source

impl DnsHeader

source

pub fn serialize(&self, target: &mut Vec<u8, Global>)

Serialize a DnsHeader into a vector of bytes.

Usefult when you need to be able to apend the bytes to an existing Vec<u8, in any other case the From trait is implemented to be able to convert from an DnsHeader to an Vec<u8>.
