NAME
     ldns_rr_descriptor,      ldns_rr_descript,      ldns_rr_descriptor_minimum,
     ldns_rr_descriptor_maximum, ldns_rr_descriptor_field_type - rdata field de-
     scriptors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdint.h>
     #include <stdbool.h>

     #include <ldns/ldns.h>

     const ldns_rr_descriptor* ldns_rr_descript(uint16_t type);

     size_t ldns_rr_descriptor_minimum(const ldns_rr_descriptor *descriptor);

     size_t ldns_rr_descriptor_maximum(const ldns_rr_descriptor *descriptor);

     ldns_rdf_type ldns_rr_descriptor_field_type(const	ldns_rr_descriptor  *de-
     scriptor, size_t field);

DESCRIPTION
     ldns_rr_descriptor
	    Contains all information about resource record types.

	    This structure contains, for all rr types, the rdata fields that are
	    defined.
	    struct ldns_struct_rr_descriptor
	    {
		 Type of the RR that is described here:
		 ldns_rr_type	 _type;
		 Textual name of the RR type.:
		 const char *_name;
		 Minimum number of rdata fields in the RRs of this type.:
		 uint8_t     _minimum;
		 Maximum number of rdata fields in the RRs of this type.:
		 uint8_t     _maximum;
		 Wireformat  specification  for  the rr, i.e. the types of rdata
	    fields in their respective order.:
		 const ldns_rdf_type *_wireformat;
		 Special rdf types:
		 ldns_rdf_type _variable;
		 Specifies whether compression can be used for dnames in this RR
	    type.:
		 ldns_rr_compress _compress;
		 The number of DNAMEs in the _wireformat string, for parsing.:
		 uint8_t _dname_count;
	    };
	    typedef struct ldns_struct_rr_descriptor ldns_rr_descriptor;

     ldns_rr_descript() returns the resource record descriptor for the given  rr
	    type.

	    type: the type value of the rr type
	    Returns the ldns_rr_descriptor for this type

     ldns_rr_descriptor_minimum()  returns the minimum number of rdata fields of
	    the rr type this descriptor describes.

	    descriptor: for an rr type
	    Returns the minimum number of rdata fields

     ldns_rr_descriptor_maximum() returns the maximum number of rdata fields  of
	    the rr type this descriptor describes.

	    descriptor: for an rr type
	    Returns the maximum number of rdata fields

     ldns_rr_descriptor_field_type()  returns  the  rdf type for the given rdata
	    field number of the rr type for the given descriptor.

	    descriptor: for an rr type
	    field: the field number
	    Returns the rdf type for the field
