Module message

Accessing existing DNS messages.

This module defines a number of types for processing the content of a DNS message in wire format. Because many components of the message are of varying length, this can only be done iteratively. The type Message wraps an octets sequence containing a complete message. It provides access to the four sections of the message via additional types.

For details, see the Message type.
