Obtain an Array of Records

This gem defines a model known as a Record. The record has five attributes:

  attr_accessor :domain
  attr_accessor :time_out
  attr_accessor :class_type
  attr_accessor :record_type
  attr_accessor :ip_address

To obtain an array of all the records as Record objects in your project, run the following command

dns_zone_parser = IdmeDNSZoneParser.new(ARGV[0])
records = dns_zone_parser.parse
