26 The \fBares_destroy(3)\fP function destroys the name service channel
27 identified by \fIchannel\fP, freeing all memory and closing all sockets used
30 \fBares_destroy(3)\fP invokes the callbacks for each pending query on the
31 channel, passing a status of \IARES_EDESTRUCTION\fP. These calls give the
32 callbacks a chance to clean up any state which might have been stored in their
33 arguments. A callback must not add new requests to a channel being destroyed.
