+ * are subsequently used to process the queries the controlling
+ * program issues via asyncns_getaddrinfo() and
+ * asyncns_getnameinfo(). Use asyncns_free() to shut down the worker
+ * threads/processes.
+ *
+ * Since libasyncns may fork off new processes you have to make sure that
+ * your program is not irritated by spurious SIGCHLD signals.
