    adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with

    (Technical note: adns requires a real nameserver like BIND running on
    the same system or a nearby one, which must be willing to provide
    `recursive service'. I.e., adns is a `stub resolver'. All properly
    configured UN*X and GNU systems will already have such nameserver(s);
    they are usually listed in /etc/resolv.conf.)
