I meant, run res_init() before we alter the internals.
Based on what you've said later on in this email, should I be doing
res_init(), then running  __res_vinit() manually?

I'm simply doing this:

|inet_pton(AF_INET, ||"208.67.220.220"||, &server); |
 
|serverSock.sin_family = AF_INET;|
|s||erverSock.sin_port = htons(53);|
|serverSock.sin_addr = server;|
 
|_res.nscount = 1;|
|_res.nsaddr_list[0] = serverSock;

|

Do you mean actually documented? Or just you can work it out by reading
the code. If the former, could you link me to the documentation?
