=head1 NAME

Net::DNS::Header - DNS packet header

	use Net::DNS;

	$packet = Net::DNS::Packet->new();
	$header = $packet->header;


=head1 DESCRIPTION

C represents the header portion of a DNS packet.

=head1 METHODS


=head2 $packet->header

	$packet = Net::DNS::Packet->new();
	$header = $packet->header;

Net::DNS::Header objects emanate from the Net::DNS::Packet header()
method, and contain an opaque reference to the parent Packet object.

Header objects may be assigned to suitably scoped lexical variables.
They should never be stored in global variables or persistent data
structures.


=head2 string

	print $packet->header->string;

Returns a string representation of the packet header.

which can be assembled by the local network stack.
