  class DNS(baseobj.BaseObj)
DNS object
Usage:
    from packet.application.dns import DNS
    # Decode DNS layer
    x = DNS(pktt, proto)
Object definition:
DNS(
    id          = int,  # Query Identifier
    QR          = int,  # Packet Type (QUERY or REPLY)
    opcode      = int,  # Query Type

Methods defined here:
---------------------

__init__(self, pktt, proto)
Constructor
Initialize object's private data.

    pktt:
        Packet trace object (packet.pktt.Pktt) so this layer has
        access to the parent layers.

    proto:
        Transport layer protocol.

__nonzero__(self)
Truth value testing for the built-in operation bool()

Option object

  class Query(baseobj.BaseObj)
Query object

  class Resource(baseobj.BaseObj)
Resource object
