Subject: getaddrinfo_a man page: add notification example?
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2024 11:50:07 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <728184.1724230207@archlinux> (raw)

hi.  first, thanks for the man pages.  always a great resource (in spite
of the --help's of the world).

i recently tried to figure out how to use getaddrinfo_a with its
notification facilities.
----
https://git.sr.ht/~minshall/gai-a
----

the examples in the man page was very helpful to me.
----
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man/man3/getaddrinfo_a.3
----

that there is any example is great, though i can imagine controversial
(because of length).  but ...

> This example shows a simple interactive getaddrinfo_a() front-end.
> The notification facility is not demonstrated.

if there was a desire to expand the asynchronous example to demonstrate
signal and callback notifications, i could take a stab at it.  maybe
adding commands to change the facility (for future requests that
session), or some such.

cheers, and again thanks, Greg
