Struct trust_dns_proto::op::message::Message

pub struct Message { /* private fields */ }

The basic request and response datastructure, used for all DNS protocols.

RFC 1035, DOMAIN NAMES - IMPLEMENTATION AND SPECIFICATION, November 1987

4.1. Format

All communications inside of the domain protocol are carried in a single
format called a message.  The top level format of message is divided
into 5 sections (some of which are empty in certain cases) shown below:

    +--------------------------+
    |        Header            |
    +--------------------------+
    |  Question / Zone         | the question for the name server
    +--------------------------+
    |   Answer  / Prerequisite | RRs answering the question
    +--------------------------+
    | Authority / Update       | RRs pointing toward an authority
    +--------------------------+
    |      Additional          | RRs holding additional information
    +--------------------------+

The header section is always present.  The header includes fields that
specify which of the remaining sections are present, and also specify
whether the message is a query or a response, a standard query or some
other opcode, etc.

The names of the sections after the header are derived from their use in
standard queries.  The question section contains fields that describe a
question to a name server.  These fields are a query type (QTYPE), a
query class (QCLASS), and a query domain name (QNAME).  The last three
sections have the same format: a possibly empty list of concatenated
resource records (RRs).  The answer section contains RRs that answer the
question; the authority section contains RRs that point toward an
authoritative name server; the additional records section contains RRs
which relate to the query, but are not strictly answers for the
question.

By default Message is a Query. Use the Message::as_update() to create and update, or Message::new_update()

pub fn edns(&self) -> Option<&Edns>

RFC 6891, EDNS(0) Extensions, April 2013

6.1.1.  Basic Elements

 An OPT pseudo-RR (sometimes called a meta-RR) MAY be added to the
 additional data section of a request.

 The OPT RR has RR type 41.

 If an OPT record is present in a received request, compliant
 responders MUST include an OPT record in their respective responses.

 An OPT record does not carry any DNS data.  It is used only to
 contain control information pertaining to the question-and-answer
 sequence of a specific transaction.  OPT RRs MUST NOT be cached,
 forwarded, or stored in or loaded from Zone Files.

 The OPT RR MAY be placed anywhere within the additional data section.
 When an OPT RR is included within any DNS message, it MUST be the
 only OPT RR in that message.  If a query message with more than one
 OPT RR is received, a FORMERR (RCODE=1) MUST be returned.  The
 placement flexibility for the OPT RR does not override the need for
 the TSIG or SIG(0) RRs to be the last in the additional section
 whenever they are present.

Return value

Returns the EDNS record if it was found in the additional section.

pub fn edns_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Edns

If edns is_none, this will create a new default Edns.

pub fn max_payload(&self) -> u16

Return value

the max payload value as it’s defined in the EDNS section.

pub fn version(&self) -> u8

Return value

the version as defined in the EDNS record

pub fn sig0(&self) -> &[Record]

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

A DNS request may be optionally signed by including one or more SIGs
 at the end of the query. Such SIGs are identified by having a "type
 covered" field of zero. They sign the preceding DNS request message
 including DNS header but not including the IP header or any request
 SIGs at the end and before the request RR counts have been adjusted
 for the inclusions of any request SIG(s).

Return value

The sig0 and tsig, i.e. signed record, for verifying the sending and package integrity

pub fn signature(&self) -> &[Record]

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

 including DNS header but not including the IP header or any request
 SIGs at the end and before the request RR counts have been adjusted
 for the inclusions of any request SIG(s).

Return value

Methods from Deref<Target = Header>

pub fn flags(&self) -> Flags

pub fn id(&self) -> u16

ID              A 16 bit identifier assigned by the program that
                generates any kind of query.  This identifier is copied
                the corresponding reply and can be used by the requester
                to match up replies to outstanding queries.

pub fn message_type(&self) -> MessageType

QR              A one bit field that specifies whether this message is a
                query (0), or a response (1).

pub fn op_code(&self) -> OpCode

OPCODE          A four bit field that specifies kind of query in this
                message.  This value is set by the originator of a query
                and copied into the response.  The values are: <see super::op_code>

pub fn authoritative(&self) -> bool

AA              Authoritative Answer - this bit is valid in responses,
                and specifies that the responding name server is an
                authority for the domain name in question section.

                Note that the contents of the answer section may have
                multiple owner names because of aliases.  The AA bit
                corresponds to the name which matches the query name, or
                the first owner name in the answer section.

pub fn truncated(&self) -> bool

TC              TrunCation - specifies that this message was truncated
                due to length greater than that permitted on the
                transmission channel.

pub fn recursion_desired(&self) -> bool

RD              Recursion Desired - this bit may be set in a query and
                is copied into the response.  If RD is set, it directs
                the name server to pursue the query recursively.
                Recursive query support is optional.

pub fn recursion_available(&self) -> bool

RA              Recursion Available - this be is set or cleared in a
                response, and denotes whether recursive query support is
                available in the name server.

pub fn authentic_data(&self) -> bool

RFC 4035, DNSSEC Resource Records, March 2005

3.1.6.  The AD and CD Bits in an Authoritative Response

  The CD and AD bits are designed for use in communication between
  security-aware resolvers and security-aware recursive name servers.
  These bits are for the most part not relevant to query processing by
  security-aware authoritative name servers.

  A security-aware name server does not perform signature validation
  for authoritative data during query processing, even when the CD bit
  is clear.  A security-aware name server SHOULD clear the CD bit when
  composing an authoritative response.

  A security-aware name server MUST NOT set the AD bit in a response
  unless the name server considers all RRsets in the Answer and
  Authority sections of the response to be authentic.  A security-aware
  name server's local policy MAY consider data from an authoritative
  zone to be authentic without further validation.  However, the name
  server MUST NOT do so unless the name server obtained the
  authoritative zone via secure means (such as a secure zone transfer
  mechanism) and MUST NOT do so unless this behavior has been
  configured explicitly.

  A security-aware name server that supports recursion MUST follow the
  rules for the CD and AD bits given in Section 3.2 when generating a
  response that involves data obtained via recursion.

pub fn checking_disabled(&self) -> bool

see is_authentic_data()

pub fn response_code(&self) -> ResponseCode

RCODE           Response code - this 4 bit field is set as part of
                responses.  The values have the following
                interpretation: <see super::response_code>

pub fn query_count(&self) -> u16

QDCOUNT         an unsigned 16 bit integer specifying the number of
                entries in the question section.

Return value

If this is a query, this will return the number of queries in the query section of the

pub fn answer_count(&self) -> u16

ANCOUNT         an unsigned 16 bit integer specifying the number of
                resource records in the answer section.

pub fn name_server_count(&self) -> u16

for queries this is the nameservers which are authorities for the SOA of the Record for updates this is the update record count

NSCOUNT         an unsigned 16 bit integer specifying the number of name
                server resource records in the authority records
                section.

Return value

For query responses this is the number of authorities, or nameservers, in the name server section, for updates this is the number of update records being sent.

pub fn additional_count(&self) -> u16

ARCOUNT         an unsigned 16 bit integer specifying the number of
                resource records in the additional records section.
