16 * dname contains function to read and manipulate domain names.
18 * Example domain names are "www.nlnetlabs.nl." and "." (the root)
20 * If a domain name ends with a dot ("."), it is called a Fully Qualified
21 * Domain Name (FQDN). In certain places (for instance when reading a zone
22 * file), an origin (which is just another domain name) non-FQDNs will be
23 * placed after the current. For instance, if i have a zone file where the
24 * origin has been set to "nl.", and my file contains the name
25 * "www.nlnetlabs", it will result in "www.nlnetlabs.nl.". Internally, dnames are
26 * always absolute (the dot is added when it is missing and there is no origin).
29 * known as an absolute domain name, therefore the function to check this is
30 * called \ref ldns_dname_str_absolute
32 * Domain names are stored in \ref ldns_rdf structures, with the type
33 * \ref LDNS_RDF_TYPE_DNAME
35 * This module is *NOT* about the RR type called DNAME.
