DESCRIPTION

25       ldns_rr2wire() Allocates an array of uint8_t at dest, and puts the
26              wireformat of the given rr in that array. The result_size value
27              contains the length of the array, if it succeeds, and 0 other‐
28              wise (in which case the function also returns NULL)
29
30              If the section argument is LDNS_SECTION_QUESTION, data like ttl
31              and rdata are not put into the result
32
33              dest: pointer to the array of bytes to be created
34              rr: the rr to convert
35              section: the rr section, determines how the rr is written.
36              size: the size of the converted result
37
38       ldns_pkt2wire() Allocates an array of uint8_t at dest, and puts the
39              wireformat of the given packet in that array. The result_size
40              value contains the length of the array, if it succeeds, and 0
41              otherwise (in which case the function also returns NULL)
42
43       ldns_rdf2wire() Allocates an array of uint8_t at dest, and puts the
44              wireformat of the given rdf in that array. The result_size value
45              contains the length of the array, if it succeeds, and 0 other‐
46              wise (in which case the function also returns NULL)
47
48              dest: pointer to the array of bytes to be created
49              rdf: the rdata field to convert
50              size: the size of the converted result
