ldns(3)

💖 ldns(3) — the ldns manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual for ldns, and honestly? it's giving reference material. it's giving "you will come back to this at 2am". let's go 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

ldns_algorithm — algorithms used in dns 🦋

here's the whole enum, no cap, every single one of them:

enum ldns_enum_algorithm
{
        LDNS_RSAMD5             = 1,   /* RFC 4034,4035 */
        LDNS_DH                 = 2,
        LDNS_DSA                = 3,
        LDNS_ECC                = 4,
        LDNS_RSASHA1            = 5,
        LDNS_DSA_NSEC3          = 6,
        LDNS_RSASHA1_NSEC3      = 7,
        LDNS_RSASHA256          = 8,   /* RFC 5702 */
        LDNS_RSASHA512          = 10,  /* RFC 5702 */
        LDNS_ECC_GOST           = 12,  /* RFC 5933 */
        LDNS_ECDSAP256SHA256    = 13,  /* RFC 6605 */
        LDNS_ECDSAP384SHA384    = 14,  /* RFC 6605 */
     LDNS_ED25519        = 15,  /* RFC 8080 */
     LDNS_ED448          = 16,  /* RFC 8080 */
        LDNS_INDIRECT           = 252,
        LDNS_PRIVATEDNS         = 253,
        LDNS_PRIVATEOID         = 254
};
typedef enum ldns_enum_algorithm ldns_algorithm;

the way that LDNS_ED25519 and LDNS_ED448 are out there living their best life with slightly different indentation… iconic. we don't fix it. we respect it. 🎀

and yes, that typedef at the bottom means you can just say ldns_algorithm like it's nothing. main character energy fr fr. ✨

⭐ REMARKS ⭐

This manpage was automatically generated from the ldns source code. so if the prose is a little stiff, that's why — not me though, i'm thriving 💅

and that's the whole thing!! this page is from the ldns library, dated 30 May 2006 — yeah, it's vintage, it's a classic, it's been slaying in ldns(3) for literal decades. go read the RFCs, hydrate, and call your mother. bye bestie!! 💖🎀🦋🌸✨
