ARES_SAVE_OPTIONS(3)	   Library Functions Manual	  ARES_SAVE_OPTIONS(3)

NAME
       ares_save_options - Save	configuration values obtained from initialized
       ares_channel

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<ares.h>

       int ares_save_options(const ares_channel_t *channel,
			     struct ares_options *options, int *optmask)

DESCRIPTION
       The  ares_save_options(3) function saves	the channel data identified by
       channel,	into the options struct	identified by options, and  saves  the
       mask  of	options	which are set to the integer pointer (passed by	refer-
       ence) identified	by optmask.

       The resultant options and optmask are then able to be  passed  directly
       to  ares_init_options.  When the	options	are no longer needed, ares_de-
       stroy_options should be called to free any associated memory.

RETURN VALUES
       ares_save_options(3) can	return any of the following values:

       ARES_SUCCESS   The channel data was successfully	stored

       ARES_ENOMEM    The memory was exhausted

       ARES_ENODATA   The channel data identified by channel were invalid.

NOTE
       Since c-ares 1.6.0 the ares_options struct has  been  "locked"  meaning
       that  it	 won't	be extended to cover new functions. This function will
       remain functioning, but it can only return config data that can be rep-
       resented	in this	config struct, which may no longer be the complete set
       of config options. ares_dup(3) will not have that restriction.

       The ares_options	struct can not handle potential	IPv6 name servers  the
       ares channel might be configured	to use.	The ares_save_options(3) func-
       tion  will  only	 return	IPv4 servers, if any. In order to retrieve all
       name servers an ares channel might be  using,  the  ares_get_servers(3)
       function	must be	used instead.

AVAILABILITY
       ares_save_options(3) was	added in c-ares	1.4.0
