+/*
+ * Welcome, gentle reader
+ *
+ * Async DNS lookups are really a whole lot harder than they should be,
+ * mostly stemming from the fact that the libc resolver has never been
+ * very good at them. Before you use this library you should see if libc
+ * can do the job for you with the modern async call getaddrinfo_a
+ * (see http://www.imperialviolet.org/page25.html#e498). Otherwise,
+ * please continue.
+ *
+ * This code is based on libevent and you must call event_init before
+ * any of the APIs in this file. You must also seed the OpenSSL random
+ * source if you are using OpenSSL for ids (see below).
+ *
+ * This library is designed to be included and shipped with your source
+ * code. You statically link with it. You should also test for the
+ * existence of strtok_r and define HAVE_STRTOK_R if you have it.
+ *
+ * The DNS protocol requires a good source of id numbers and these
+ * numbers should be unpredictable for spoofing reasons. There are
+ * three methods for generating them here and you must define exactly
+ * one of them. In increasing order of preference:
+ *
+ * DNS_USE_GETTIMEOFDAY_FOR_ID:
+ * Using the bottom 16 bits of the usec result from gettimeofday. This
+ * is a pretty poor solution but should work anywhere.
+ * DNS_USE_CPU_CLOCK_FOR_ID:
+ * Using the bottom 16 bits of the nsec result from the CPU's time
+ * counter. This is better, but may not work everywhere. Requires
+ * POSIX realtime support and you'll need to link against -lrt on
+ * glibc systems at least.
+ * DNS_USE_OPENSSL_FOR_ID:
+ * Uses the OpenSSL RAND_bytes call to generate the data. You must
+ * have seeded the pool before making any calls to this library.
+ *
+ * The library keeps track of the state of nameservers and will avoid
+ * them when they go down. Otherwise it will round robin between them.
+ *
+ * Quick start guide:
+ * #include "evdns.h"
+ * void callback(int result, char type, int count, int ttl,
+ * void *addresses, void *arg);
+ * evdns_resolv_conf_parse(DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, "/etc/resolv.conf");
+ * evdns_resolve("www.hostname.com", 0, callback, NULL);
+ *
+ * When the lookup is complete the callback function is called. The
+ * first argument will be one of the DNS_ERR_* defines in evdns.h.
+ * Hopefully it will be DNS_ERR_NONE, in which case type will be
+ * DNS_IPv4_A, count will be the number of IP addresses, ttl is the time
+ * which the data can be cached for (in seconds), addresses will point
+ * to an array of uint32_t's and arg will be whatever you passed to
+ * evdns_resolve.
+ *
+ * Searching:
+ *
+ * In order for this library to be a good replacement for glibc's resolver it
+ * supports searching. This involves setting a list of default domains, in
+ * which names will be queried for. The number of dots in the query name
+ * determines the order in which this list is used.
+ *
+ * Searching appears to be a single lookup from the point of view of the API,
+ * although many DNS queries may be generated from a single call to
+ * evdns_resolve. Searching can also drastically slow down the resolution
+ * of names.
+ *
+ * To disable searching:
+ * 1. Never set it up. If you never call evdns_resolv_conf_parse or
+ * evdns_search_add then no searching will occur.
+ *
+ * 2. If you do call evdns_resolv_conf_parse then don't pass
+ * DNS_OPTION_SEARCH (or DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, which implies it).
+ *
+ * 3. When calling evdns_resolve, pass the DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH flag.
+ *
+ * The order of searches depends on the number of dots in the name. If the
+ * number is greater than the ndots setting then the names is first tried
+ * globally. Otherwise each search domain is appended in turn.
+ *
+ * The ndots setting can either be set from a resolv.conf, or by calling
+ * evdns_search_ndots_set.
+ *
+ * For example, with ndots set to 1 (the default) and a search domain list of
+ * ["myhome.net"]:
+ * Query: www
+ * Order: www.myhome.net, www.
