Overview

ldns_zone
DNS Zone

A list of RR's with some
extra information which comes from the SOA RR
Note: nothing has been done to make this efficient (yet).
struct ldns_struct_zone
{

the soa defines a zone:

ldns_rr *_soa;

/* basically a zone is a list of rr's */

ldns_rr_list *_rrs;

/* we could change this to be a b-tree etc etc todo */
};
typedef struct ldns_struct_zone ldns_zone;

ldns_zone_new() create a new ldns_zone structure .br Returns a pointer to a ldns_zone structure

ldns_zone_free() Frees the allocated memory for the zone, and the rr_list structure in it .br zone: the zone to free

ldns_zone_deep_free() Frees the allocated memory for the zone, the soa rr in it, and the rr_list structure in it, including the rr's in that. etc. .br zone: the zone to free

ldns_zone_new_frm_fp() Create a new zone from a file .br z: the new zone .br *fp: the filepointer to use .br *origin: the zones' origin .br ttl: default ttl to use .br c: default class to use (IN)

.br Returns ldns_status mesg with an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

ldns_zone_new_frm_fp_l() Create a new zone from a file, keep track of the line numbering .br z: the new zone .br *fp: the filepointer to use .br *origin: the zones' origin .br ttl: default ttl to use .br c: default class to use (IN) .br line_nr: used for error msg, to get to the line number

.br Returns ldns_status mesg with an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

ldns_zone_print() Print a zone structure * to output. Note the SOA record is included in this output .br output: the fd to print to .br z: the zone to print

ldns_zone_print_fmt() Print a zone structure * to output. Note the SOA record is included in this output .br output: the fd to print to .br fmt: format of the textual representation .br z: the zone to print
