- Description:
-
- This package consists of a relocatable module (ResolverZM) which is a
- drop-in replacement for InetDB to provide DNS services. However, it gives
- a vastly expanded interface to the underlying libraries, which are those
- from BIND-4.9.3-REL with my extensions for multi-tasking lookups.
-
- It also includes two partially linked object files: o.libresolv and
- o.libresolvM which are linkable object files containing the DNS code.
-
- This will provide an API to gethostbyname gethostbyaddr and gethostname,
- plus a full multithreadable multitaskable library for performing lookups
- without blocking the machine.
