## Topics

### Creating TXT Records

[`nw_txt_record_create_dictionary()`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_create_dictionary())

Initializes a TXT record as a dictionary of strings.

[`nw_txt_record_create_with_bytes(_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_create_with_bytes(_:_:))

Initializes a TXT record with raw bytes.

[`nw_txt_record_copy(_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_copy(_:))

Performs a deep copy of a TXT record.

[`nw_txt_record_set_key(_:_:_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_set_key(_:_:_:_:))

Sets a data value in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_remove_key(_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_remove_key(_:_:))

Removes a data value in a TXT record dictionary.

### Examining TXT Records

[`nw_txt_record_is_dictionary(_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_is_dictionary(_:))

Checks whether a TXT record conforms to a dictionary format.

[`nw_txt_record_get_key_count(_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_get_key_count(_:))

Accesses the number of keys stored in the TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_apply(_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_apply(_:_:))

Iterates through all keys in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_applier_t`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_applier_t)

A block that iterates over values and keys in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_access_key(_:_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_access_key(_:_:_:))

Accesses the value for a specific key in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_access_key_t`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_access_key_t)

A block that returns a value in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_find_key(_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_find_key(_:_:))

Checks the status of value associated with a key in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_find_key_t`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_find_key_t)

Status values describing what kind of value is stored in a TXT record dictionary.

[`nw_txt_record_is_equal(_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_is_equal(_:_:))

Checks whether two TXT records are equivalent.

[`nw_txt_record_access_bytes(_:_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_access_bytes(_:_:))

Accesses the raw bytes contained within a TXT record.

[`nw_txt_record_access_bytes_t`](/documentation/Network/nw_txt_record_access_bytes_t)

A block that provides access to the raw bytes of a TXT record.
