"""Generate DNS RR type constants for resolv header files.

resolv/arpa/nameser.h and resolv/arpa/nameser_compat.h contain lists
of RR type constants.  This script downloads the current definitions
from the IANA DNS Parameters protocol registry and translates it into
the two different lists.

Two lists are written to standard output.  The first one contains enum
constants for resolv/arpa/nameser.h.  The second one lists the
preprocessor macros for resolv/arpa/nameser_compat.h.
