Description

===========

> **Warning**

> This repository is not updated and contains known issues that are

> fixed in upstream OpenBSD.  Please use the bundled version in

> OpenSMTPD instead.

libasr is a free, simple and portable asynchronous resolver library.

It allows to run dns queries and perform hostname resolutions in a fully

asynchronous fashion.  The implementation is thread-less, fork-less, and

does not make use of signals or other "tricks" that might get in the

developer's way.  The API was initially developed for the OpenBSD

operating system, where it is natively supported.

This library is intended to bring this interface to other systems. It is

originally provided as a support library for the portable version of the

OpenSMTPD daemon, but it can be used in any other contexts.  It is known

to work on the following systems:

* Linux

* FreeBSD

* NetBSD

* DragonFly

* MacOSX

The primary source of information about libasr is the [github repository][1].

Build

-----

All you should need is working C compiler, a C library and the autotools

([autoconf],[automake],[libtool]).  Build and install using the following
