* Package name : libbind Version : 6.0 Upstream Author : Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. * URL : https://www.isc.org/software/libbind * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : DNS resolver and message parsing library libbind contains the standard resolver library that was distributed in BIND9 prior to version 9.6. Included are functions that communicate with domain name servers, parse DNS messages, retrieve network host entries from /etc/hosts or via DNS, convert CIDR network addresses, perform Hesiod information lookups, retrieve network entries from /etc/networks, implement TSIG transaction/request security of DNS messages, perform name-to-address and address-to-name translations, and use /etc/resolv.conf for resolver configuration. . note that the bind9 source package already ships a "libbind-dev" package which is unrelated to libbind. i will probably embed the SONAME version in the -dev package name for libbind to avoid conflicting with the bind9 package. -- Robert Edmonds edmo...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
