Generate Rdata Class

This class is used for rdata types for which we have no better implementation. It implements the DNS "unknown RRs" scheme.
Method Summary
  __init__(self, rdclass, rdtype, data)
  from_text(cls, rdclass, rdtype, tok, origin, relativize)
(Class method)
  from_wire(cls, rdclass, rdtype, wire, current, rdlen, origin)
(Class method)
string to_text(self, origin, relativize, **kw)
Convert an rdata to text format.
string to_wire(self, file, compress, origin)
Convert an rdata to wire format.
    Inherited from Rdata
  __eq__(self, other)
  __ge__(self, other)
  __gt__(self, other)
  __le__(self, other)
  __lt__(self, other)
  __ne__(self, other)
  __repr__(self)
  __str__(self)
  choose_relativity(self, origin, relativize)
Convert any domain names in the rdata to the specified relativization.
int covers(self)
DNS SIG/RRSIG rdatas apply to a specific type; this type is returned by the covers() function.
int extended_rdatatype(self)
Return a 32-bit type value, the least significant 16 bits of which are the ordinary DNS type, and the upper 16 bits of which are the "covered" type, if any.
  validate(self)
Check that the current contents of the rdata's fields are valid.

x.__hash__() <==> hash(x)
  __new__(T, S, ...)
T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T
