Implements interfaces: twisted.names.dns.IEncodable

A name in the domain name system, made up of multiple labels. For example, twistedmatrix.com.

Instance Variable name A byte string giving the name. (type: bytes)
Method __init__
Method encode Encode this Name into the appropriate byte format.
Method decode Decode a byte string into this Name.
Method __eq__ Undocumented
Method __ne__ Undocumented
Method __hash__ Undocumented
Method __str__ Represent this Name instance by its string name.
name =
A byte string giving the name. (type: bytes)
def __init__(self, name=''): (source)
ParametersnameA name. (type: unicode or bytes)
def encode(self, strio, compDict=None): (source)

Encode this Name into the appropriate byte format.

ParametersstrioThe byte representation of this Name will be written to this file. (type: file)
compDictdictionary of Names that have already been encoded and whose addresses may be backreferenced by this Name (for the purpose of reducing the message size). (type: dict)
def decode(self, strio, length=None): (source)

Decode a byte string into this Name.

ParametersstrioBytes will be read from this file until the full Name is decoded. (type: file)
RaisesEOFErrorRaised when there are not enough bytes available from strio.
ValueErrorRaised when the name cannot be decoded (for example, because it contains a loop).
