NAME
Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::ISDN - Resource Record Handler
SYNOPSIS
DO NOT use Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::ISDN
DO NOT require Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::ISDN
Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::ISDN is autoloaded by
class Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR and its methods
are instantiated in a 'special' manner.
use Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR;
($get,$put,$parse) = new Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR;
($newoff,$name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,
$textdata) = $get->ISDN(\$buffer,$offset);
Note: the $get->ISDN method is normally called
via: @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset);
($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->ISDN(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs,
$name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,$textdata);
$NAME,$TYPE,$CLASS,$TTL,$rdlength,$textdata)
= $parse->ISDN($name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,
$textdata);DESCRIPTION
Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR:ISDN appends an ISDN resource record to a DNS packet under construction, recovers an ISDN resource record from a packet being decoded, and converts the numeric/binary portions of the resource record to human readable form.
Description from RFC1035.txt
3.2.1. Format
All RRs have the same top level format shown below:
1 1 1 1 1 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| NAME |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| TYPE |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| CLASS |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| TTL |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| RDLENGTH |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--|
| RDATA |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
NAME an owner name, i.e., the name of the node to which this
resource record pertains.
TYPE two octets containing one of the RR TYPE codes.
CLASS two octets containing one of the RR CLASS codes.
TTL a 32 bit signed integer that specifies the time interval
that the resource record may be cached before the source
of the information should again be consulted. Zero
values are interpreted to mean that the RR can only be
used for the transaction in progress, and should not be
cached. For example, SOA records are always distributed
with a zero TTL to prohibit caching. Zero values can
also be used for extremely volatile data.
RDLENGTH an unsigned 16 bit integer that specifies the length
in octets of the RDATA field.
RDATA a variable length string of octets that describes the
resource. The format of this information varies
according to the TYPE and CLASS of the resource record.
RFC 1183 ISDN RDATA format
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
/ ISDN-ADDRESS /
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
/ SUBADDRESS /
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
where:
ISDN-ADDRESS A character-string wich identifies the ISDN number.
SUBADDRESS An optional character-string specifying the subaddress@stuff = $get->ISDN(\$buffer,$offset);
Get the contents of the resource record. USE: @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset); where: @stuff = ( $newoff $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength, $textdata );All except the last item, $textdata, is provided by the class loader, Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR. The code in this method knows how to retrieve $textdata.
input: pointer to buffer, offset into buffer returns: offset to next resource, @common RR elements, text string(s)($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->ISDN(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs, $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,$textdata);
Append a ISDN record to $buffer.
where @common = ( $name,$type,$class,$ttl);The method will insert the $rdlength and $textdata, then pass through the updated pointer to the array of compressed names
The class loader, Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR, inserts the @common elements and returns updated @dnptrs. This module knows how to insert its RDATA and calculate the $rdlength.
input: pointer to buffer, offset (normally end of buffer), pointer to compressed name array, @common RR elements, text string(s). output: offset to next RR, new compressed name pointer array, or empty list () on error. Note: Double quotes embedded in the text should be escaped. i.e. \"(@COMMON,$textdata) = $parse->ISDN(@common,$textdata);
Converts binary/numeric field data into human readable form. The common RR elements are supplied by the class loader, Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR. For ISDN RR's, this returns the text strings, each surrounded by double quotes.
input: text string(s) returns: "text string(s)"
