    1 TODO
    2 
    3 The following is mostly an internal, not user-visible stuff.
    4 
    5 * rearrange an API to make dns_query object owned by application,
    6   so that it'll look like this:
    7    struct dns_query *q;
    8    q = dns_query_alloc(ctx);
    9    dns_query_set(q, options, domain_name, flags, ...);
   10    dns_query_submit(ctx, q);
   11   For more information see NOTES file, section "Planned API changes".
   12 
   13 * allow NULL callbacks?  Or provide separate resolver
   14   context list of queries which are done but wich did not
   15   have callback, and dns_pick() routine to retrieve results
   16   from this query, i.e. allow non-callback usage?  The
   17   non-callback usage may be handy sometimes (any *good*
   18   example?), but it will be difficult to provide type-safe
   19   non-callback interface due to various RR-specific types
   20   in use.
   21 
   22 * DNS_OPT_FLAGS should be DNS_OPT_ADDFLAGS and DNS_OPT_SETFLAGS.
   23   Currently one can't add a single flag bit but preserve
   24   existing bits... at least not without retrieving all current
   25   flags before, which isn't that bad anyway.
   26 
   27 * dns_set_opts() may process flags too (such as aaonly etc)
   28 
   29 * a way to disable $NSCACHEIP et al processing?
   30   (with now separate dns_init() and dns_reset(), it has finer
   31   control, but still no way to init from system files but ignore
   32   environment variables and the like)
   33 
   34 * initialize/open the context automatically, and be more
   35   liberal about initialization in general?
   36 
   37 * dns_init(ctx, do_open) - make the parameter opposite, aka
   38   dns_init(ctx, skip_open) ?
   39 
   40 * allow TCP queue?
   41 
   42 * more accurate error reporting.  Currently, udns always returns TEMPFAIL,
   43   but don't specify why it happened (ENOMEM, timeout, etc).
   44 
   45 * check the error value returned by recvfrom() and
   46   sendto() and determine which errors to ignore.
   47 
   48 * maybe merge dns_timeouts() and dns_ioevent(), to have
   49   only one entry point for everything?  For traditional
   50   select-loop-based eventloop it may be easier, but for
   51   callback-driven event loops the two should be separate.
   52   Provide an option, or a single dns_events() entry point
   53   for select-loop approach, or just call dns_ioevent()
   54   from within dns_timeouts() (probably after renaming
   55   it to be dns_events()) ?
   56 
   57 * implement /etc/hosts lookup too, ala [c-]ares??
   58 
   59 * sortlist support?
