Complete and usable DNS library. All widely used Resource Records are
|
2012-01-27 07:51:24 +00:00
|
|
|
supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and mean philosophy.

|
If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there isn't a convenience
|
2012-05-03 06:59:02 +00:00
|
|
|
function for it. Server side and client side programming is supported, i.e. you
|
|
|
|
can build servers and resolvers with it.

Building is done with the `go` tool. If you have setup your GOPATH
|
|
|
|
correctly the following should work:
|
2011-01-01 21:07:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2012-08-09 21:38:47 +00:00
|
|
|
go get github.com/miekg/dns
|
2012-02-05 10:04:21 +00:00
|
|
|
go build dns
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sample programs can be found in the `ex` directory. They can
|
2012-02-18 21:18:16 +00:00
|
|
|
be build with: `make -C ex`, or also with the `go` tool.
