DESCRIPTION

29       ldns_rr_descriptor
30              Contains all information about resource record types.
31
32              This structure contains, for all rr types, the rdata fields that
33              are defined.
34              struct ldns_struct_rr_descriptor
35              {
36                   Type of the RR that is described here:
37                   ldns_rr_type    _type;
38                   Textual name of the RR type.:
39                   const char *_name;
40                   Minimum number of rdata fields in the RRs of this type.:
41                   uint8_t     _minimum;
42                   Maximum number of rdata fields in the RRs of this type.:
43                   uint8_t     _maximum;
44                   Wireformat specification for the rr, i.e. the types of
45              rdata fields in their respective order.:
46                   const ldns_rdf_type *_wireformat;
47                   Special rdf types:
48                   ldns_rdf_type _variable;
49                   Specifies whether compression can be used for dnames in
50              this RR type.:
51                   ldns_rr_compress _compress;
52                   The number of DNAMEs in the _wireformat string, for pars‐
53              ing.:
54                   uint8_t _dname_count;
55              };
56              typedef struct ldns_struct_rr_descriptor ldns_rr_descriptor;
57
58       ldns_rr_descript() returns the resource record descriptor for the given
59              rr type.
60
61              type: the type value of the rr type
62              Returns the ldns_rr_descriptor for this type
63
64       ldns_rr_descriptor_minimum() returns the minimum number of rdata fields
65              of the rr type this descriptor describes.
66
67              descriptor: for an rr type
68              Returns the minimum number of rdata fields
69
70       ldns_rr_descriptor_maximum() returns the maximum number of rdata fields
71              of the rr type this descriptor describes.
72
73              descriptor: for an rr type
74              Returns the maximum number of rdata fields
75
76       ldns_rr_descriptor_field_type() returns the rdf type for the given
77              rdata field number of the rr type for the given descriptor.
78
79              descriptor: for an rr type
80              field: the field number
81              Returns the rdf type for the field
