NAME

       ares_destroy - Destroy a resolver channel

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ares.h>

       void ares_destroy(ares_channel channel)

DESCRIPTION

       The ares_destroy function destroys the name service channel identified by channel, freeing all memory and
       closing  all  sockets  used by the channel.  ares_destroy invokes the callbacks for each pending query on
       the channel, passing a status of ARES_EDESTRUCTION.  These calls give the callbacks a chance to clean  up
       any  state  which  might  have  been stored in their arguments. A callback must not add new requests to a
       channel being destroyed.
