=head1 NAME

Net::DNS::Header - DNS packet header class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

C<use Net::DNS::Header;>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A C<Net::DNS::Header> object represents the header portion of a DNS
packet.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

    $header = Net::DNS::Header->new;
    $header = Net::DNS::Header->new(\$data);

Without an argument, C<new> creates a header object appropriate
for making a DNS query.

If C<new> is passed a reference to a scalar containing DNS packet
data, it creates a header object from that data.

Returns B<undef> if unable to create a header object (e.g., if
the data is incomplete).

=head2 id

    print "query id = ", $header->id, "\n";
    $header->id(1234);

Gets or sets the query identification number.

=head2 qr

    print "query response flag = ", $header->qr, "\n";
    $header->qr(0);

Gets or sets the query response flag.

=head2 opcode

    print "query opcode = ", $header->opcode, "\n";
    $header->opcode("UPDATE");

Gets or sets the query opcode (the purpose of the query).

=head2 aa

    print "answer is ", $header->aa ? "" : "non-", "authoritative\n";
    $header->aa(0);

Gets or sets the authoritative answer flag.

=head2 tc

    print "packet is ", $header->tc ? "" : "not ", "truncated\n";
    $header->tc(0);

Gets or sets the truncated packet flag.

=head2 rd

    print "recursion was ", $header->rd ? "" : "not ", "desired\n";
    $header->rd(0);

Gets or sets the recursion desired flag.


=head2 cd

    print "checking was ", $header->cd ? "not" : "", "desired\n";
    $header->cd(0);

Gets or sets the checking disabled flag.



=head2 ra

    print "recursion is ", $header->ra ? "" : "not ", "available\n";
    $header->ra(0);

Gets or sets the recursion available flag.


=head2 ad

    print "The result has ", $header->ad ? "" : "not", "been verified\n"


Relevant in DNSSEC context.

(The AD bit is only set on answers where signatures have been
cryptographically verified or the server is authoritative for the data
and is allowed to set the bit by policy.)


=head2 rcode

    print "query response code = ", $header->rcode, "\n";
    $header->rcode("SERVFAIL");

Gets or sets the query response code (the status of the query).

=head2 ancount, prcount

    print "# of answer records: ", $header->ancount, "\n";

In dynamic update packets, this field is known as C<prcount> and refers
to the number of RRs in the prerequisite section.

=head2 nscount, upcount

    print "# of authority records: ", $header->nscount, "\n";
    $header->nscount(2);

Gets or sets the number of records in the authority section of the packet.

=head2 arcount, adcount

    print "# of additional records: ", $header->arcount, "\n";
    $header->arcount(3);
