[Info-vax] ACPCONTROL equivalents of getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo()

A $QIO with function IO$_ACPCONTROL and the likes of subfunctions of 
INETACP_FUNC$C_GETHOSTBYNAME or INETACP_FUNC$C_GETHOSTBYADDR is the 
documented *asynchronous* mechanism for resolving host names and 
addresses (equivalents of the BSD calls gethostbyname() and 
gethostbyaddr()).

This seems only able to return A records.  I am looking for the 
asynchronous AAAA record equivalents of the likes of getaddrinfo() and 
getnameinfo() ... but without much success.

Can anyone point me in the right direction (or tell me there is no 
such)?  TIA.
