Detailed Description

A class that represents DNS RR mail exchange (MX) data, used in DNS RRs of type DNS_TYPE_MX

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MxDnsResourceData() [1/2]

pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::MxDnsResourceData	(	uint8_t *	dataPtr,
		size_t	dataLen,
		IDnsResource *	dnsResource
	)

A c'tor for this class

Parameters

[in]	dataPtr	A byte array that contains the raw MX data (as written in the DNS packet)
[in]	dataLen	The byte array size
[in]	dnsResource	A pointer to a DNS resource object where this DNS RR data will be stored

MxDnsResourceData() [2/2]

pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::MxDnsResourceData	(	const uint16_t &	preference,
		const std::string &	mailExchange
	)

A c'tor for this class

Parameters

[in]	preference	The MX preference value to store in this object
[in]	mailExchange	The MX hostname value to store in this object. It's possible to include a pointer to another string in the DNS layer (as explained here: http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch15/#name). These pointers are often used to reduce the DNS packet size and avoid unnecessary duplications. The way to include pointers in the hostname string is to use the following format: 'some.domain.#{offset}' where '#{offset}' is the offset from the start of the DNS layer. For example: if the string 'yahoo.com' already appears in offset 12 in the packet and you want to set the DNS RR data as 'my.subdomain.yahoo.com' you may use the following string: 'my.subdomain.#12'. This will result in writing 'my.subdomain' and a pointer to offset 12

Member Function Documentation

getMxData()

MxData pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::getMxData ( )

inline

Returns

The MX data stored in this object

operator==()

bool pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::operator==

(

const MxDnsResourceData &

other

)

const

Equality operator overload for this class that compares the MX data stored in each object

Parameters

[in]

other

The object to compare with

Returns

True if MX data is the same in both objects, meaning both preference and MX hostname are the same, false otherwise

setMxData()

void pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::setMxData	(	uint16_t	preference,
		std::string	mailExchange
	)

Set the MX data stored in this object

Parameters

[in]	preference	The MX preference value to store in this object
[in]	mailExchange	The MX hostname value to store in this object

toByteArr()

bool pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::toByteArr ( uint8_t *  arr, size_t &  arrLength, IDnsResource *  dnsResource  )

virtual

Convert the DNS RR data into a byte array

Parameters

[out]	arr	A pointer to a pre-allocated byte array where the result will be written to
[out]	arrLength	A reference to a 2-byte number where the result array length will be written to
[in]	dnsResource	A pointer to a DNS resource object where this DNS RR data will be stored

Returns

True if the DNS RR data was successfully converted into a byte array and written to the given array or false if stored DNS RR data is invalid or if it could not be written to the given array

Implements pcpp::IDnsResourceData.

toString()

std::string pcpp::MxDnsResourceData::toString ( )

virtual

A string representation of the MX data stored in this object. The string format is as follows: 'pref: {preference_value}; mx: {mail_exchange_hostname_value}'

Implements pcpp::IDnsResourceData.
