ldns Description

Open source development tool that will simplify DNS programming The goal of ldns is to simplify DNS programming, it supports recent RFCs like the DNSSEC documents, and allows developers to easily create software conforming to current RFCs, and experimental software for current Internet Drafts. A secondary benefit of using ldns is speed; ldns is written in C it should be a lot faster than Perl.The first major tool to use ldns is Drill, from which part of the library was derived. From version 1.0.0 on, drill is be included in the ldns release and will not be distributed separately anymore. Its version number will follow that of ldns. The library also includes some other examples and tools to show how it can be used.ldns will depend on OpenSSL for it's crypto functions. ldns can be compiled without OpenSSL, but of course you will lose any ability to perform cryptographic functions. Here are some key features of "ldns": · IP4 and IP6 support, · TSIG support, · DNSSEC support; signing and verification, · small size, · online documentation as well as manual pages. What's New in This Release: · Bugfix: allow for unknown resource records in zonefile with rdlen=0. · Bugfix: also mark an RR as question if it comes from the wire · Bugfix: NSEC3 bitmap contained NSEC · Bugfix: Inherit class when creating signatures
