A domain name

Implementations

Create a new domain::Name, i.e. label

Returns the root label, i.e. no labels, can probably make this better in the future.

Returns true if there are no labels, i.e. it’s empty.

In DNS the root is represented by .

Examples
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let root = Name::root();
assert_eq!(&root.to_string(), ".");

Returns true if the name is a fully qualified domain name.

If this is true, it has effects like only querying for this single name, as opposed to building up a search list in resolvers.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("www").unwrap();
assert!(!name.is_fqdn());

let name = Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap();
assert!(!name.is_fqdn());

let name = Name::from_str("www.example.com.").unwrap();
assert!(name.is_fqdn());

Specifies this name is a fully qualified domain name

warning: this interface is unstable and may change in the future

Returns an iterator over the labels

Appends the label to the end of this name

Example
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("www.example").unwrap();
let name = name.append_label("com").unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap());

Creates a new Name from the specified labels

Arguments
  • labels - vector of items which will be stored as Strings.
Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

// From strings, uses utf8 conversion
let from_labels = Name::from_labels(vec!["www", "example", "com"]).unwrap();
assert_eq!(from_labels, Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap());

// Force a set of bytes into labels (this is none-standard and potentially dangerous)
let from_labels = Name::from_labels(vec!["bad chars".as_bytes(), "example".as_bytes(), "com".as_bytes()]).unwrap();
assert_eq!(from_labels.iter().next(), Some(&b"bad chars"[..]));

let root = Name::from_labels(Vec::<&str>::new()).unwrap();
assert!(root.is_root());

Appends other to self, returning a new Name

Carries forward is_fqdn from other.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let local = Name::from_str("www").unwrap();
let domain = Name::from_str("example.com").unwrap();
assert!(!domain.is_fqdn());

let name = local.clone().append_name(&domain).unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap());
assert!(!name.is_fqdn());

// see also `Name::append_domain`
let domain = Name::from_str("example.com.").unwrap();
assert!(domain.is_fqdn());
let name = local.append_name(&domain).unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, Name::from_str("www.example.com.").unwrap());
assert!(name.is_fqdn());

Appends the domain to self, making the new Name an FQDN

This is an alias for append_name with the added effect of marking the new Name as a fully-qualified-domain-name.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let local = Name::from_str("www").unwrap();
let domain = Name::from_str("example.com").unwrap();
let name = local.append_domain(&domain).unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap());
assert!(name.is_fqdn())

Creates a new Name with all labels lowercased

Examples
use std::cmp::Ordering;
use std::str::FromStr;

use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::{Label, Name};

let example_com = Name::from_ascii("Example.Com").unwrap();
assert_eq!(example_com.cmp_case(&Name::from_str("example.com").unwrap()), Ordering::Less);
assert!(example_com.to_lowercase().eq_case(&Name::from_str("example.com").unwrap()));

Trims off the first part of the name, to help with searching for the domain piece

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let example_com = Name::from_str("example.com.").unwrap();
assert_eq!(example_com.base_name(), Name::from_str("com.").unwrap());
assert_eq!(Name::from_str("com.").unwrap().base_name(), Name::root());
assert_eq!(Name::root().base_name(), Name::root());

Trims to the number of labels specified

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let example_com = Name::from_str("example.com.").unwrap();
assert_eq!(example_com.trim_to(2), Name::from_str("example.com.").unwrap());
assert_eq!(example_com.trim_to(1), Name::from_str("com.").unwrap());
assert_eq!(example_com.trim_to(0), Name::root());
assert_eq!(example_com.trim_to(3), Name::from_str("example.com.").unwrap());

same as zone_of allows for case sensitive call

returns true if the name components of self are all present at the end of name

Example
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap();
let name = Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap();
let zone = Name::from_str("example.com").unwrap();
let another = Name::from_str("example.net").unwrap();
assert!(zone.zone_of(&name));
assert!(!name.zone_of(&zone));
assert!(!another.zone_of(&name));

Returns the number of labels in the name, discounting *.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let root = Name::root();
assert_eq!(root.num_labels(), 0);

let example_com = Name::from_str("example.com").unwrap();
assert_eq!(example_com.num_labels(), 2);

let star_example_com = Name::from_str("*.example.com.").unwrap();
assert_eq!(star_example_com.num_labels(), 2);

returns the length in bytes of the labels. ‘.’ counts as 1

This can be used as an estimate, when serializing labels, they will often be compressed and/or escaped causing the exact length to be different.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

assert_eq!(Name::from_str("www.example.com.").unwrap().len(), 16);
assert_eq!(Name::from_str(".").unwrap().len(), 1);
assert_eq!(Name::root().len(), 1);

Returns whether the length of the labels, in bytes is 0. In practice, since ‘.’ counts as 1, this is never the case so the method returns false.

attempts to parse a name such as "example.com." or "subdomain.example.com."

