DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Routines for interpreting and recording query and reply messages with
     Internet domain name servers.

     p_class returns an	alphanumeric mnemonic for a given class	value.
     Similarly,	p_type returns a mnemonic for the given	type value.  p_time
     returns a human-readable string for a given ttl (time-to-live.)

     p_rr prints a resource record in human-readable form.  The	resource
     record, cp	, is contained in the message msg. p_cdname is a wrapper for
     dn_expand(3). It will uncompress and print	a compressed domain name, cp
     contained in message msg.
