💖 ldns(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ldns(3) manual page — library functions manual energy, but make it cute. this one's a tiny lil' page about one (1) function and honestly? she's a baddie. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ldns_octet — removes escaped from the input 💅

(no fr that's literally what it says, she removes escapes, that's her whole job, and she ate)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_status ldns_octet(char *word, size_t *length);

look at her. short. iconic. three includes and a function signature. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ldns_octet() removes \\DDD, \\[space] and other escapes from the input. like, she takes the scary backslash-y stuff and just... yeets it. gone. not the vibe anymore. 🎀

peep RFC 1035, section 5.1 for the lore — that's the canon source on escapes, iykyk.

the args, bestie:

• word — what to check 🔍
• length — the string

and she returns ldns_status mesg. that's the return value. that's it. that's the whole tea. 💜
