ldns(3)

💖 ldns_dname_new, ldns_dname_new_frm_str, ldns_dname_new_frm_data — create a dname 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ldns(3) library functions manual ✨ this is the corner of the ldns universe where we make brand new dnames from scratch, and honestly? it's giving builder energy 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_rdf* ldns_dname_new(uint16_t s, void *data);

ldns_rdf* ldns_dname_new_frm_str(const char *str);

ldns_rdf* ldns_dname_new_frm_data(uint16_t size, const void *data);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🦋 ldns_dname_new()

bestie, this one creates a new dname rdf from a string. and here's the tea that actually matters: the data pointer is stored in the rdf, it is not a copy of the data 👀 so don't go freeing or shuffling that memory around behind its back, fr fr.

• s — the size of the new dname
• data — pointer to the actual data

Returns ldns_rdf* 💅

🎀 ldns_dname_new_frm_str()

this one creates a new dname rdf from a string, periodt.

• str — string to use

Returns ldns_rdf* or NULL in case of an error 😭 (yes, you have to check. yes, always.)

🧚 ldns_dname_new_frm_data()

creates a new dname rdf from data — and the glow-up here is that the data is copied ✨ so your original buffer stays yours, no strings attached, no shared custody.

• size — the size of the data
• data — pointer to the actual data

Returns ldns_rdf* 💖

and that's the whole page, babe 🥰 this was the 30 May 2006 edition of the ldns(3) manual, straight outta the ldns source code. go forth and build dnames responsibly, and remember: the _new one does NOT copy your data. mwah 💅✨
