+.SH NAME
+ares_free_hostent \- Free host structure allocated by ares functions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <ares.h>
+.PP
+.B void ares_free_hostent(struct hostent *\fIhost\fP)
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I ares_free_hostent
+function frees a
+.B struct hostent
+allocated by one of the functions
+.I ares_parse_a_reply
+or
+.IR ares_parse_ptr_reply .
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR ares_parse_a_reply (3),
+.BR ares_parse_ptr_reply (3)
+.SH NOTES
+It is not necessary (and is not correct) to free the host structure
+passed to the callback functions for
+.I ares_gethostbyname
+or
+.IR ares_gethostbyaddr .
+The ares library will automatically free such host structures when the
+callback returns.
