//----------- Ptr ------------------------------------------------------------
/// A pointer to another domain name.
///
/// A [`Ptr`] record is used with special domain names for pointing to other
/// locations in the domain name space. It is conventionally used for reverse
/// lookups: for example, the [`Ptr`] record for `<addr>.in-addr.arpa` points
/// to the domain name using the IPv4 `<addr>` in an [`A`] record. The same
/// technique works with `<addr>.ip6.arpa` for IPv6 addresses.
///
/// [`A`]: crate::new::rdata::A
///
/// [`Ptr`] is specified by [RFC 1035, section 3.3.12].
///
/// [RFC 1035, section 3.3.12]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035#section-3.3.12
///
/// ## Wire format
///
/// The wire format of a [`Ptr`] record is simply the domain name of the name
/// server. This domain name may be compressed in DNS messages.
///
/// ## Usage
///
/// Because [`Ptr`] is a record data type, it is usually handled within
/// an enum like [`RecordData`]. This section describes how to use it
/// independently (or when building new record data from scratch).
///
/// [`RecordData`]: crate::new::rdata::RecordData
///
/// In order to build a [`Ptr`], it's first important to choose a domain name
/// type. For short-term usage (where the [`Ptr`] is a local variable), it is
/// common to pick [`RevNameBuf`]. If the [`Ptr`] will be placed on the heap,
/// <code>Box<[`RevName`]></code> will be more efficient.
///
/// [`RevName`]: crate::new::base::name::RevName
/// [`RevNameBuf`]: crate::new::base::name::RevNameBuf
///
/// The primary way to build a new [`Ptr`] is to construct each field manually.
/// To parse a [`Ptr`] from a DNS message, use [`ParseMessageBytes`]. In case
/// the input bytes don't use name compression, [`ParseBytes`] can be used.
///
/// ```
/// # use domain::new::base::name::{Name, RevNameBuf};
/// # use domain::new::base::wire::{BuildBytes, ParseBytes, ParseBytesZC};
/// # use domain::new::rdata::Ptr;
/// #
/// // Build a 'Ptr' manually:
/// let manual: Ptr<RevNameBuf> = Ptr {
/// name: "example.org".parse().unwrap(),
/// };
///
/// // Its wire format serialization looks like:
/// let bytes = b"\x07example\x03org\x00";
/// # let mut buffer = [0u8; 13];
/// # manual.build_bytes(&mut buffer).unwrap();
/// # assert_eq!(*bytes, buffer);
///
/// // Parse a 'Ptr' from the wire format, without name decompression:
/// let from_wire: Ptr<RevNameBuf> = Ptr::parse_bytes(bytes).unwrap();
/// # assert_eq!(manual, from_wire);
///
/// // See 'ParseMessageBytes' for parsing with name decompression.
/// ```
///
/// Since [`Ptr`] is a sized type, and it implements [`Copy`] and [`Clone`],
/// it's straightforward to handle and move around. However, this depends on
/// the domain name type. It can be changed using [`Ptr::map_name()`] and
/// [`Ptr::map_name_by_ref()`].
///
/// For debugging, [`Ptr`] can be formatted using [`fmt::Debug`].
///
/// [`fmt::Debug`]: core::fmt::Debug
///
/// To serialize a [`Ptr`] in the wire format, use [`BuildInMessage`] (which
/// supports name compression). If name compression is not desired, use
/// [`BuildBytes`].
