Variables

var DefaultResolver = Resolver{net.DefaultResolver.LookupTXT}

DefaultResolver is the resolver used by the package-level LookupRelease function.

Functions

func DKIMQuotedPrintableEncode

func DKIMQuotedPrintableEncode(str string) string

DKIMQuotedPrintableEncode encodes a strings as a [DKIM-Quoted-Printable (RFC 6376)] string.

See [Value.String] for decoding.

Types

type Release

type Release struct {
	Version string // decoded version string
	Tags    []Tag  // raw tags in the order they appeared
}

Release represents a release record

func LookupReleases

func LookupReleases(domain string) ([]Release, error)

LookupReleases looks up and parses supported releases by DNS-querying _release.{domain}

LookupReleases uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use [Resolver.LookupReleases].

func Parse

func Parse(record string) (Release, error)

Parse parses a DNS records into a [Release]

type Resolver

type Resolver struct {
	LookupTXT func(ctx context.Context, name string) ([]string, error)
}

Resolver allows to specify the LookupTXT function to use (usually [net.DefaultResolver.LookupTXT])

func (Resolver) LookupReleases

func (r Resolver) LookupReleases(ctx context.Context, domain string) ([]Release, error)

LookupReleases looks up and parses supported releases by querying the DNS TXT "_release.{domain}" records.

type Tag

type Tag struct {
	Key   string
	Value Value
}

Tag represents a key-value tag pair of the DNS record

type Value

type Value string

Value represents a raw DNS value. Use [Value.String] to get the decoded value.

func (Value) String

func (v Value) String() string

String parses the value as a [DKIM-Quoted-Printable (RFC 6376)] string. It removes whitespaces and decodes hex-octets "=XX".

See [DKIMQuotedPrintableEncode] for encoding.
