1.5 KiB
1.5 KiB
Alternative (more granular) approach to a DNS library.
Completely usable DNS library. Most widely used Resource Records are 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 function for it. For instance I'm pondering if a zone-like structure should be implemented in the library.
Features:
- UDP/TCP queries, IPv4 and IPv6;
- TSIG;
- EDNS0;
- AXFR/IXFR;
- DNS name compression;
- Client and server side programming (mimicking the http package);
- Asynchronous queries for client and server;
- RFC 1035 zone file parsing.
Sample programs can be found in the _examples
directory. They can
be build with: make examples
(after the dns package has been installed)
Have fun!
