ARES_SET_LOCAL_DEV(3)	    Library Functions Manual	   ARES_SET_LOCAL_DEV(3)

NAME
     ares_set_local_dev  - Bind to a specific network device when creating sock-
     ets.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     void ares_set_local_dev(ares_channel_t *channel, const char* local_dev_name)

DESCRIPTION
     The ares_set_local_dev function causes all future sockets to  be  bound  to
     this  device with SO_BINDTODEVICE.  This forces communications to go over a
     certain interface, which can be useful on multi-homed machines.   This  op-
     tion is only supported on Linux, the interface must not be already bound to
     the  socket  or the current effective user must have CAP_NET_RAW capability
     in the current network namespace for the option to work.	If  SO_BINDTODE-
     VICE  is  not  supported  or the setsockopt call fails (probably because of
     permissions), the error is silently ignored.

SEE ALSO
     ares_set_local_ip4(3) ares_set_local_ip6(3) network_namespaces(7)

NOTES
     This function was added in c-ares 1.7.4