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::domain::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("example.com.").unwrap();
assert_eq!(name.base_name(), Name::from_str("com.").unwrap());
assert_eq!(name.iter().next(), Some(&b"example"[..]));

Will convert the string to a name only allowing ascii as valid input

This method will also preserve the case of the name where that’s desirable

Examples
use trust_dns_proto::rr::Name;

let bytes_name = Name::from_labels(vec!["WWW".as_bytes(), "example".as_bytes(), "COM".as_bytes()]).unwrap();
let ascii_name = Name::from_ascii("WWW.example.COM.").unwrap();
let lower_name = Name::from_ascii("www.example.com.").unwrap();

assert!(bytes_name.eq_case(&ascii_name));
assert!(!lower_name.eq_case(&ascii_name));

// escaped values
let bytes_name = Name::from_labels(vec!["email.name".as_bytes(), "example".as_bytes(), "com".as_bytes()]).unwrap();
let name = Name::from_ascii("email\\.name.example.com.").unwrap();

assert_eq!(bytes_name, name);

let bytes_name = Name::from_labels(vec!["bad.char".as_bytes(), "example".as_bytes(), "com".as_bytes()]).unwrap();
let name = Name::from_ascii("bad\\056char.example.com.").unwrap();

assert_eq!(bytes_name, name);

Will convert the string to a name using IDNA, punycode, to encode the UTF8 as necessary

When making names IDNA compatible, there is a side-effect of lowercasing the name.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::Name;

let bytes_name = Name::from_labels(vec!["WWW".as_bytes(), "example".as_bytes(), "COM".as_bytes()]).unwrap();

// from_str calls through to from_utf8
let utf8_name = Name::from_str("WWW.example.COM.").unwrap();
let lower_name = Name::from_str("www.example.com.").unwrap();

assert!(!bytes_name.eq_case(&utf8_name));
assert!(lower_name.eq_case(&utf8_name));

First attempts to decode via from_utf8, if that fails IDNA checks, then falls back to ascii decoding.

Examples
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::Name;

// Ok, underscore in the beginning of a name
assert!(Name::from_utf8("_allows.example.com.").is_ok());

// Error, underscore in the end
assert!(Name::from_utf8("dis_allowed.example.com.").is_err());

// Ok, relaxed mode
assert!(Name::from_str_relaxed("allow_in_.example.com.").is_ok());

Emits the canonical version of the name to the encoder.

In canonical form, there will be no pointers written to the encoder (i.e. no compression).

Writes the labels, as lower case, to the encoder

Arguments
  • encoder - encoder for writing this name
  • lowercase - if true the name will be lowercased, otherwise it will not be changed when writing

Case sensitive comparison

Compares the Names, in a case sensitive manner

Converts this name into an ascii safe string.

If the name is an IDNA name, then the name labels will be returned with the xn-- prefix. see to_utf8 or the Display impl for methods which convert labels to utf8.

Converts the Name labels to the utf8 String form.

This converts the name to an unescaped format, that could be used with parse. If, the name is is followed by the final ., e.g. as in www.example.com., which represents a fully qualified Name.

Converts a *.arpa Name in a PTR record back into an IpNet if possible.

Returns true if the Name is either localhost or in the localhost zone.

Example
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("localhost").unwrap();
assert!(name.is_localhost());

let name = Name::from_str("localhost.").unwrap();
assert!(name.is_localhost());

let name = Name::from_str("my.localhost.").unwrap();
assert!(name.is_localhost());

True if the first label of this name is the wildcard, i.e. ‘*’

Example
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap();
assert!(!name.is_wildcard());

let name = Name::from_str("*.example.com").unwrap();
assert!(name.is_wildcard());

let name = Name::root();
assert!(!name.is_wildcard());

Converts a name to a wildcard, by replacing the first label with *

Example
use std::str::FromStr;
use trust_dns_proto::rr::Name;

let name = Name::from_str("www.example.com").unwrap().into_wildcard();
assert_eq!(name, Name::from_str("*.example.com.").unwrap());

// does nothing if the root
let name = Name::root().into_wildcard();
assert_eq!(name, Name::root());

RFC 4034 DNSSEC Resource Records March 2005

6.1.  Canonical DNS Name Order

 For the purposes of DNS security, owner names are ordered by treating
 individual labels as unsigned left-justified octet strings.  The
 absence of a octet sorts before a zero value octet, and uppercase
 US-ASCII letters are treated as if they were lowercase US-ASCII
 letters.

 To compute the canonical ordering of a set of DNS names, start by
 sorting the names according to their most significant (rightmost)
 labels.  For names in which the most significant label is identical,
 continue sorting according to their next most significant label, and
 so forth.

 For example, the following names are sorted in canonical DNS name
 order.  The most significant label is "example".  At this level,
 "example" sorts first, followed by names ending in "a.example", then
 by names ending "z.example".  The names within each level are sorted
 in the same way.

           example
           a.example
           yljkjljk.a.example
           Z.a.example
           zABC.a.EXAMPLE
           z.example
           \001.z.example
           *.z.example
