+.SH NAME
+ares_getsock \- get file descriptors to wait on
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <ares.h>
+.PP
+.B int ares_getsock(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, int *\fIsocks\fP, 
+.B int \fInumsocks\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ares_getsock
+function retrieves the set of file descriptors which the calling
+application should wait on for reading and/or writing for the
+processing of name service queries pending on the name service channel
+identified by
+.IR channel .
+File descriptors will be set in the integer array pointed to by
+\fIsocks\fP.
+\fInumsocks\fP is the size of the given array in number of ints.
+
+This function can only return information about up to 16 sockets. If more are
+in use (however unlikely that is), they are simply not reported back.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+\fBares_getsock\fP returns a bitmask for what actions to wait for on the
+different sockets. The ares.h header file provides these convenience macros to
+extract the information appropriately:
+
+.nf
+#define ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM 16 /* ares_getsock() can return info about
+                                  this many sockets */
+#define ARES_GETSOCK_READABLE(bits,num) (bits & (1<< (num)))
+#define ARES_GETSOCK_WRITABLE(bits,num) (bits & (1 << ((num) + \
+                                         ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM)))
