Package org.minidns.dnslabel

Class DnsLabel

java.lang.Object

org.minidns.dnslabel.DnsLabel

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Comparable<DnsLabel>

Direct Known Subclasses:

LdhLabel, NonLdhLabel

public abstract class DnsLabel
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Comparable<DnsLabel>

A DNS label is an individual component of a DNS name. Labels are usually shown separated by dots.

This class implements Comparable which compares DNS labels according to the Canonical DNS Name Order as specified in RFC 4034 § 6.1.

Note that as per RFC 2181 § 11 DNS labels may contain any byte.
