NAME
    Net::DNS::RR::NSEC - DNS NSEC resource record

SYNOPSIS
        use Net::DNS;
        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new( 'name NSEC nxtdname typelist' );

DESCRIPTION
    Class for DNSSEC NSEC resource records.

METHODS
    The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific
    methods defined in this package.

    Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged
    and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour.

  nxtdname
        $nxtdname = $rr->nxtdname;
        $rr->nxtdname( $nxtdname );

    The Next Domain field contains the next owner name (in the canonical ordering of the zone) that
    has authoritative data or contains a delegation point NS RRset.

  typelist
        @typelist = $rr->typelist;
        $typelist = $rr->typelist;

    typelist() identifies the RRset types that exist at the NSEC RR owner name. When called in
    scalar context, the list is interpolated into a string.

  typemap
        $exists = $rr->typemap($rrtype);

    typemap() returns a Boolean true value if the specified RRtype occurs in the type bitmap of the
    NSEC record.

  match
        $matched = $rr->match( 'example.foo' );

    match() returns a Boolean true value if the canonical form of the name argument matches the
    canonical owner name of the NSEC RR.

  covers
        $covered = $rr->covers( 'example.foo' );

    covers() returns a Boolean true value if the canonical form of the name, or one of its
    ancestors, falls between the owner name and the nxtdname field of the NSEC record.

  encloser, nextcloser, wildcard
        $encloser = $rr->encloser( 'example.foo' );
        print "encloser: $encloser\n" if $encloser;

    encloser() returns the name of a provable encloser of the query name argument obtained from the
    NSEC RR.

    nextcloser() returns the next closer name, which is one label longer than the closest encloser.
    This is only valid after encloser() has returned a valid domain name.

    wildcard() returns the unexpanded wildcard name from which the next closer name was possibly
    synthesised. This is only valid after encloser() has returned a valid domain name.
