+SUMMARY="A C library for asynchronous DNS requests"
+DESCRIPTION="This is c-ares, an asynchronous resolver library. It is intended \
+for applications which need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or need \
+to perform multiple DNS queries in parallel. The primary examples of such \
+applications are servers which communicate with multiple clients and programs \
+with graphical user interfaces."
