Description [src]

Validate a potential domain name.

This checks against RFC 2181.

See mct_web_filter_validate_hostname_len() for validating hostnames instead. Domain names are entries in the DNS database, hostnames are website addresses. Every hostname is a domain name, but not vice-versa.

Available since: 0.14.0
