DESCRIPTION

       ldns_zone
              DNS Zone

              A list of RR's with some
              extra information which comes from the SOA RR
              Note: nothing has been done to make this efficient (yet).
              struct ldns_struct_zone
              {
                   the soa defines a zone:
                   ldns_rr   *_soa;
                   /* basicly a zone is a list of rr's */
                   ldns_rr_list   *_rrs;
                   /* we could change this to be a b-tree etc etc todo */
              };
              typedef struct ldns_struct_zone ldns_zone;

       ldns_zone_new() create a new ldns_zone structure
              Returns a pointer to a ldns_zone structure

       ldns_zone_free() Frees the allocated memory for the zone, and the rr_list structure in it
              zone: the zone to free

       ldns_zone_deep_free() Frees the allocated memory for the zone, the soa rr in it, and the
              rr_list structure in it, including the rr's in that. etc.
              zone: the zone to free

       ldns_zone_new_frm_fp() Create a new zone from a file
              z: the new zone
              *fp: the filepointer to use
              *origin: the zones' origin
              ttl: default ttl to use
              c: default class to use (IN)

              Returns ldns_status mesg with an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

       ldns_zone_new_frm_fp_l() Create a new zone from a file, keep track of the line numbering
              z: the new zone
              *fp: the filepointer to use
              *origin: the zones' origin
              ttl: default ttl to use
              c: default class to use (IN)
              line_nr: used for error msg, to get to the line number

              Returns ldns_status mesg with an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

       ldns_zone_print() Print a zone structure * to output. Note the SOA record is included in
              this output
              output: the fd to print to
              z: the zone to print

       ldns_zone_print_fmt() Print a zone structure * to output. Note the SOA record is included
              in this output
              output: the fd to print to
              fmt: format of the textual representation
              z: the zone to print
