the internal __res_msend returns 0 on timeout without having obtained any conclusive answer, but in this case has not filled in meaningful anslen. res_send wrongly treated that as success, but returned a zero answer length. any reasonable caller would eventually end up treating that as an error when attempting to parse/validate it, but it should just be reported as an error. alternatively we could return the last-received inconclusive answer (typically servfail), but doing so would require internal changes in __res_msend. this may be considered later.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
