       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <netinet/in.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Functions in this library provide for creating, sending, and interpreting packets to the Internet domain name servers.

INTERFACES
       The  shared  object  libresolv.so.2  provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object
       interfaces.

       __dn_skipname		     __fp_query
       __hostalias		     __p_cdname
       __p_class		     __p_query
       __p_time 		     __p_type
       __putlong		     _getlong
       _getshort		     _res
       dn_comp			     dn_expand
       fp_resstat		     h_errno
       herror			     hstrerror
       res_hostalias		     res_init
       res_mkquery		     res_nclose
       res_ninit		     res_nmkquery
       res_nquery		     res_nquerydomain
       res_nsearch		     res_nsend
       res_nsendsigned		     res_query
       res_querydomain		     res_search
       res_send 		     res_update

       Programs are expected to use the aliases defined in  <resolv.h> rather than calling the "__" prefixed procedures, as indicated in the  fol-
       lowing table.  Use of the routines in the first column is discouraged.
