// but not all).
//
// This code is also not used on either macOS or iOS, even though both platforms
// have res_ninit(3). On iOS, /etc/hosts is immutable so there's no reason for
// us to watch it; on macOS, there is a system mechanism for listening to DNS
// changes which does not require use to do this kind of reloading. See
// //net/dns/dns_config_watcher_mac.cc.
//
// It *also* is not used on Android, because Android handles nameserver changes
// for us and has no /etc/resolv.conf. Despite that, Bionic does export these
// interfaces, so we need to not use them.
//
// It is also also not used on Fuchsia. Regrettably, Fuchsia's resolv.h has
// __RES set to 19991006, but does not actually provide res_ninit(3). This was
// an old musl bug that was fixed by musl c8fdcfe5, but Fuchsia's SDK doesn't
// have that change.

// On Linux/BSD, changes to /etc/resolv.conf can go unnoticed thus resulting
// in DNS queries failing either because nameservers are unknown on startup
// or because nameserver info has changed as a result of e.g. connecting to
// a new network. Some distributions patch glibc to stat /etc/resolv.conf
// to try to automatically detect such changes but these patches are not
// universal and even patched systems such as Jaunty appear to need calls
// to res_ninit to reload the nameserver information in different threads.
//
// To fix this, on systems with FilePathWatcher support, we use
// NetworkChangeNotifier::DNSObserver to monitor /etc/resolv.conf to
// enable us to respond to DNS changes and reload the resolver state.
//
// Android does not have /etc/resolv.conf. The system takes care of nameserver
// changes, so none of this is needed.
//
// TODO(crbug.com/40630884): Convert to SystemDnsConfigChangeNotifier because
// this really only cares about system DNS config changes, not Chrome effective
// config changes.
