+.SH NAME
+ares_fds \- Get file descriptors to select on for name service
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <ares.h>
+.PP
+.B struct timeval *ares_timeout(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
+.B	struct timeval *\fImaxtv\fP, struct timeval *\fItvbuf\fP)
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ares_timeout
+function determines the maximum time for which the caller should wait
+before invoking 
+.BR ares_process (3)
+to process timeouts.  The parameter
+.I maxtv
+specifies a existing maximum timeout, or
+.B NULL
+if the caller does not wish to apply a maximum timeout.  The parameter
+.I tvbuf
+must point to a writable buffer of type
+.BR "struct timeval" .
+It is valid for
+.I maxtv
+and
+.I tvbuf
+to have the same value.
+.PP
+If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum
+timeout,
+.B ares_timeout
+returns the value of
+.IR maxtv;
+otherwise
+.B ares_timeout
+stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer pointed to by
+.I tvbuf
+and returns the value of
+.IR tvbuf .
