Use new structured DNSRecord parameters to generate per-type API
for all supported DNS RR types. This should help significantly
the end-user with manipulating complex DNS record type (MX, LOC,
etc.).
All enhancements are integrated to current DNS record commands:
1) dnsrecord-add
- Records can be either entered as a raw value (e.g. --mx-rec=
"1 srv1.example.com" for MX record) or per-part:
--mx-preference=1 --mx-exchanger=srv1.example.com
- CLI interactive help behavior was changed. It will ask for
a record type and then ask for all DNS record part values
(e.g. MX Preference value, MX Exchanger value).
2) dnsrecord-mod
- This command can now operate in 2 modes. When only a raw DNS
record is entered (e.g. --mx-rec="1 srv1.example.com") it
operates in standard mode and replaces any previous mxrecord
value with the --mx-rec value.
When any structured parameter (e.g. --mx-preference) is passed
it modifies just the specified parts of one mxrecord value
referred by --mx-rec:
--mx-rec="1 srv1.example.com" --mx-preference=2
- New interactive help has been implemented. It will ask for a
record to be modified (in the same manner as dnsrecord-del)
and then let user change DNS record part(s) for chosen
records.
3) All dnsrecord-* commands have now --structured option
- When this option is passed, instead of displaying raw DNS values
all DNS records are parsed and displayed per-part. Example:
$ ipa dnsrecord-show example.com @ --structured
Record name: @
Records:
Record type: MX
Record data: 0 server1.example.com.
MX Preference: 0
MX Exchanger: server1.example.com.
Record type: NS
Record data: ns1.example.com.
NS Hostname: ns1.example.com.
All API changes are compatible with clients without this patch.
