val hex_of_string : string -> string

val rdata_to_string : rdata -> string

val rdata_to_rr_type : rdata -> rr_type

val marshal_rdata : 
  int Name.Map.t ->
  ?compress:bool ->
  int ->
  Cstruct.t ->
  rdata ->
  rr_type * int Name.Map.t * int

Marshal the RR data into the DNS binary format. Raises Not_implemented if the RR type is known but the logic is not implemented in the library yet.

val compare_rdata : rdata -> rdata -> int

exception Not_implemented

val parse_rdata : 
  (int, Name.label) Hashtbl.t ->
  int ->
  rr_type ->
  int ->
  int32 ->
  Cstruct.t ->
  rdata

Parse an RDATA element from a packet, given the set of already encountered names, a starting index, and the type of the RDATA. Raises Not_implemented if the RR type is not recognized.

type rr_class =

| RR_IN
| RR_CS
| RR_CH
| RR_HS
| RR_ANY

The class of a rr, and usual conversion functions.

val rr_class_to_string : rr_class -> string

type rr = {

name : Name.t;
cls : rr_class;
flush : bool;
ttl : int32;
rdata : rdata;

}

A resource record, with usual conversion and parsing functions.

val rr_to_string : rr -> string

val marshal_rr : 
  ?compress:bool ->
  (int Name.Map.t * int * Cstruct.t) ->

type q_unicast =

| Q_Normal
| Q_mDNS_Unicast

val q_unicast_to_string : q_unicast -> string

type question = {

q_name : Name.t;

}

The detail field from the DNS header, with the usual conversion functions.

type t = {

id : int;
detail : detail;
questions : question list;
