.SH DESCRIPTION

The

.B ares_strerror

function gets the description of the ares library error code

.IR code ,

returning the result as a NUL-terminated C string.  A pointer to

allocated data necessary to compose the error description may be

stored in the variable pointed to by

.IR memptr .

It is the caller's responsibility to invoke

.BR ares_free_errmem (3)

with the value of that variable when the error description is no

longer needed.
