+.SH NAME
+ares_process \- Process events for name resolution
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <ares.h>
+.PP
+.B void ares_process(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, fd_set *\fIread_fds\fP,
+.B	fd_set *\fIwrite_fds\fP)
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ares_process
+function handles input/output events and timeouts associated with
+queries pending on the name service channel identified by
+.IR channel .
+The file descriptor sets pointed to by
+.I read_fds
+and
+.I write_fds
+should have file descriptors set in them according to whether the file
+descriptors specified by
+.BR ares_fds (3)
+are ready for reading and writing.  (The easiest way to determine this
+information is to invoke
+.B select
+with a timeout no greater than the timeout given by
+.BR ares_timeout (3)).
+.PP
+The
+.B ares_process
+function will invoke callbacks for pending queries if they complete
+successfully or fail.
+.SS EXAMPLE
+The following code fragment waits for all pending queries on a channel
+to complete:
+.PP
+.RS
+.nf
+int nfds, count;
+fd_set readers, writers;
+struct timeval tv, *tvp;
+
+while (1)
+  {
+    FD_ZERO(&readers);
+    FD_ZERO(&writers);
+    nfds = ares_fds(channel, &readers, &writers);
+    if (nfds == 0)
+      break;
+    tvp = ares_timeout(channel, NULL, &tv);
+    count = select(nfds, &readers, &writers, NULL, tvp);
+    ares_process(channel, &readers, &writers);
+  }
