-- Simple DNS library supporting packet creation, encoding, decoding,
-- and querying.
--
-- The most common interface to this module are the <code>query</code> and
-- <code>reverse</code> functions. <code>query</code> performs a DNS query,
-- and <code>reverse</code> prepares an ip address to have a reverse query
-- performed.
--
-- <code>query</code> takes two options - a domain name to look up and an
-- optional table of options. For more information on the options table,
-- see the documentation for <code>query</code>.
--
-- Example usage:
-- <code>
--  -- After this call, <code>status</code> is <code>true</code> and <code>result</code> is <code>"72.14.204.104"</code>
--  local status, result = dns.query('www.google.ca')
--
--  -- After this call, <code>status</code> is <code>false</code> and <code>result</code> is <code>"No such name"</code>
--  local status, result = dns.query('www.google.abc')
--
--  -- After this call, <code>status</code> is <code>true</code> and <code>result</code> is the table <code>{"72.14.204.103", "72.14.204.104", "72.14.204.147", "72.14.204.99"}</code>
--  local status, result = dns.query('www.google.ca', {retAll=true})
--
--  -- After this call, <code>status</code> is <code>true</code> and <code>result</code> is the <code>"2001:19f0:0:0:0:dead:beef:cafe"</code>
--  local status, result = dns.query('irc.ipv6.efnet.org', {dtype='AAAA'})
--</code>
