def __init__(self, id=0, answer=0, opCode=0, recDes=0, recAv=0, auth=0, rCode=OK, trunc=0, maxSize=512, authenticData=0, checkingDisabled=0): (source)
ParametersidA 16 bit identifier assigned by the program that generates any kind of query. This identifier is copied to the corresponding reply and can be used by the requester to match up replies to outstanding queries. (type: int)
answerA one bit field that specifies whether this message is a query (0), or a response (1). (type: int)
opCodeA four bit field that specifies kind of query in this message. This value is set by the originator of a query and copied into the response. (type: int)
recDesRecursion Desired - this bit may be set in a query and is copied into the response. If RD is set, it directs the name server to pursue the query recursively. Recursive query support is optional. (type: int)
recAvRecursion Available - this bit is set or cleared in a response and denotes whether recursive query support is available in the name server. (type: int)
authAuthoritative Answer - this bit is valid in responses and specifies that the responding name server is an authority for the domain name in question section. (type: int)
truncA flag indicating that this message was truncated due to length greater than that permitted on the transmission channel. (type: int)
maxSizeThe requestor's UDP payload size is the number of octets of the largest UDP payload that can be reassembled and delivered in the requestor's network stack. (type: int)
authenticDataA flag indicating in a response that all the data included in the answer and authority portion of the response has been authenticated by the server according to the policies of that server. See RFC2535 section-6.1. (type: int)
checkingDisabledA flag indicating in a query that pending (non-authenticated) data is acceptable to the resolver sending the query. See RFC2535 section-6.1.
