NAME
       ldns_wire2rr, ldns_wire2pkt, ldns_wire2rdf, ldns_wire2dname


SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdint.h>
       #include <stdbool.h>

       #include <ldns/ldns.h>

       ldns_status ldns_wire2rr(ldns_rr **rr, const uint8_t *wire, size_t max, size_t *pos, ldns_pkt_section section);

        ldns_wire2pkt();

       ldns_status ldns_wire2rdf(ldns_rr *rr, const uint8_t *wire, size_t max, size_t *pos);

       ldns_status ldns_wire2dname(ldns_rdf **dname, const uint8_t *wire, size_t max, size_t *pos);

DESCRIPTION
       ldns_wire2rr()  converts the data on the uint8_t bytearray (in wire format) to a DNS resource record.  This function will
              initialize and allocate memory space for the rr structure.  The length of the wiredata of this rr is added to  the
              *pos value.

              rr: pointer to the structure to hold the rdata value
              wire: pointer to the buffer with the data
              max: the length of the data buffer (in bytes)
              pos: the position of the rr in the buffer (ie. the number of bytes
                         from the start of the buffer)
              section: the section in the packet the rr is meant for
              Returns LDNS_STATUS_OK if everything succeeds, error otherwise

       ldns_wire2pkt()

       ldns_wire2rdf()  converts  the  data  on the uint8_t bytearray (in wire format) to DNS rdata fields, and adds them to the
              list of rdfs of the given rr.  This function will initialize and allocate memory space for the  dname  structures.
              The length of the wiredata of these rdfs is added to the *pos value.

              All  rdfs  belonging to the RR are read; the rr should have no rdfs yet. An error is returned if the format cannot
              be parsed.

              rr: pointer to the ldns_rr structure to hold the rdata value
              wire: pointer to the buffer with the data
              max: the length of the data buffer (in bytes)
              pos: the position of the rdf in the buffer (ie. the number of bytes
                         from the start of the buffer)
              Returns LDNS_STATUS_OK if everything succeeds, error otherwise

       ldns_wire2dname() converts the data on the uint8_t bytearray (in wire format) to a DNS dname rdata field.  This  function
              will initialize and allocate memory space for the dname structure. The length of the wiredata of this rdf is added
              to the *pos value.

              dname: pointer to the structure to hold the rdata value
              wire: pointer to the buffer with the data
              max: the length of the data buffer (in bytes)
              pos: the position of the rdf in the buffer (ie. the number of bytes
                         from the start of the buffer)
              Returns LDNS_STATUS_OK if everything succeeds, error otherwise
