# Zonemaster::LDNS::RR::SPF(3pm)

Type SPF record

## NAME

Zonemaster::LDNS::RR::SPF - Type SPF record

## DESCRIPTION

A subclass of Zonemaster::LDNS::RR, so it has all the methods of that class available in addition to the ones documented here.

## METHODS

- **spfdata()**

  Returns the concatenation of all the strings composing the data of the resource record.

  For example, if an SPF resource record has the following presentation format:

  ```
      test.example. 3600 IN SPF "v=spf1 " "mx " "a " "-all"
  ```

  then `spfdata()` returns the string `"v=spf1 mx a -all"`.
