Typically, a <em>foobar_r</em> function is the +generic one, and will take additional arguments such as: a pointer to +a local hosts database (compiled to an efficient format), and/or a +list and number of rules for qualification. The corresponding <em>foobar</em> +function is the same, except that it uses global variables to fill +these additional arguments: for instance, the hosts database made from +<tt>/etc/hosts</tt>, or the qualification rules computed from +<tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt>. We document the simpler functions — even +though they're macros, we pretend they're functions; please refer to +the <a href="https://git.skarnet.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/s6-dns/tree/src/include/s6-dns/hosts.h">s6-dns/hosts.h</a> +file for the exact prototypes or if you want to use the generic functions. +</p> + +<ul> + <li> <tt>s6dns_engine_here</tt>: a global +<a href="s6dns-engine.html">s6dns_engine_t</a> storing the current +query, for sequential queries. </li> + <li> <tt>s6dns_debughook_zero</tt>: a global <tt>s6dns_debughook_t</tt> +meaning no debugging is needed. </li> + <li> <tt>s6dns_rci_here</tt>: a global +<a href="s6dns-rci.html">s6dns_rci_t</a> containing the current +resolv.conf information. </li> +</ul> + +<h2> Global variables </h2> + +<p> +<code> cdb s6dns_hosts_here </code> <br /> +<tt>s6dns_hosts_here</tt> is the global <tt>cdb</tt> database containing +the compiled data from <tt>/etc/hosts</tt>.
