e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.

Skadns is a kind of an Asynchronous DNS client software:
|
|
- Kind of: it's small. Really small. But it just works.
|
|
- Asynchronous: all DNS operations are non-blocking.
|
|
- DNS client software: it's a DNS client, what you may know
|
|
as a "stub resolver". To perform full DNS resolution,
|
|
you will still need a full resolver like dnscache.
|
|
|
|
The skadns library offers a simple API to make asynchronous DNS queries.
|
|
The skadnsip, skadnsmx and skadnsfilter commands are examples
|
|
of how to use that API. They are mainly there for their source code.
|
|
The skadnsd daemon, usable as a child process or as a separate service,
|
|
handles the grunt work of DNS querying and makes the network
|
|
completely invisible to the client.
