adns
adns is a replacement resolver library. Its programming interface is at once easier to use and more powerful than the standard libresolv. For example, responses are automatically decoded into native C formats, and it is possible to launch many queries and once and deal with the responses asynchronously.

I agree. A short tutorial would even be nice.
Good job!
This is exactly the kind of library that the world needs. I'm amazed it hasn't been created before. I agree that it could use more docs, and I also miss a C++ port. ;-)
No documentation
This library could do with some proper documentation rather than just having people waste time reading the source and trying to figure out how to use it in non-trivial applications.
