anywhere.
     77  * DNS_USE_CPU_CLOCK_FOR_ID:
     78  *   Using the bottom 16 bits of the nsec result from the CPU's time
     79  *   counter. This is better, but may not work everywhere. Requires
     80  *   POSIX realtime support and you'll need to link against -lrt on
     81  *   glibc systems at least.
     82  * DNS_USE_OPENSSL_FOR_ID:
     83  *   Uses the OpenSSL RAND_bytes call to generate the data. You must
     84  *   have seeded the pool before making any calls to this library.
     85  *
     86  * The library keeps track of the state of nameservers and will avoid
     87  * them when they go down. Otherwise it will round robin between them.
     88  *
     89  * Quick start guide:
     90  *   #include "evdns.h"
     91  *   void callback(int result, char type, int count, int ttl,
     92  *		 void *addresses, void *arg);
     93  *   evdns_resolv_conf_parse(DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, "/etc/resolv.conf");
     94  *   evdns_resolve("www.hostname.com", 0, callback, NULL);
     95  *
     96  * When the lookup is complete the callback function is called. The
     97  * first argument will be one of the DNS_ERR_* defines in evdns.h.
     98  * Hopefully it will be DNS_ERR_NONE, in which case type will be
     99  * DNS_IPv4_A, count will be the number of IP addresses, ttl is the time
    100  * which the data can be cached for (in seconds), addresses will point
    101  * to an array of uint32_t's and arg will be whatever you passed to
    102  * evdns_resolve.
    103  *
    104  * Searching:
    105  *
    106  * In order for this library to be a good replacement for glibc's resolver it
    107  * supports searching. This involves setting a list of default domains, in
    108  * which names will be queried for. The number of dots in the query name
    109  * determines the order in which this list is used.
    110  *
    111  * Searching appears to be a single lookup from the point of view of the API,
    112  * although many DNS queries may be generated from a single call to
    113  * evdns_resolve. Searching can also drastically slow down the resolution
    114  * of names.
    115  *
    116  * To disable searching:
    117  *   1. Never set it up. If you never call evdns_resolv_conf_parse or
    118  *   evdns_search_add then no searching will occur.
    119  *
    120  *   2. If you do call evdns_resolv_conf_parse then don't pass
    121  *   DNS_OPTION_SEARCH (or DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, which implies it).
    122  *
    123  *   3. When calling evdns_resolve, pass the DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH flag.
    124  *
    125  * The order of searches depends on the number of dots in the name. If the
    126  * number is greater than the ndots setting then the names is first tried
    127  * globally. Otherwise each search domain is appended in turn.
    128  *
    129  * The ndots setting can either be set from a resolv.conf, or by calling
    130  * evdns_search_ndots_set.
    131  *
    132  * For example, with ndots set to 1 (the default) and a search domain list of
    133  * ["myhome.net"]:
    134  *  Query: www
    135  *  Order: www.myhome.net, www.
    136  *
    137  *  Query: www.abc
    138  *  Order: www.abc., www.abc.myhome.net
    139  *
    140  * Internals:
    141  *
    142  * Requests are kept in two queues. The first is the inflight queue. In
    143  * this queue requests have an allocated transaction id and nameserver.
    144  * They will soon be transmitted if they haven't already been.
    145  *
    146  * The second is the waiting queue. The size of the inflight ring is
    147  * limited and all other requests wait in waiting queue for space. This
    148  * bounds the number of concurrent requests so that we don't flood the
    149  * nameserver. Several algorithms require a full walk of the inflight
    150  * queue and so bounding its size keeps thing going nicely under huge
    151  * (many thousands of requests) loads.
    152  *
    153  * If a nameserver loses too many requests it is considered down and we
    154  * try not to use it. After a while we send a probe to that nameserver
    155  * (a lookup for google.com) and, if it replies, we consider it working
    156  * again. If the nameserver fails a probe we wait longer to try again
    157  * with the next probe.
