Detailed Description

Representing DNS record other than DNS query

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCustomDnsClass()

uint16_t pcpp::DnsResource::getCustomDnsClass ( ) const

Some records don't have a DNS class and the bytes used for storing the DNS class are used for other purpose. This method enables the user to receive these bytes

Returns: The value stored in this place

◆ getData()

DnsResourceDataPtr pcpp::DnsResource::getData ( ) const

Returns

A smart pointer to an IDnsResourceData object that contains the DNS resource data. It is guaranteed that the smart pointer will always point to an object and never to NULL. The specific object type depends on the DNS type of this record:

For type A (DNS_TYPE_A): the return value is a smart pointer to IPv4DnsResourceData object that contains the IPv4 address
For type AAAA (DNS_TYPE_AAAA): the return value is a smart pointer to IPv6DnsResourceData object that contains the IPv6 address
For types NS, CNAME, DNAME, PTR (DNS_TYPE_NS, DNS_TYPE_CNAME, DNS_TYPE_DNAM, DNS_TYPE_PTR): the return value is a smart pointer to StringDnsResourceData object that contains the name
For type MX (DNS_TYPE_MX): the return value is a smart pointer to MxDnsResourceData object that contains the MX data (preference and mail exchange name)
For all other types: the return value is a smart pointer to GenericDnsResourceData which contains a byte array of the data

◆ getDataLength()

size_t pcpp::DnsResource::getDataLength ( ) const

Returns: The data length value for this record (taken from the "data length" field of the record)

◆ getDataOffset()

size_t pcpp::DnsResource::getDataOffset ( ) const

Returns: The offset of data in the DNS layer

◆ getSize()

virtual size_t pcpp::DnsResource::getSize ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns: The total size in bytes of this record

Implements pcpp::IDnsResource.

◆ getTTL()

uint32_t pcpp::DnsResource::getTTL ( ) const

Returns: The time-to-leave value for this record

◆ getType()

virtual DnsResourceType pcpp::DnsResource::getType ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns: The type of this record (query, answer, authority, additional)

Implements pcpp::IDnsResource.

◆ setCustomDnsClass()

void pcpp::DnsResource::setCustomDnsClass ( uint16_t customValue )

Some records don't have a DNS class and the bytes used for storing the DNS class are used for other purpose. This method enables the user to set these bytes

Parameters

[in] customValue The value to set

◆ setData()

bool pcpp::DnsResource::setData ( IDnsResourceData * data )

Set resource data. The given IDnsResourceData input object is validated against the DNS type of the resource. For example: if DNS type is A and data isn't of type IPv4DnsResourceData (which contains the IPv4 address) a log error will be printed and the method will return false. This method currently supports the following DNS types:

DNS_TYPE_A (IPv4 address) - data is expected to be a pointer to IPv4DnsResourceData with a valid IPv4 address
DNS_TYPE_AAAA (IPv6 address) - data is expected to be a pointer to IPv6DnsResourceData with a valid IPv6 address
DNS_TYPE_NS, DNS_TYPE_CNAME, DNS_TYPE_DNAM, DNS_TYPE_PTR (name data) - data is expected to be a pointer to StringDnsResourceData object that contains a host name, e.g: 'www.google.com'
DNS_TYPE_MX (MX data) - data is expected to be a pointer to MxDnsResourceData object that contains the MX data
else: data is expected to be a pointer to GenericDnsResourceData object that contains a valid hex string (valid hex string means a string which has an even number of characters representing a valid hex data. e.g: '0d0a45569a9b')
Parameters

[in] data The pointer to the data object, as described above

Returns
True if data was properly set or false if data is illegal or method couldn't extend or shorted the packet (appropriate error log is printed in all cases)

◆ setTTL()

void pcpp::DnsResource::setTTL ( uint32_t newTTL )

Set time-to-leave value for this record