+ *
+ * Query: www.abc
+ * Order: www.abc., www.abc.myhome.net
+ *
+ * API reference:
+ *
+ * int evdns_nameserver_add(unsigned long int address)
+ * Add a nameserver. The address should be an IP address in
+ * network byte order. The type of address is chosen so that
+ * it matches in_addr.s_addr.
+ * Returns non-zero on error.
+ *
+ * int evdns_nameserver_ip_add(const char *ip_as_string)
+ * This wraps the above function by parsing a string as an IP
+ * address and adds it as a nameserver.
+ * Returns non-zero on error
+ *
+ * int evdns_resolve(const char *name, int flags,
+ * evdns_callback_type callback,
+ * void *ptr)
+ * Resolve a name. The name parameter should be a DNS name.
+ * The flags parameter should be 0, or DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH
+ * which disables searching for this query. (see defn of
+ * searching above).
+ *
+ * The callback argument is a function which is called when
+ * this query completes and ptr is an argument which is passed
+ * to that callback function.
+ *
+ * Returns non-zero on error
+ *
+ * void evdns_search_clear()
+ * Clears the list of search domains
+ *
+ * void evdns_search_add(const char *domain)
+ * Add a domain to the list of search domains
+ *
+ * void evdns_search_ndots_set(int ndots)
+ * Set the number of dots which, when found in a name, causes
+ * the first query to be without any search domain.
+ *
+ * int evdns_count_nameservers(void)
+ * Return the number of configured nameservers (not necessarily the
+ * number of running nameservers). This is useful for double-checking
+ * whether our calls to the various nameserver configuration functions
+ * have been successful.
+ *
+ * int evdns_clear_nameservers_and_suspend(void)
+ * Remove all currently configured nameservers, and suspend all pending
+ * resolves. Resolves will not necessarily be re-attempted until
+ * evdns_resume() is called.
+ *
+ * int evdns_resume(void)
+ * Re-attempt resolves left in limbo after an earlier call to
+ * evdns_clear_nameservers_and_suspend().
+ *
+ * int evdns_config_windows_nameservers(void)
+ * Attempt to configure a set of nameservers based on platform settings on
+ * a win32 host. Preferentially tries to use GetNetworkParams; if that fails,
+ * looks in the registry. Returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.
+ *
+ * int evdns_resolv_conf_parse(int flags, const char *filename)
+ * Parse a resolv.conf like file from the given filename.
+ *
+ * See the man page for resolv.conf for the format of this file.
+ * The flags argument determines what information is parsed from
+ * this file:
+ * DNS_OPTION_SEARCH - domain, search and ndots options
+ * DNS_OPTION_NAMESERVERS - nameserver lines
+ * DNS_OPTION_MISC - timeout and attempts options
+ * DNS_OPTIONS_ALL - all of the above
+ * The following directives are not parsed from the file:
+ * sortlist, rotate, no-check-names, inet6, debug
+ *
+ * Returns non-zero on error:
+ * 0 no errors
+ * 1 failed to open file
+ * 2 failed to stat file
+ * 3 file too large
+ * 4 out of memory
+ * 5 short read from file
+ * 6 no nameservers in file
+ *
+ * Internals:
+ *
+ * Requests are kept in two queues. The first is the inflight queue. In
+ * this queue requests have an allocated transaction id and nameserver.
+ * They will soon be transmitted if they haven't already been.
+ *
+ * The second is the waiting queue. The size of the inflight ring is
+ * limited and all other requests wait in waiting queue for space. This
+ * bounds the number of concurrent requests so that we don't flood the
+ * nameserver. Several algorithms require a full walk of the inflight
+ * queue and so bounding its size keeps thing going nicely under huge
+ * (many thousands of requests) loads.
+ *
+ * If a nameserver loses too many requests it is considered down and we
+ * try not to use it. After a while we send a probe to that nameserver
+ * (a lookup for google.com) and, if it replies, we consider it working
+ * again. If the nameserver fails a probe we wait longer to try again
+ * with the next probe.
