# ldns\_dnssec\_name(3)

## NAME

ldns\_dnssec\_zone, ldns\_dnssec\_name, ldns\_dnssec\_rrs, ldns\_dnssec\_rrsets - data structures

 ldns\_dnssec\_zone();

## DESCRIPTION

*ldns\_dnssec\_zone*()

*ldns\_dnssec\_name*\
 Structure containing all resource records for a domain name\
 Including the derived NSEC3, if present\
 struct ldns\_struct\_dnssec\_name\
 {\
\
 	/\*\*\
\
 	 \* pointer to a dname containing the name.\
\
 	 \* Usually points to the owner name of the first RR of the first RRset\
\
 	 \*/\
\
 	ldns\_rdf \*name;\
\
 	/\*\* \
\
 	 \* Usually, the name is a pointer to the owner name of the first rr for\
\
 	 \* this name, but sometimes there is no actual data to point to, \
\
 	 \* for instance in\
\
 	 \* names representing empty nonterminals. If so, set name\_alloced to true to\
\
 	 \* indicate that this data must also be freed when the name is freed\
\
 	 \*/\

 	bool name\_alloced;\
\
 	/\*\*\
\
 	 \* The rrsets for this name\
\
 	 \*/\
\
 	ldns\_dnssec\_rrsets \*rrsets;\
\
 	/\*\*\
\
 	 \* NSEC pointing to the next name (or NSEC3 pointing to the next NSEC3)\
\
 	 \*/\
\
 	ldns\_rr \*nsec;\
\
 	/\*\*\
\
 	 \* signatures for the NSEC record\
\
 	 \*/\
\
 	ldns\_dnssec\_rrs \*nsec\_signatures;\
\
 	/\*\*\
\
 	 \* Unlike what the name is\_glue suggests, this field is set to true by\
\
 	 \* ldns\_dnssec\_zone\_mark\_glue() or ldns\_dnssec\_zone\_mark\_and\_get\_glue()\
\
 	 \* when the name, this dnssec\_name struct represents, is occluded.\
\
 	 \* Names that contain other occluded rrsets and records with glue on\
\
 	 \* the delegation point will NOT have this bool set to true.\
\
 	 \* This field should NOT be read directly, but only via the \
\
 	 \* ldns\_dnssec\_name\_is\_glue() function!\
\
 	 \*/\
\
 	bool is\_glue;\
\
 	/\*\*\
\
 	 \* pointer to store the hashed name (only used when in an NSEC3 zone\
