/*****
 ***** Module Info
 *****/

/*! \file dns/rdata.h
 * \brief
 * Provides facilities for manipulating DNS rdata, including conversions to
 * and from wire format and text format.
 *
 * Given the large amount of rdata possible in a nameserver, it was important
 * to come up with a very efficient way of storing rdata, but at the same
 * time allow it to be manipulated.
 *
 * The decision was to store rdata in uncompressed wire format,
 * and not to make it a fully abstracted object; i.e. certain parts of the
 * server know rdata is stored that way.  This saves a lot of memory, and
 * makes adding rdata to messages easy.  Having much of the server know
 * the representation would be perilous, and we certainly don't want each
 * user of rdata to be manipulating such a low-level structure.  This is
 * where the rdata module comes in.  The module allows rdata handles to be
 * created and attached to uncompressed wire format regions.  All rdata
 * operations and conversions are done through these handles.
 *
 * Implementation Notes:
 *
 *\li	The routines in this module are expected to be synthesized by the
 *	build process from a set of source files, one per rdata type.  For
 *	portability, it's probably best that the building be done by a C
 *	program.  Adding a new rdata type will be a simple matter of adding
 *	a file to a directory and rebuilding the server.  *All* knowlege of
 *	the format of a particular rdata type is in this file.
 *
 * MP:
 *\li	Clients of this module must impose any required synchronization.
 *
 * Reliability:
 *\li	This module deals with low-level byte streams.  Errors in any of
 *	the functions are likely to crash the server or corrupt memory.
 *
 *\li	Rdata is typed, and the caller must know what type of rdata it has.
 *	A caller that gets this wrong could crash the server.
 *
 *\li	The fromstruct() and tostruct() routines use a void * pointer to
 *	represent the structure.  The caller must ensure that it passes a
 *	pointer to the appropriate type, or the server could crash or memory
 *	could be corrupted.
 *
 * Resources:
 *\li	None.
 *
 * Security:
 *
 *\li	*** WARNING ***
 *	dns_rdata_fromwire() deals with raw network data.  An error in
 *	this routine could result in the failure or hijacking of the server.
 *
 * Standards:
 *\li	RFC1035
 *\li	Draft EDNS0 (0)
 *\li	Draft EDNS1 (0)
 *\li	Draft Binary Labels (2)
 *\li	Draft Local Compression (1)
 *\li	Various RFCs for particular types; these will be documented in the
 *	 sources files of the types.
