DESCRIPTION

33       ldns_pkt_new() allocates and initializes a ldns_pkt structure.
34              Returns pointer to the new packet
35
36       ldns_pkt_free() frees the packet structure and all data that it con‐
37              tains.
38              packet: The packet structure to free
39              Returns void
40
41       ldns_pkt_print() Prints the data in the DNS packet to the given file
42              stream (in presentation format)
43
44              output: the file stream to print to
45              pkt: the packet to print
46              Returns void
47
48       ldns_pkt_query_new() creates a packet with a query in it for the given
49              name, type and class.
50              rr_name: the name to query for (not copied).  The returned
51              packet will take ownership of rr_name, so the caller should not
52              free it.
53              rr_type: the type to query for
54              rr_class: the class to query for
55              flags: packet flags
56              Returns ldns_pkt* a pointer to the new pkt
57
58       ldns_pkt_query_new_frm_str() creates a query packet for the given name,
59              type, class.
60              p: the packet to be returned
61              rr_name: the name to query for (as string)
62              rr_type: the type to query for
63              rr_class: the class to query for
64              flags: packet flags
65              Returns LDNS_STATUS_OK or a ldns_status mesg with the error
66
67       ldns_pkt_reply_type() looks inside the packet to determine what kind of
68              packet it is, AUTH, NXDOMAIN, REFERRAL, etc.
69              p: the packet to examine
70              Returns the type of packet
