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 reference) iden-
     tified 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_destroy_op-
     tions 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 represented in
     this config struct, which may no longer be the complete set of  config  op-
     tions. 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) function 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.
