//! Accessing existing DNS messages.
//!
//! This module defines a number of types for processing the content of a DNS
//! message in wire format. Because many components of the message are of
//! varying length, this can only be done iteratively. The type [`Message`]
//! wraps an octets sequence containing a complete message. It provides access
//! to the four sections of the message via additional types.
//!
//! For details, see the [`Message`] type.

//------------ Message -------------------------------------------------------

/// A DNS message.
///
/// This type wraps an octets sequence containing the complete wire-format DNS
/// message and allows access to the various components of the message.
///
/// You create a message by passing an octets sequence to the [`from_octets`]
/// associate function which does some basic sanity checks and, if they
/// succeed, returns a message for the sequence. All further parsing happens
/// lazily when you access more of the message. This means that a message is
/// not necessarily well-formatted and further parsing may fail later on.
///
/// Section 4 of [RFC 1035] defines DNS messages as being divded into five
/// sections named header, question, answer, authority, and additional.
///
/// The header section is of a fixed sized and can be accessed at any time
/// through the methods given under [Header Section]. Most likely, you will
/// be interested in the first part of the header which is
/// returned by the [`header`] method.  The second part of the header
/// section contains the number of entries in the following four sections
/// and is of less interest as there are more sophisticated ways of accessing
/// these sections. If you do care, you can get access through
/// [`header_counts`].
///
/// The meaning of the next four sections depends on the type of message as
/// described by the [opcode] field of the header. Since the most common
/// type is a query, the sections are named after their function in this type
/// and the following description will focus on it.
///
/// The question section contains what was asked of the DNS by a query. It
/// contains a number of questions that consist of a domain name, a record
/// type, and class. A query asks for all records of the given record type
/// that are owned by the domain name within the class. In queries, there will
/// be exactly one question. With other opcodes, there may be multiple
/// questions.
///
/// You can acquire an iterator over the questions through the [`question`]
/// method. It returns a [`QuestionSection`] value that is an iterator over
/// questions. Since a single question is such a common case, there is a
/// convenience method [`first_question`] that returns the first question
/// only.
///
/// The following three section all contain DNS resource records. In
/// queries, they are empty in a request and may or may not contain records
/// in a response. The *answer* section contains all the records that answer
/// the given question. The *authority* section contains records declaring
/// which name server provided authoritative information for the question,
/// and the *additional* section can contain records that the name server
/// thought might be useful for processing the question. For instance, if you
/// trying to find out the mail server of a domain by asking for MX records,
/// you likely also want the IP addresses for the server, so the name server
/// may include these right away and free of charge.
///
/// There are functions to access all three sections directly: [`answer`],
/// [`authority`], and [`additional`]. Each method returns a value of type
/// [RecordSection] which acts as an iterator over the records in the
/// section. Since there are no pointers to where the later sections start,
/// accessing them directly means iterating over the previous sections. This
/// is why it is more efficitent to call [`RecordSection::next_section`] to
/// progress to a later section. Alternatively, you can use the message’s
/// [`sections`] method that gives you all four sections at once with the
/// minimal amount of iterating necessary.
///
/// When iterating over the record section, you will receive values of type
/// [`ParsedRecord`], an intermediary type that only parsed the parts common
/// to all records. In order to access the data of the record, you will want
/// to convert it into a [`Record`] which is generic over the actual record
/// type data. This can be done via [`ParsedRecord::into_record`].
///
/// Alternatively, you can trade the record section for one that only returns
/// the types you are interested in via the [`RecordSection::limit_to`]
/// method. The iterator returned by that method will quietly skip over all
/// records that aren’t of the type you are interested in.
///
/// So, if you want to iterate over the MX records in the answer section, you
/// would do something like this:
///
/// ```
/// use domain::base::Message;
/// use domain::rdata::Mx;
///
/// # let octets = vec![0; 12];
/// let msg = Message::from_octets(octets).unwrap();
/// for record in msg.answer().unwrap().limit_to::<Mx<_>>() {
///     if let Ok(record) = record {
///         // Do something with the record ...
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// The `limit_to` method takes the record type as a type argument. Many
/// record types, like [`Mx`], are generic over octet sequences but the
/// compiler generally can figure out the concrete type itself, so in most
/// cases you get away with the underscore there.
///
/// Note how the iterator doesn’t actually return records but results of
/// records and parse errors. This is because only now can it check whether
/// the record is actually properly formatted. An error signals that something
/// went wrong while parsing. If only the record data is broken, the message
/// remains useful and parsing can continue with the next record. If the
/// message is fully broken, the next iteration will return `None` to signal
/// that.
