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 communications channel
       for name service lookups.  If it returns successfully, 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.

       The  ares_dup_options function also initializes a name service channel,
       with additional options set exactly as  the  source  channel  has  them
       configured.

       ares_dup(3) was added in c-ares 1.6.0
