ldns(3)

💖 ldns — the library functions manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ldns(3), the Library Functions Manual page. this is the part of the ldns world where we talk about one single function and honestly? it's a cute one. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ldns_rdf_address_reverse — reverse an address rdf 🔄

like. that's it. that's the whole name. iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the vibes, in code form 🎀

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_rdf* ldns_rdf_address_reverse(const ldns_rdf *rd);

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so ldns_rdf_address_reverse() reverses an rdf. yes, reverses. and lowkey? it's only actually useful for AAAA and A records. everything else is just kinda standing there 💀

the tea you NEED to know: the returned rdf has the type LDNS_RDF_TYPE_DNAME! not whatever type you handed in. it comes back as a DNAME. periodt.

here's the deets on the argument and the return, in the original order:

• *rd — the rdf to be reversed 🧚
• Returns the reversed rdf (a newly created rdf) ✨

so yeah, it hands you a brand new rdf. main character energy. you didn't get your old one back, you got a glow-up version 🦋
