Spec URL: http://0pointer.de/public/libasyncns.spec
SRPM URL: http://0pointer.de/public/libasyncns-0.4-1.fc10.src.rpm
Description: 

libasyncns is a C library for Linux/Unix for executing name service queries 
asynchronously. It is an asynchronous wrapper around getaddrinfo(3), 
getnameinfo(3), res_query(3) and res_search(3) from libc and libresolv.

In contrast to GNU's asynchronous name resolving API getaddrinfo_a(), 
libasyncns does not make use of UNIX signals for reporting completion of name 
queries. Instead, the API exports a standard UNIX file descriptor which may be 
integerated cleanly into custom main loops.

In contrast to asynchronous DNS resolving libraries like libdenise, skadns, 
adns, libasyncns is just an asynchronous wrapper around the libc's synchronous 
getaddrinfo() API, which has the advantage of allowing name resolution using 
techniques like Multicast DNS, LDAP or NIS using standard libc NSS (Name 
Service Switch) modules. libasyncns is compatible with IPv6 if the underlying 
libc is.

This has been a recommended (though optional) PulseAudio dependency for quite a 
while, but I never bothered to actually package this for Fedora. So here it 
finally is.
