DESCRIPTION
       The getaddrinfo_a() function performs the same task as  getaddrinfo(3),
       but  allows multiple name look-ups to be performed asynchronously, with
       optional notification on completion of look-up operations.
       The mode argument has one of the following values:
       GAI_WAIT
              Perform the look-ups synchronously.  The call blocks  until  the
              look-ups have completed.
       GAI_NOWAIT
              Perform  the  look-ups asynchronously.  The call returns immedi-
              ately, and the requests are resolved in the background.  See the
              discussion of the sevp argument below.
       The  array  list specifies the look-up requests to process.  The nitems
       argument specifies the number of elements in list.  The requested look-
       up  operations  are  started  in  parallel.   NULL elements in list are
       ignored.  Each request is described by a gaicb  structure,  defined  as
       follows:
           struct gaicb {
               const char            *ar_name;
               const char            *ar_service;
               const struct addrinfo *ar_request;
               struct addrinfo       *ar_result;
           };
       The  elements  of  this structure correspond to the arguments of getad-
       drinfo(3).  Thus, ar_name corresponds to the node argument and  ar_ser-
       vice  to  the service argument, identifying an Internet host and a ser-
       vice.  The ar_request element corresponds to the hints argument, speci-
       fying  the  criteria  for  selecting the returned socket address struc-
       tures.  Finally, ar_result corresponds to the res argument; you do  not
       need  to initialize this element, it will be automatically set when the
       request is resolved.  The addrinfo structure referenced by the last two
       elements is described in getaddrinfo(3).
       When  mode  is  specified  as  GAI_NOWAIT, notifications about resolved
       requests can be obtained by employing the sigevent structure pointed to
       by  the  sevp argument.  For the definition and general details of this
       structure, see sigevent(7).  The sevp->sigev_notify field can have  the
       following values:
       SIGEV_NONE
              Don't provide any notification.
       SIGEV_SIGNAL
              When  a  look-up  completes, generate the signal sigev_signo for
              the process.  See sigevent(7) for general details.  The  si_code
              field of the siginfo_t structure will be set to SI_ASYNCNL.
       SIGEV_THREAD
              When  a look-up completes, invoke sigev_notify_function as if it
              were the start function of a new thread.   See  sigevent(7)  for
              details.
       For   SIGEV_SIGNAL   and  SIGEV_THREAD,  it  may  be  useful  to  point
       sevp->sigev_value.sival_ptr to list.
       The gai_suspend() function suspends execution of  the  calling  thread,
       waiting  for  the completion of one or more requests in the array list.
       The nitems argument specifies the size of the  array  list.   The  call
       blocks until one of the following occurs:
       *  One or more of the operations in list completes.
       *  The call is interrupted by a signal that is caught.
       *  The time interval specified in timeout elapses.  This argument spec-
          ifies a timeout in seconds plus nanoseconds  (see  nanosleep(2)  for
          details  of  the  timespec structure).  If timeout is NULL, then the
          call blocks indefinitely (until one of the events above occurs).
       No explicit indication of which request was  completed  is  given;  you
       must  determine  which  request(s)  have  completed  by  iterating with
       gai_error() over the list of requests.
       The gai_error() function returns the status of the request req:  either
       EAI_INPROGRESS  if  the request was not completed yet, 0 if it was han-
       dled successfully, or an  error  code  if  the  request  could  not  be
       resolved.
       The  gai_cancel() function cancels the request req.  If the request has
       been canceled successfully, the error status of the request will be set
       to  EAI_CANCELLED  and  normal  asynchronous  notification will be per-
       formed.  The request cannot be canceled if it is currently  being  pro-
       cessed;  in  that case, it will be handled as if gai_cancel() has never
       been called.  If req is NULL, an attempt is made  to  cancel  all  out-
       standing requests that the process has made.
RETURN VALUE
       The getaddrinfo_a() function returns 0 if all of the requests have been
       enqueued successfully, or one of the following nonzero error codes:
       EAI_AGAIN
              The resources necessary to enqueue the look-up requests were not
              available.   The  application may check the error status of each
              request to determine which ones failed.
       EAI_MEMORY
              Out of memory.
       EAI_SYSTEM
              mode is invalid.
       The gai_suspend() function returns 0 if at  least  one  of  the  listed
       requests  has been completed.  Otherwise, it returns one of the follow-
       ing nonzero error codes:
       EAI_AGAIN
              The given timeout expired before any of the  requests  could  be
              completed.
       EAI_ALLDONE
              There were no actual requests given to the function.
       EAI_INTR
              A signal has interrupted the function.  Note that this interrup-
              tion might have been caused by signal notification of some  com-
              pleted look-up request.
       The  gai_error()  function  can return EAI_INPROGRESS for an unfinished
       look-up request, 0 for a successfully completed look-up  (as  described
       above),  one  of  the  error  codes  that  could  be returned by getad-
       drinfo(3), or the error code EAI_CANCELLED if the request has been can-
       celed explicitly before it could be finished.
       The gai_cancel() function can return one of these values:
       EAI_CANCELLED
              The request has been canceled successfully.
       EAI_NOTCANCELLED
              The request has not been canceled.
       EAI_ALLDONE
              The request has already completed.
       The  gai_strerror(3)  function  translates these error codes to a human
       readable string, suitable for error reporting.
CONFORMING TO
       These functions are GNU extensions; they first  appeared  in  glibc  in
       version 2.2.3.
NOTES
       The  interface  of  getaddrinfo_a() was modeled after the lio_listio(3)
       interface.
EXAMPLE
       Two examples are provided:  a  simple  example  that  resolves  several
       requests  in parallel synchronously, and a complex example showing some
       of the asynchronous capabilities.
   Synchronous example
       The program below simply resolves several hostnames in parallel, giving
       a  speed-up  compared  to  resolving  the  hostnames sequentially using
       getaddrinfo(3).  The program might be used like this:
           $ ./a.out ftp.us.kernel.org enoent.linuxfoundation.org gnu.cz

           struct addrinfo *res;
           if (argc < 2) {
               fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s HOST...\n", argv[0]);
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }
           for (i = 0; i < argc - 1; i++) {

               ret = gai_error(reqs[i]);
               if (ret == 0) {
                   res = reqs[i]->ar_result;
                   ret = getnameinfo(res->ai_addr, res->ai_addrlen,

                       exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                   }
                   puts(host);
               } else {
                   puts(gai_strerror(ret));
               }
           }
           exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
   Asynchronous example
       This example shows a simple interactive getaddrinfo_a() front-end.  The
       notification facility is not demonstrated.
