ResolverRecordType

Added in version 2.34.

class ResolverRecordType

The type of record that lookup_records() or lookup_records_async() should retrieve. The records are returned as lists of Variant tuples. Each record type has different values in the variant tuples returned.

SRV records are returned as variants with the signature (qqqs), containing a guint16 with the priority, a guint16 with the weight, a guint16 with the port, and a string of the hostname.

MX records are returned as variants with the signature (qs), representing a guint16 with the preference, and a string containing the mail exchanger hostname.

TXT records are returned as variants with the signature (as), representing an array of the strings in the text record. Note: Most TXT records only contain a single string, but RFC 1035 does allow a record to contain multiple strings. The RFC which defines the interpretation of a specific TXT record will likely require concatenation of multiple strings if they are present, as with RFC 7208.

SOA records are returned as variants with the signature (ssuuuuu), representing a string containing the primary name server, a string containing the administrator, the serial as a guint32, the refresh interval as a guint32, the retry interval as a guint32, the expire timeout as a guint32, and the TTL as a guint32.

NS records are returned as variants with the signature (s), representing a string of the hostname of the name server.
