Shouldn't DNS error code 'EADNAME' be 'EBADNAME'?

[iammaart]

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/dns.js#L333

exports.ADNAME = 'EADNAME';

This line defines the error code ADNAME as 'EADNAME'. Shouldn't it be BADNAME and 'EBADNAME' respectively?

exports.BADNAME = 'EBADNAME';

The doc mentions BADNAME: https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dns_error_codes

Looks like an mistake in ecfe32e. This change would be a semver-major.

(Unless that error code isn't returned by the API)

@silverwind Adding exports.BADNAME would be a semver-minor, removing exports.ADNAME would be a semver-major in any case (even if not returned by the API). So I would prefer that to be two separate commits, one of which could be pulled in 4.x.

What are these exports actually used for exactly? They don't seem to be involved in actual error handling. They certainly are undocumented, so semver rules don't strictly apply.

Oh, right, comparison. Well, I think a replacement here would qualify as a bugfix to match the documentation, so I think it'd be fine in a patch release actually.

Filed #3051.

Agreed that if the documented result doesn't match how the code works then it's a bug fix.

Landed in two seperate commits. exports.BADNAME will be available next version. exports.ADNAME will be removed in 5.0.0.
