Description

A thread-safe DNS library for both clients and servers written in pure Haskell. The Network.DNS module re-exports all other exposed modules for convenience. Applications will most likely use the high-level interface, while library/daemon authors may need to use the lower-level one. EDNS0 and TCP fallback are not supported yet.

# High level

module Network.DNS.Lookup

The Network.DNS.Lookup module contains simple functions to perform various DNS lookups. If you simply want to resolve a hostname (`lookupA`), or find a domain's MX record (`lookupMX`), this is the easiest way to do it.

module Network.DNS.Resolver

The Network.DNS.Resolver module is slightly more low-level than Network.DNS.Lookup. If you need to do something unusual, you may need to use the `lookup`, `lookupAuth`, or `lookupRaw` functions.

module Network.DNS.Utils

The Network.DNS.Utils module contains utility functions used for processing DNS data.

module Network.DNS.Types

All of the types that the other modules use.

# Low level

module Network.DNS.Decode

Decoding a response.

module Network.DNS.Encode

Encoding a query.
