Class Rdataset

Overrides: set.Set.__eq__

Create a new rdataset of the specified class and type.

*rdclass*, an ``int``, the rdataclass.

*rdtype*, an ``int``, the rdatatype.

*covers*, an ``int``, the covered rdatatype.

*ttl*, an ``int``, the TTL.

Overrides: object.__init__

Overrides: set.Set.__ne__

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__

(inherited documentation)

str(x)

Overrides: object.__str__

(inherited documentation)

Add the specified rdata to the rdataset.

If the optional *ttl* parameter is supplied, then ``self.update_ttl(ttl)`` will be called prior to adding the rdata.

*rd*, a ``dns.rdata.Rdata``, the rdata

*ttl*, an ``int``, the TTL.

Raises ``dns.rdataset.IncompatibleTypes`` if the type and class do not match the type and class of the rdataset.

Raises ``dns.rdataset.DifferingCovers`` if the type is a signature type and the covered type does not match that of the rdataset.

Overrides: set.Set.add

Update the set, removing any elements from other which are not in both sets.

Overrides: set.Set.intersection_update

(inherited documentation)

Convert the rdataset into DNS master file format.

See ``dns.name.Name.choose_relativity`` for more information on how *origin* and *relativize* determine the way names are emitted.

Any additional keyword arguments are passed on to the rdata ``to_text()`` method.

*name*, a ``dns.name.Name``. If name is not ``None``, emit RRs with *name* as the owner name.

*origin*, a ``dns.name.Name`` or ``None``, the origin for relative names.

*relativize*, a ``bool``. If ``True``, names will be relativized to *origin*.

Convert the rdataset to wire format.

*name*, a ``dns.name.Name`` is the owner name to use.

*file* is the file where the name is emitted (typically a BytesIO file).

*compress*, a ``dict``, is the compression table to use. If ``None`` (the default), names will not be compressed.

*origin* is a ``dns.name.Name`` or ``None``. If the name is relative and origin is not ``None``, then *origin* will be appended to it.

*override_rdclass*, an ``int``, is used as the class instead of the class of the rdataset. This is useful when rendering rdatasets associated with dynamic updates.

*want_shuffle*, a ``bool``. If ``True``, then the order of the Rdatas within the Rdataset will be shuffled before rendering.

Returns an ``int``, the number of records emitted.

Update the set, adding any elements from other which are not already in the set.

Overrides: set.Set.union_update

(inherited documentation)

Add all rdatas in other to self.

*other*, a ``dns.rdataset.Rdataset``, the rdataset from which to update.

Overrides: set.Set.update

Perform TTL minimization.

Set the TTL of the rdataset to be the lesser of the set's current TTL or the specified TTL. If the set contains no rdatas, set the TTL to the specified TTL.

*ttl*, an ``int``.
