Method	`decode`	Reconstruct an object from data read from the given file object.
Method	`encode`	Write a representation of this object to the given file object.
Method	`isAuthoritative`	Undocumented
Class Variable	`cachedResponse`	Undocumented
Class Variable	`compareAttributes`	Undocumented
Class Variable	`fmt`	`str` specifying the byte format of an RR.
Instance Variable	`auth`	A `bool` indicating whether this `RRHeader` was parsed from an authoritative message.
Instance Variable	`cls`	The query class of the original request.
Instance Variable	`name`	The name about which this reply contains information.
Instance Variable	`payload`	The record described by this header.
Instance Variable	`rdlength`	Undocumented
Instance Variable	`ttl`	The time-to-live for this record.
Instance Variable	`type`	The query type of the original request.

Inherited from FancyEqMixin:

Method	`__eq__`	Undocumented
Method	`__ne__`	Undocumented

def __init__(self, name=b'', type=A, cls=IN, ttl=0, payload=None, auth=False): (source)

Parameters
name:`bytes` or `str`	See `RRHeader.name`
type:`int`	The query type.
cls:`int`	The query class.
ttl:`int`	Time to live for this record. This will be converted to an `int`.
payload:`IEncodableRecord` or `None`	An optional Query Type specific data object.
auth:`bool`	Undocumented
Raises
`TypeError`	if the ttl cannot be converted to an `int`.
`ValueError`	if the ttl is negative.
`ValueError`	if the payload type is not equal to the `type` argument.

def __str__(self): (source)

Undocumented

Returns
`str`	Undocumented

def decode(self, strio, length=None): (source)

from twisted.names.dns.IEncodable

Reconstruct an object from data read from the given file object.

Parameters
strio:File-like object	A seekable buffer from which bytes may be read.
length:`int` or `None`	The number of bytes in this RDATA field. Most implementations can ignore this value. Only in the case of records similar to TXT where the total length is in no way encoded in the data is it necessary.

def encode(self, strio, compDict=None): (source)

from twisted.names.dns.IEncodable

Write a representation of this object to the given file object.

Parameters
strio:File-like object	The buffer to write to. It must have a `tell()` method.
compDict:`dict` of `bytes` to `int` r `None`	A mapping of names to byte offsets that have already been written to the buffer, which may be used for compression (see RFC 1035 section 4.1.4). When `None`, encode without compression.

def isAuthoritative(self): (source)

overrides twisted.python.util.FancyEqMixin.compareAttributes

Undocumented

fmt: str = (source)

A bool indicating whether this RRHeader was parsed from an authoritative message.

The query class of the original request.

name: Name = (source)

The name about which this reply contains information.

payload: IEncodableRecord or None = (source)

The record described by this header.

rdlength = (source)

Undocumented

ttl: int = (source)

The time-to-live for this record.

type: int = (source)
