NAME

     ares_dup - Duplicate a resolver channel

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_dup(ares_channel *dest, ares_channel source)

DESCRIPTION

     The ares_dup(3) function duplicates an  existing  communica-
     tions  channel for name service lookups.  If it returns suc-
     cessfully, ares_dup(3) will set the variable pointed  to  by
     dest  to a handle used to identify the name service channel.
     The caller should invoke ares_destroy(3) on the handle  when
     the channel is no longer needed.
