ub.addTrustAnchor(KSK_2017);

const result = await ub.resolve('www.ietf.org');
console.log(result);

UnboundResult {
  qname: 'www.ietf.org.',
  qtype: 1,
  qclass: 1,
  data: [ <Buffer 68 14 01 55>, <Buffer 68 14 00 55> ],
  canonName: 'www.ietf.org.cdn.cloudflare.net.',
  rcode: 0,
  answerPacket: <Buffer 00 00 81 a0 ... 474 more bytes>,
  haveData: true,
  nxDomain: false,

  bogus: false,
  whyBogus: null,
  wasRateLimited: false,
  ttl: 300 }

API

The API is a direct mapping to libunbound calls.

• Unbound.version() - Return unbound version string.
• Unbound#setOption(opt, val) - Set resolver option. Note that the trailing colon is not necessary. Values will be cast to strings (null='', bool='yes'/'no', num=num.toString(10)).
• Unbound#getOption(opt) - Get resolver option. Note that the trailing colon is not necessary. Return values will be cast to bools, numbers, and nulls where appropriate.
• Unbound#hasOption(opt) - Test whether an option is available.
• Unbound#tryOption(opt, val) - Try to set option if available.
• Unbound#setConfig(file) - Read unbound config file.
• Unbound#setForward(addr) - Set host to forward DNS queries to.
• Unbound#setStub(zone, addr, [prime=false]) - Setup stub zone.
• Unbound#setResolvConf(file) - Read from resolv.conf.
• Unbound#setHosts(file) - Read from an /etc/hosts file.
• Unbound#addTrustAnchor(ta) - Add a trust anchor (DS/DNSKEY presentation).
• Unbound#addTrustAnchorFile(file, [autr=false]) - Add trust anchor file. Set autr for auto-updating and reading.
• Unbound#addTrustedKeys(file) - Add bind-style trust anchors.
• Unbound#addZone(zoneName, zoneType) - Add a zone to the local authority info.
• Unbound#removeZone(zoneName) - Remove zone.
• Unbound#addData(data) - Add localdata to the local authority info.
• Unbound#removeData(data) - Remove data.
• Unbound#resolve(name, [type=A], [class=IN]) - Asynchronous recursive resolution (returns a Promise). type and class are raw qtypes and qclasses (no strings!). See above example for return value.
