 `os`: IANA number designating the Operating System on the machine referenced by this record. See IANA's [» Operating System Names](https://www.iana.org/assignments/operating-system-names/operating-system-names.xhtml) for the meaning of these values.**CAA**`flags`: A one-byte bitfield; currently only bit 0 is defined, meaning 'critical'; other bits are reserved and should be ignored.

 `ipv6`: Address for this specific record to merge with **chain**.
 `chain`: Parent record to merge with **ipv6** data.**SRV**`pri`: (Priority) lowest priorities should be used first.
 `weight`: Ranking to weight which of commonly prioritized **targets** should be chosen at random. `target` and `port`: hostname and port where the requested service can be found. For additional information see: [» RFC 2782](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2782).**NAPTR**`order` and `pref`: Equivalent to **pri** and **weight** above. `flags`, `services`, `regex`, and `replacement`: Parameters as defined by [» RFC 2915](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2915).
