ares_set_sortlist - Initialize an ares_channel_t *sortlist configuration

ares_set_sortlist(3) was added in c-ares 1.11.0 23 November 2015 ARES_SET_SORTLIST(3)

The ares_set_sortlist(3) function initializes an address sortlist configuration for the channel data identified by channel, so that addresses returned by ares_gethostbyname(3) are sorted according to the sortlist. The provided sortstr string that holds a space separated list of IP-address-netmask pairs. The netmask is optional but follows the address after a slash if present. For example, "130.155.160.0/255.255.240.0 130.155.0.0". This function replaces any potentially previously configured address sortlist with the ones given in the configuration string.
