Module xfer 

DNS high level transit implimentations.

Primarily there are two types in this module of interest, the DnsMultiplexer type and the DnsHandle type. DnsMultiplexer can be thought of as the state machine responsible for sending and receiving DNS messages. DnsHandle is the type given to API users of the hickory-proto library to send messages into the DnsMultiplexer for delivery. Finally there is the DnsRequest type. This allows for customizations, through DnsRequestOptions, to the delivery of messages via a DnsMultiplexer.

TODO: this module needs some serious refactoring and normalization.

Modules

dns_handle

DnsHandle types perform conversions of the raw DNS messages before sending the messages on the specified streams.

dns_multiplexer

DnsMultiplexer and associated types implement the state machines for sending DNS messages while using the underlying streams.

dns_request

DnsRequest wraps a Message and associates a set of DnsRequestOptions for specifying different transfer options.

dns_response

DnsResponse wraps a Message and any associated connection details

retry_dns_handle

RetryDnsHandle allows for DnsQueries to be reattempted on failure

Structs

BufDnsRequestStreamHandle

Used for associating a name_server to a DnsRequestStreamHandle

BufDnsStreamHandle

A buffering stream bound to a SocketAddr

DnsExchange

This is a generic Exchange implemented over multiplexed DNS connection providers.

DnsExchangeBackground

This background future is responsible for driving all network operations for the DNS protocol.

DnsExchangeConnect

A wrapper for a future DnsExchange connection.

DnsExchangeSend

A Stream that will resolve to Responses after sending the request

FirstAnswerFuture

See FirstAnswer::first_answer

OneshotDnsRequest

A OneshotDnsRequest creates a channel for a response to message

SerialMessage

A DNS message in serialized form, with either the target address or source address

Enums

DnsResponseReceiver

A Stream that wraps a oneshot::Receiver and resolves to items in the inner Stream

Traits

DnsClientStream

A non-multiplexed stream of Serialized DNS messages

DnsRequestSender

Types that implement this are capable of sending a serialized DNS message on a stream

FirstAnswer

Helper trait to convert a Stream of dns response into a Future

Type Aliases

StreamReceiver

Receiver handle for peekable fused SerialMessage channel
