``tornado.platform.caresresolver`` --- Asynchronous DNS Resolver using C-Ares
=============================================================================
.. module:: tornado.platform.caresresolver
This module contains a DNS resolver using the c-ares library (and its
wrapper ``pycares``).
.. py:class:: CaresResolver
Name resolver based on the c-ares library.
This is a non-blocking and non-threaded resolver. It may not produce
the same results as the system resolver, but can be used for non-blocking
resolution when threads cannot be used.
c-ares fails to resolve some names when ``family`` is ``AF_UNSPEC``,
so it is only recommended for use in ``AF_INET`` (i.e. IPv4). This is
the default for ``tornado.simple_httpclient``, but other libraries
may default to ``AF_UNSPEC``.
