DESCRIPTION

ldns_pkt2buffer_str() Converts the data in the DNS packet to presenta

tion format (as char *) and appends it to the given buffer

output: pointer to the buffer to append the data to pkt: the pointer to the packet to convert
Returns status

ldns_pktheader2buffer_str() Converts the header of a packet to presen

tation format and appends it to the output buffer
output: the buffer to append output to
pkt: the packet to convert the header of
Returns ldns_status

ldns_rr2buffer_str() Converts the data in the resource record to pre

sentation format (as char *) and appends it to the given buffer

output: pointer to the buffer to append the data to rr: the pointer to the rr field to convert
Returns status

ldns_rr_list2buffer_str() Converts a rr_list to presentation format and

appends it to the output buffer
output: the buffer to append output to
list: the ldns_rr_list to print
Returns ldns_status

ldns_rdf2buffer_str() Converts the data in the rdata field to presenta

tion format (as char *) and appends it to the given buffer

output: pointer to the buffer to append the data to rdf: the pointer to the rdafa field containing the data
Returns status

ldns_key2buffer_str() Converts the data in the DNS packet to presenta

tion format (as char *) and appends it to the given buffer

output: pointer to the buffer to append the data to k: the pointer to the private key to convert
Returns status

ldns_pkt2buffer_wire() Copies the packet data to the buffer in wire

format
*output: buffer to append the result to
*pkt: packet to convert
Returns ldns_status

ldns_rr2buffer_wire() Copies the rr data to the buffer in wire format

*output: buffer to append the result to
*rr: resource record to convert
section: the section in the packet this rr is supposed to be in

(to determine whether to add rdata or not)

Returns ldns_status

ldns_rdf2buffer_wire() Copies the rdata data to the buffer in wire for

mat
*output: buffer to append the result to
*rdf: rdata to convert
Returns ldns_status

ldns_rrsig2buffer_wire() Converts a rrsig to wireformat BUT EXCLUDE the

rrsig rdata This is needed in DNSSEC verification
output: buffer to append the result to
sigrr: signature rr to operate on
Returns ldns_status

ldns_rr_rdata2buffer_wire() Converts an rr's rdata to wireformat, while

excluding the ownername and all the stuff before the rdata. This is needed in DNSSEC keytag calculation, the ds calcalution from the key and maybe elsewhere.

*output: buffer where to put the result
*rr: rr to operate on
Returns ldns_status
