DESCRIPTION
       ldns_pkt
              DNS packet

              This structure contains a complete DNS packet (either a query or
              an answer)

              It is the complete representation of what you actually send to a
              nameserver, and what it sends back (assuming you are the client
              here).
              struct ldns_struct_pkt
              {
                   Header section:
                   ldns_hdr *_header;
                   /* extra items needed in a packet */
                   an rdf (A or AAAA) with the IP address of the server it is
              from:
                   ldns_rdf *_answerfrom;
                      Timestamp of the time the packet was sent or created:
                   struct timeval timestamp;
                   The duration of the query this packet is an answer to:
                   uint32_t _querytime;
                   The size of the wire format of the packet in octets:
                   size_t _size;
                   Optional tsig rr:
                   ldns_rr *_tsig_rr;
                   EDNS0 available buffer size, see RFC2671:
                   uint16_t _edns_udp_size;
                   EDNS0 Extended rcode:
                   uint8_t _edns_extended_rcode;
                   EDNS Version:
                   uint8_t _edns_version;
                      /* OPT pseudo-RR presence flag */
                      uint8_t _edns_present;
                   Reserved EDNS data bits:
                   uint16_t _edns_z;
                   Arbitrary EDNS rdata:
                   ldns_rdf *_edns_data;
                   Question section:
                   ldns_rr_list   *_question;
                   Answer section:
                   ldns_rr_list   *_answer;
                   Authority section:
                   ldns_rr_list   *_authority;
                   Additional section:
                   ldns_rr_list   *_additional;
              };
              typedef struct ldns_struct_pkt ldns_pkt;
