💖 ldns(3) — the ldns_update_pkt_new era 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ldns(3) library functions manual, this one's all about ldns_update_pkt_new and honestly? it's giving packet-builder energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ldns_update_pkt_new — create an update packet 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_pkt* ldns_update_pkt_new(ldns_rdf *zone_rdf, ldns_rr_class clas,
const ldns_rr_list *pr_rrlist, const ldns_rr_list *up_rrlist, const
ldns_rr_list *ad_rrlist);

like, yes, that's the whole signature. slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ldns_update_pkt_new() literally creates an update packet out of the zone name, the class, and the rr lists. main character function behavior fr fr. 👑

here's the breakdown of what you're feeding it:

• zone_rdf — the name of the zone. 🗺️ and listen, this is important: the returned packet will take ownership of zone_rdf, so the caller should not free it. no cap. hands off, bestie. 🙈
• clas — the zone class.
• pr_rrlist — list of Prerequisite Section RRs.
• up_rrlist — list of Updates Section RRs.
• ad_rrlist — list of Additional Data Section RRs (currently unused 👀).

and it returns the new packet. that's it, that's the vibe. 🌈
