 * \section moo Method of operation

 *

 * To use libasyncns allocate an asyncns_t object with

 * asyncns_new(). This will spawn a number of worker threads (or processes, depending on what is available) which

 * are subsequently used to process the queries the controlling

 * program issues via asyncns_getaddrinfo() and

 * asyncns_getnameinfo(). Use asyncns_free() to shut down the worker

 * threads/processes.

 *

 * Since libasyncns may fork off new processes you have to make sure that

 * your program is not irritated by spurious SIGCHLD signals.
