char rr_type::name[9]

RR type name. This is the name of the RR type. This information is case-insensitive, though by convention all RR types have an uppercase name. Definition at line 64 of file rr.h.

Each possible type has its own code: d for a domain name, i for a ip number s for a short number (16-bit unsigned) l for a long number (32-bit unsigned) c for a chararacter string h for multiple character strings n for a NULL RR w for a well-known services list 6 for an IPv6 address 7 for an IPv6 prefix m for an email-address. o for LOC information Definition at line 92 of file rr.h.
