NAME

       ldns_pkt_new, ldns_pkt_free, ldns_pkt_print, ldns_pkt_query_new, ldns_pkt_query_new_frm_str, ldns_pkt_reply_type

SYNOPSIS

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

       #include <ldns/ldns.h>

       ldns_pkt* ldns_pkt_new();

       void ldns_pkt_free(ldns_pkt *packet);

       void ldns_pkt_print(FILE *output, const ldns_pkt *pkt);

       ldns_pkt* ldns_pkt_query_new(ldns_rdf *rr_name, ldns_rr_type rr_type, ldns_rr_class rr_class, uint16_t flags);

       ldns_status ldns_pkt_query_new_frm_str(ldns_pkt **p, const char *rr_name, ldns_rr_type rr_type, ldns_rr_class rr_class , uint16_t flags);

       ldns_pkt_type ldns_pkt_reply_type(ldns_pkt *p);

DESCRIPTION

       ldns_pkt_new() allocates and initializes a ldns_pkt structure.
	      Returns pointer to the new packet

       ldns_pkt_free() frees the packet structure and all data that it contains.
	      packet: The packet structure to free
	      Returns void

       ldns_pkt_print() Prints the data in the DNS packet to the given file stream (in presentation format)

	      output: the file stream to print to
	      pkt: the packet to print
	      Returns void

       ldns_pkt_query_new() creates a packet with a query in it for the given name, type and class.
	      rr_name: the name to query for
	      rr_type: the type to query for
	      rr_class: the class to query for
	      flags: packet flags
	      Returns ldns_pkt* a pointer to the new pkt

       ldns_pkt_query_new_frm_str() creates a query packet for the given name, type, class.
	      p: the packet to be returned
	      rr_name: the name to query for (as string)
	      rr_type: the type to query for
	      rr_class: the class to query for
	      flags: packet flags
	      Returns LDNS_STATUS_OK or a ldns_status mesg with the error

       ldns_pkt_reply_type() looks inside the packet to determine what kind of packet it is, AUTH, NXDOMAIN, REFERRAL, etc.
	      p: the packet to examine
	      Returns the type of packet
