DESCRIPTION

14       The  ares_destroy(3) function destroys the name service channel identi‐
15       fied by channel, freeing all memory and closing all sockets used by the
16       channel.
17
18       ares_destroy(3)  invokes  the  callbacks  for each pending query on the
19       channel, passing a status of ARES_EDESTRUCTION. These  calls  give  the
20       callbacks  a  chance to clean up any state which might have been stored
21       in their arguments. A callback must not add new requests to  a  channel
22       being destroyed.
