Public Class methods

Be able to control the default type to assign when type is nil. Default to A

Creates a new object representing an RR type. Performs some checks on the argument validity too. Il type is nil, the default value is ANY or the one set with Types.default=

Gives in output the keys from the Types hash in a format suited for regexps

Returns the type in string format, as "A" or "NS", given the numeric value

Checks whether type is a valid RR type.

Public Instance methods

Returns the type in number format (default for normal use)

Returns the type in numeric format, usable by the pack methods for data transfers

Returns the type in string format, i.d. "A" or "NS" or such a string.
