✨ ldns(3) — the dname-gluing one ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ldns(3), from the Library Functions Manual 💖 this is the page about sticking two dnames together like they're holding hands 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ldns_dname_cat_clone, ldns_dname_cat — concatenate two dnames

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_rdf* ldns_dname_cat_clone(const ldns_rdf *rd1, const ldns_rdf
*rd2);

ldns_status ldns_dname_cat(ldns_rdf *rd1, const ldns_rdf *rd2);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so there's two of them and they do the same vibe but very different energy, okay?

ldns_dname_cat_clone()

concatenates two dnames together — like, smashes them into one ✨

• rd1: the leftside
• rd2: the rightside
• Returns a new rdf with leftside/rightside

it's giving "we made a whole new baby dname and left the originals alone" 👑 non-destructive queen behaviour, no cap.

ldns_dname_cat()

concatenates rd2 after rd1 (rd2 is copied, rd1 is modified) 😭

• rd1: the leftside
• rd2: the rightside
• Returns LDNS_STATUS_OK on success

not me pointing out that this one literally rewrites rd1 in place 💀 rd2 gets copied, rd1 gets changed. if you didn't want that, you wanted the clone version. iykyk.
