LDNS module documentation
================================
Here you can find the documentation of pyLDNS extension module. This module consists of several classes and a couple of functions.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
:glob:
ldns_resolver
ldns_pkt
ldns_rr
ldns_rdf
ldns_dname
ldns_rr_list
ldns_zone
ldns_key
ldns_key_list
ldns_buffer
ldns_dnssec
ldns_func
**Differences against libLDNS**
* You don't need to use ldns-compare functions, instances can be compared using standard operators <, >, = ::
if (some_rr.owner() == another_rr.rdf(1)):
pass
* Classes contain static methods that create new instances, the name of these methods starts with the new\_ prefix (e.g. :meth:`ldns.ldns_pkt.new_frm_file`).
* Is it possible to print the content of an object using ``print objinst`` (see :meth:`ldns.ldns_resolver.get_addr_by_name`).
* Classes contain write_to_buffer method that writes the content into buffer.
* All the methods that consume parameter of (const ldns_rdf) type allows to use string instead (see :meth:`ldns.ldns_resolver.query`).
