💖 ldns_key2rr — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from ldns(3), the Library Functions Manual, and it's about one (1) tiny little function that does one (1) tiny little thing. but it's an important thing, so let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ldns_key2rr — convert ldns_key to rr. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a converter, she's an icon, she's booked and busy 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_rr* ldns_key2rr(const ldns_key *k);

look at her. short. sweet. takes a const ldns_key *k, hands you back an ldns_rr*. no cap. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so ldns_key2rr() converts a ldns_key to a public key rr. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe.

but — and this is the part where you gotta pay attention bestie, don't scroll past this — if the key data exists at an external point, the corresponding rdata field must still be added with ldns_rr_rdf_push() to the result rr of this function. like, this function does its part, but you still gotta do your part. team effort. main character energy from both of you. 🔥

• k: the ldns_key to convert
• Returns ldns_rr representation of the key

slay. that's the return value. that's what you get. 🌈
