classmethod from_wire

Method Details

__new__(S, ...)

Returns:
a new object with type S, a subtype of T

to_text(self, origin=None, relativize=1, **kw)

Convert an rdata to text format.
Returns:
string
Overrides:
dns.rdata.Rdata.to_text (inherited documentation)

to_wire(self, file, compress=None, origin=None)

Convert an rdata to wire format.
Returns:
string
Overrides:
dns.rdata.Rdata.to_wire (inherited documentation)

_cmp(self, other)

Compare an rdata with another rdata of the same rdtype and rdclass. Return < 0 if self < other in the DNSSEC ordering, 0 if self == other, and > 0 if self > other.
