thanks for help

The trust-dns crate does not define a library - it seems to be an application that can be run, not a library that a can be depended upon.

If I'm reading the source correctly, the trust-dns crate is located at https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/blob/be8b2ae2a87318a1a8bfac5316b63445e98f0eee/bin/Cargo.toml, and the only thing it contains is a file with a main function at https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/blob/be8b2ae2a87318a1a8bfac5316b63445e98f0eee/bin/src/named.rs.

The repository has a bunch of other crates as well, though - for instance, it looks like OpCode is defined in trust-dns-proto. Are you sure trust-dns is the what you should be using?

I am trying the following example and it uses trust-dns as library

thanks

Thanks for pointing at the source, look like there is a name change it
is now called trust-dns-client

thanks
