ARES_SET_S...E_CALLBACK(3)  Library Functions Manual  ARES_SET_S...E_CALLBACK(3)

NAME
     ares_set_server_state_callback  - Function for setting a server state call-
     back

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     typedef void (*ares_server_state_callback)(const char *server_string,
						ares_bool_t success,
						int flags,
						void *data);

     void ares_set_server_state_callback(ares_channel_t *channel,
					 ares_server_state_callback callback,
					 void *user_data);

DESCRIPTION
     The ares_set_server_state_callback(3) function  sets  a  callback	function
     callback  in the given ares channel handle channel that is invoked whenever
     a query on the channel completes. This includes both successful and  unsuc-
     cessful queries (including hard errors and timeouts). The callback function
     is invoked with a number of parameters describing the query, as follows.

     The  server_string parameter indicates the DNS server that was used for the
     query,  given  as	 a   string   with   the   same   format   returned   by
     ares_get_servers_csv(3).

     The  success  parameter indicates whether the query succeeded or not. It is
     set to ARES_TRUE on success and ARES_FALSE on failure.

     The flags parameter is a bitmask of flags describing various aspects of the
     query (for example whether the query used UDP or TCP). These are  described
     below.

     The  data	parameter  is a reference to the custom user data user_data that
     was passed to ares_set_server_state_callback(3)  when  setting  the  server
     state callback.

     The  server state callback can be used by applications to monitor the state
     of the DNS servers used by an ares channel. For example, it can be used  to
     track metrics about the numbers and types of queries sent to each server or
     to detect when a server is uncontactable or unhealthy.

FLAGS
     ARES_SERV_STATE_UDP
	  Indicates that the query was tried over UDP.

     ARES_SERV_STATE_TCP
	  Indicates that the query was tried over TCP.

AVAILABILITY
     This function was first introduced in c-ares version 1.29.0.
