NAME

       ldns_rr2wire, ldns_pkt2wire, ldns_rdf2wire

SYNOPSIS

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

       #include <ldns/ldns.h>

       ldns_status ldns_rr2wire(uint8_t **dest, const ldns_rr *rr, int, size_t *size);

       ldns_status ldns_pkt2wire(uint8_t **dest, const ldns_pkt *p, size_t *size);

       ldns_status ldns_rdf2wire(uint8_t **dest, const ldns_rdf *rdf, size_t *size);

DESCRIPTION

       ldns_rr2wire() Allocates an array of uint8_t at dest, and puts the wireformat of the given rr in that array. The result_size value contains
	      the length of the array, if it succeeds, and 0 otherwise (in which case the function also returns NULL)

	      If the section argument is LDNS_SECTION_QUESTION, data like ttl and rdata are not put into the result

	      dest: pointer to the array of bytes to be created
	      rr: the rr to convert
	      size: the size of the converted result

       ldns_pkt2wire() Allocates an array of uint8_t at dest, and puts the wireformat of the given packet in that  array.  The	result_size  value
	      contains the length of the array, if it succeeds, and 0 otherwise (in which case the function also returns NULL)

       ldns_rdf2wire()	Allocates  an array of uint8_t at dest, and puts the wireformat of the given rdf in that array. The result_size value con-
	      tains the length of the array, if it succeeds, and 0 otherwise (in which case the function also returns NULL)

	      dest: pointer to the array of bytes to be created
	      rdf: the rdata field to convert
	      size: the size of the converted result
