adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with
the existing interfaces, gethostbyname et al and libresolv, it has the
following features:
* It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want
to translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc.
* It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many
queries can be handled simultaneously.
Technical note: adns requires a real nameserver like BIND or
Dents running on the same system or a nearby one, which must be
willing to provide `recursive service'. I.e., adns is a `stub
resolver'.
