+ /* Combining the NSS status of two distinct queries requires some
+ compromise and attention to symmetry (A or AAAA queries can be
+ returned in any order). What follows is a breakdown of how this
+ code is expected to work and why. We discuss only SUCCESS,
+ TRYAGAIN, NOTFOUND and UNAVAIL, since they are the only returns
+ that apply (though RETURN and MERGE exist). We make a distinction
+ between TRYAGAIN (recoverable) and TRYAGAIN' (not-recoverable).
+ A recoverable TRYAGAIN is almost always due to buffer size issues
+ and returns ERANGE in errno and the caller is expected to retry
+ with a larger buffer.
+
+ Lastly, you may be tempted to make significant changes to the
+ conditions in this code to bring about symmetry between responses.
+ Please don't change anything without due consideration for
+ expected application behaviour. Some of the synthesized responses
+ aren't very well thought out and sometimes appear to imply that
+ IPv4 responses are always answer 1, and IPv6 responses are always
+ answer 2, but that's not true (see the implementation of send_dg
+ and send_vc to see response can arrive in any order, particularly
+ for UDP). However, we expect it holds roughly enough of the time
+ that this code works, but certainly needs to be fixed to make this
+ a more robust implementation.

+ [1] If the first response is a success we return success.
+ This ignores the state of the second answer and in fact
+ incorrectly sets errno and h_errno to that of the second
+ answer. However because the response is a success we ignore
+ *errnop and *h_errnop (though that means you touched errno on
+ success). We are being conservative here and returning the
+ likely IPv4 response in the first answer as a success.
+
+ [2] If the first response is a recoverable TRYAGAIN we return
+ that instead of looking at the second response. The
+ expectation here is that we have failed to get an IPv4 response
+ and should retry both queries.
+
+ [3] If the first response was not a SUCCESS and the second
+ response is not NOTFOUND (had a SUCCESS, need to TRYAGAIN,
+ or failed entirely e.g. TRYAGAIN' and UNAVAIL) then use the
+ result from the second response, otherwise the first responses
+ status is used. Again we have some odd side-effects when the
+ second response is NOTFOUND because we overwrite *errnop and
+ *h_errnop that means that a first answer of NOTFOUND might see
+ its *errnop and *h_errnop values altered. Whether it matters
+ in practice that a first response NOTFOUND has the wrong
+ *errnop and *h_errnop is undecided.
+
+ [4] If the first response is UNAVAIL we return that instead of
+ looking at the second response. The expectation here is that
+ it will have failed similarly e.g. configuration failure.
+
+ [5] Testing this code is complicated by the fact that truncated
+ second response buffers might be returned as SUCCESS if the
+ first answer is a SUCCESS. To fix this we add symmetry to
+ TRYAGAIN with the second response. If the second response
+ is a recoverable error we now return TRYAGIN even if the first
+ response was SUCCESS. */
