Subject: Re: Problably Issue in name_from_dns // __res_msend_rc (lookup_name.c)
I see - getaddrinfo always returns -2, EAI_NONAME in case of these rare
errors.
The errno value (EAGAIN) came from my syscall, recvfrom, which does not
have data in these cases (all packets indicated by 'poll' were read
previously by recvfrom calls). (Btw., I did try to return 0 for these cases
in my recvfrom implementation, did not help either.)
Thanks
