ARES_REINIT(3)		    Library Functions Manual		  ARES_REINIT(3)

NAME
     ares_reinit - ReInitialize a resolver channel from system configuration.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_reinit(ares_channel_t *channel)

DESCRIPTION
     The  ares_reinit(3)  function  re-reads the system configuration and safely
     applies the configuration to the existing	channel.   System  configuration
     will   never   override   user-provided   settings  such  as  provided  via
     ares_init_options(3) or ares_set_servers(3).

     Any existing queries will be automatically requeued if the server they  are
     currently assigned to is removed from the system configuration.

     This  function may cause additional file descriptors to be created, and ex-
     isting ones to be destroyed if server configuration has changed.

     0d safety, will spawn a background thread to read the configuration and ap-
     ply it.  It is crucial that developers use  the  ARES_OPT_SOCK_STATE_CB  or
     ARES_OPT_EVENT_THREAD so that notifications of changes are alerted.  If us-
     ing ares_getsock(3) or ares_fds(3), no notification is possible which could
     cause a stall.

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

     ARES_SUCCESS  Initialization succeeded.

     ARES_EFILE    A configuration file could not be read.

     ARES_ENOMEM   The process's available memory was exhausted.

AVAILABILITY
     This function was first introduced in c-ares version 1.22.0.
