The DnsRecordCompare function compares two DNS resource records (RR).

Syntax

BOOL DnsRecordCompare(
  [in] PDNS_RECORD pRecord1,
  [in] PDNS_RECORD pRecord2
);

Parameters

[in] pRecord1

A pointer to a DNS_RECORD structure that contains the first DNS RR of the comparison pair.

[in] pRecord2

A pointer to a DNS_RECORD structure that contains the second DNS RR of the comparison pair.

Return value

Remarks

When comparing records, DNS RRs that are stored using different character encoding are treated by the DnsRecordCompare function as different, even if the records are otherwise equivalent.
