@classmethod
def fromRRHeader(cls, rrHeader): (source)

A classmethod for constructing a new _OPTHeader from the attributes and payload of an existing RRHeader instance.

Parameters
rrHeader:`RRHeader`	An `RRHeader` instance containing an `UnknownRecord` payload.
Returns
`_OPTHeader`	An instance of `_OPTHeader`.

def __init__(self, udpPayloadSize=4096, extendedRCODE=0, version=0, dnssecOK=False, options=None): (source)

Parameters
udpPayloadSize:`int`	The number of octets of the largest UDP payload that can be reassembled and delivered in the requestor's network stack.
extendedRCODE:`int`	Forms the upper 8 bits of extended 12-bit RCODE (together with the 4 bits defined in [RFC1035]. Note that EXTENDED-RCODE value 0 indicates that an unextended RCODE is in use (values 0 through 15).
version:`int`	Indicates the implementation level of the setter. Full conformance with this specification is indicated by version `0`.
dnssecOK:`bool`	DNSSEC OK bit as defined by [RFC3225].
options:`list`	A `list` of 0 or more `_OPTVariableOption` instances.

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

from twisted.names.dns.IEncodable

Decode bytes into an _OPTHeader instance.

Parameters
strio:file	Bytes will be read from this file until the full `_OPTHeader` is decoded.
length:`int` or `None`	Not used.

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

from twisted.names.dns.IEncodable

Encode this _OPTHeader instance to bytes.

Parameters
strio:file	the byte representation of this `_OPTHeader` will be written to this file.
compDict:`dict` or `None`	A dictionary of backreference addresses that have already been written to this stream and that may be used for DNS name compression.
