+ * In queries _with_ qf_quoteok_*, domains in the query or response

+ * requires quoting according to the rules in RFC822 then the
+ * local-part is quoted in double quotes, which end at the next
+ * unescaped double quote (\ is the escape char, and is doubled, and
+ * is used to escape only \ and "). If the local-part is legal
+ * without quoting according to RFC822, it is presented as-is. In any
+ * case the local-part is followed by an @ and the domain. The domain
+ * will not contain any characters not legal in hostnames.
+ *
+ * Unquoted local-parts may contain any printing 7-bit ASCII
+ * except the punctuation characters ( ) < > @ , ; : \ " [ ]
+ * I.e. they may contain alphanumerics, and the following
+ * punctuation characters: ! # % ^ & * - _ = + { } .
+ *
+ * adns will reject local parts containing control characters (byte
+ * values 0-31, 127-159, and 255) - these appear to be legal according
+ * to RFC822 (at least 0-127) but are clearly a bad idea. RFC1035
+ * syntax does not make any distinction between a single RFC822
+ * quoted-string containing full stops, and a series of quoted-strings
+ * separated by full stops; adns will return anything that isn't all
+ * valid atoms as a single quoted-string. RFC822 does not allow
+ * high-bit-set characters at all, but adns does allow them in
+ * local-parts, treating them as needing quoting.
+ *
+ * If you ask for the domain with _raw then _no_ checking is done
+ * (even on the host part, regardless of adns_qf_quoteok_anshost), and
+ * you just get the domain name in master file format.

+ * is set later overrides any that is set earlier.
+ *
+ * Standard directives understood in resolv[-adns].conf:
+ *
+ * nameserver <address>
+ * Must be followed by the IP address of a nameserver. Several
+ * nameservers may be specified, and they will be tried in the order
+ * found. There is a compiled in limit, currently 5, on the number
+ * of nameservers. (libresolv supports only 3 nameservers.)
+ *
+ * search <domain> ...
+ * Specifies the search list for queries which specify
+ * adns_qf_search. This is a list of domains to append to the query
+ * domain. The query domain will be tried as-is either before all
+ * of these or after them, depending on the ndots option setting
+ * (see below).
+ *
+ * domain <domain>
+ * This is present only for backward compatibility with obsolete
+ * versions of libresolv. It should not be used, and is interpreted
+ * by adns as if it were `search' - note that this is subtly
+ * different to libresolv's interpretation of this directive.
+ *
+ * sortlist <addr>/<mask> ...
+ * Should be followed by a sequence of IP-address and netmask pairs,
+ * separated by spaces. They may be specified as
+ * eg. 172.30.206.0/24 or 172.30.206.0/255.255.255.0. Currently up
+ * to 15 pairs may be specified (but note that libresolv only
+ * supports up to 10).
+ *
+ * options
+ * Should followed by one or more options, separated by spaces.
+ * Each option consists of an option name, followed by optionally
+ * a colon and a value. Options are listed below.
+ *
+ * Non-standard directives understood in resolv[-adns].conf:
+ *
+ * clearnameservers
+ * Clears the list of nameservers, so that further nameserver lines
+ * start again from the beginning.
+ *
+ * include <filename>
+ * The specified file will be read.
+ *
+ * Additionally, adns will ignore lines in resolv[-adns].conf which
+ * start with a #.
+ *
+ * Standard options understood:
+ *
+ * debug
+ * Enables debugging output from the resolver, which will be written
+ * to stderr.
+ *
+ * ndots:<count>
+ * Affects whether queries with adns_qf_search will be tried first
+ * without adding domains from the searchlist, or whether the bare
+ * query domain will be tried last. Queries which contain at least
+ * <count> dots will be tried bare first. The default is 1.
+ *
+ * Non-standard options understood:
+ *
+ * adns_checkc:none
+ * adns_checkc:entex
+ * adns_checkc:freq
+ * Changes the consistency checking frequency; this overrides the
+ * setting of adns_if_check_entex, adns_if_check_freq, or neither,
+ * in the flags passed to adns_init.
+ *
+ * adns_af:{ipv4,ipv6},... adns_af:any
+ * Determines which address families ADNS looks up (either as an
+ * adns_r_addr query, or when dereferencing an answer yielding hostnames
+ * (e.g., adns_r_mx). The argument is a comma-separated list: only the
+ * address families listed will be looked up. The default is `any'.
+ * Lookups occur (logically) concurrently; use the `sortlist' directive to
+ * control the relative order of addresses in answers. This option
+ * overrides the corresponding init flags (covered by adns_if_afmask).
+ *
+ * There are a number of environment variables which can modify the
+ * behaviour of adns. They take effect only if adns_init is used, and
+ * the caller of adns_init can disable them using adns_if_noenv. In
+ * each case there is both a FOO and an ADNS_FOO; the latter is
+ * interpreted later so that it can override the former. Unless
+ * otherwise stated, environment variables are interpreted after
+ * resolv[-adns].conf are read, in the order they are listed here.
+ *
+ * RES_CONF, ADNS_RES_CONF
+ * A filename, whose contets are in the format of resolv.conf.
+ *
+ * RES_CONF_TEXT, ADNS_RES_CONF_TEXT
+ * A string in the format of resolv.conf.
+ *
+ * RES_OPTIONS, ADNS_RES_OPTIONS
+ * These are parsed as if they appeared in the `options' line of a
+ * resolv.conf. In addition to being parsed at this point in the
+ * sequence, they are also parsed at the very beginning before
+ * resolv.conf or any other environment variables are read, so that
+ * any debug option can affect the processing of the configuration.
+ *
+ * LOCALDOMAIN, ADNS_LOCALDOMAIN
+ * These are interpreted as if their contents appeared in a `search'
+ * line in resolv.conf.

+ * There are some adns-invented data formats which are not official
+ * master file formats. These include:
+ *
+ * Mailboxes if __qtf_mail822: these are just included as-is.
+ *
+ * Addresses (adns_rr_addr): these may be of pretty much any type.
+ * The representation is in two parts: first, a word for the address
+ * family (ie, in AF_XXX, the XXX), and then one or more items for the
+ * address itself, depending on the format. For an IPv4 address the
+ * syntax is INET followed by the dotted quad (from inet_ntoa).
+ * Currently only IPv4 is supported.
+ *
+ * Text strings (as in adns_rr_txt) appear inside double quotes, and
+ * use \" and \\ to represent " and \, and \xHH to represent
+ * characters not in the range 32-126.
+ *
+ * Hostname with addresses (adns_rr_hostaddr): this consists of the
+ * hostname, as usual, followed by the adns_status value, as an
+ * abbreviation, and then a descriptive string (encoded as if it were
+ * a piece of text), for the address lookup, followed by zero or more
+ * addresses enclosed in ( and ). If the result was a temporary
+ * failure, then a single ? appears instead of the ( ). If the
+ * result was a permanent failure then an empty pair of parentheses
+ * appears (which a space in between). For example, one of the NS
+ * records for greenend.org.uk comes out like
+ * ns.chiark.greenend.org.uk ok "OK" ( INET 195.224.76.132 )
+ * an MX referring to a nonexistent host might come out like:
+ * 50 sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk nxdomain "No such domain" ( )
+ * and if nameserver information is not available you might get:
+ * dns2.spong.dyn.ml.org timeout "DNS query timed out" ?
