.. class:: ResolverRecordType
   :no-contents-entry:






The type of record that :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.Resolver.lookup_records` or
:func:`~gi.repository.Gio.Resolver.lookup_records_async` should retrieve. The records are returned
as lists of :obj:`~gi.repository.GLib.Variant` tuples. Each record type has different values in
the variant tuples returned.

:const:`~gi.repository.Gio.ResolverRecordType.SRV` records are returned as variants with the signature
``(qqqs)``, containing a ``guint16`` with the priority, a ``guint16`` with the
weight, a ``guint16`` with the port, and a string of the hostname.

:const:`~gi.repository.Gio.ResolverRecordType.MX` records are returned as variants with the signature
``(qs)``, representing a ``guint16`` with the preference, and a string containing
the mail exchanger hostname.

:const:`~gi.repository.Gio.ResolverRecordType.TXT` records are returned as variants with the signature
``(as)``, representing an array of the strings in the text record. Note: Most TXT
records only contain a single string, but
`RFC 1035 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-3.3.14>`_ does allow a
record to contain multiple strings. The RFC which defines the interpretation
of a specific TXT record will likely require concatenation of multiple
strings if they are present, as with
`RFC 7208 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7208#section-3.3>`_.

:const:`~gi.repository.Gio.ResolverRecordType.SOA` records are returned as variants with the signature
``(ssuuuuu)``, representing a string containing the primary name server, a
string containing the administrator, the serial as a ``guint32``, the refresh
interval as a ``guint32``, the retry interval as a ``guint32``, the expire timeout
as a ``guint32``, and the TTL as a ``guint32``.

:const:`~gi.repository.Gio.ResolverRecordType.NS` records are returned as variants with the signature
``(s)``, representing a string of the hostname of the name server.
