DNS Messages
============

Objects of the dns.message.Message class and its subclasses represent
a single DNS message, as defined by `RFC 1035
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035>`_ and its many updates and
extensions.

The module provides tools for constructing and manipulating messages.
TSIG signatures and EDNS are also supported.  Messages can be dumped to
a textual form, and also read from that form.
