DESCRIPTION
       ldns_rr_new() creates a new rr structure.
              Returns ldns_rr *

       ldns_rr_new_frm_type() creates a new rr structure, based on the given
              type.  alloc enough space to hold all the rdf's

       ldns_rr_new_frm_str() creates an rr from a string.  The string should
              be a fully filled-in rr, like ownername &lt;space&gt; TTL
              &lt;space&gt; CLASS &lt;space&gt; TYPE &lt;space&gt; RDATA.
              n: the rr to return
              str: the string to convert
              default_ttl: default ttl value for the rr.  If 0 DEF_TTL will be
              used
              origin: when the owner is relative add this.  The caller must
              ldns_rdf_deep_free it.
              prev: the previous ownername. if this value is not NULL, the
              function overwrites this with the ownername found in this
              string. The caller must then ldns_rdf_deep_free it.
              Returns a status msg describing an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

       ldns_rr_new_frm_fp() creates a new rr from a file containing a string.
              rr: the new rr
              fp: the file pointer to use
              default_ttl: pointer to a default ttl for the rr. If NULL
              DEF_TTL will be used the pointer will be updated if the file
              contains a $TTL directive
              origin: when the owner is relative add this the pointer will be
              updated if the file contains a $ORIGIN directive The caller must
              ldns_rdf_deep_free it.
              prev: when the owner is whitespaces use this as the * ownername
              the pointer will be updated after the call The caller must
              ldns_rdf_deep_free it.
              Returns a ldns_status with an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

       ldns_rr_free() frees an RR structure
              *rr: the RR to be freed
              Returns void

       ldns_rr_print() Prints the data in the resource record to the given
              file stream (in presentation format)

              output: the file stream to print to
              rr: the resource record to print
              Returns void
