*
* \section moo Method of operation
*
* To use libasyncns allocate an _g_asyncns_t object with
* _g_asyncns_new(). This will spawn a number of worker threads (or processes, depending on what is available) which
* are subsequently used to process the queries the controlling
* program issues via _g_asyncns_getaddrinfo() and
* _g_asyncns_getnameinfo(). Use _g_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.
