Road Map to the BIND 9 Source Tree

bin/named The name server. This relies heavily on the

libraries in lib/isc and lib/dns.

client.c Handling of incoming client requests

query.c Query processing

bin/rndc The remote name daemon control program

bin/dig The "dig" program

bin/dnssec The DNSSEC signer and other DNSSEC tools

bin/nsupdate The "nsupdate" program

bin/tests Test suites and miscellaneous test programs

bin/tests/system System test; see bin/tests/system/README

lib/dns The DNS library

resolver.c The "full resolver"(performs recursive lookups)

validator.c The DNSSEC validator

db.c The database interface

sdb.c The simple database interface

rbtdb.c The red-black tree database

lib/dns/config Routines for reading and writing named.conf files

lib/dns/rdata Routines for handling the various RR types

lib/dns/sec Cryptographic libraries for DNSSEC

lib/isc The ISC library

task.c Task library

unix/socket.c Unix implementation of socket library

lib/omapi The OMAPI remote object access library, used by rndc.

lib/tests Support code for the test suites.

lib/lwres The lightweight resolver library.

doc/draft Current internet-drafts pertaining to the DNS

doc/rfc RFCs pertaining to the DNS

doc/misc Miscellaneous documentation

doc/arm The BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual

doc/man Man pages

contrib Contributed and other auxiliary code

contrib/idn/mdnkit The multilingual domain name evaluation kit

contrib/sdb Sample drivers for the simple database interface

make Makefile fragments, used by configure

The library interfaces are mainly documented in the form of comments

in the header files. For example, the task subsystem is documented in
