// a time, so if you need to resolve multiple hostnames at the same time, you
// will need to allocate a HostResolver object for each hostname.
//
// No attempt is made at this level to cache or pin resolution results.  For
// each request, this API talks directly to the underlying name resolver of
// the local system, which may or may not result in a DNS query.  The exact
// behavior depends on the system configuration.

  // Resolves the given hostname (or IP address literal), filling out the
  // |addresses| object upon success.  The |port| parameter will be set as the
  // sin(6)_port field of the sockaddr_in{6} struct.  Returns OK if successful
  // or an error code upon failure.
  //
  // When callback is null, the operation completes synchronously.
  //
  // When callback is non-null, ERR_IO_PENDING is returned if the operation
  // could not be completed synchronously, in which case the result code will
  // be passed to the callback when available.
