NAME

Net::WDNS - Perl extension for the wdns low-level DNS utility library

SYNOPSIS

# The primary interface to libwdns is through Net::WDNS::Msg objects:

use Net::Nmsg qw(:func);

for my $pkt (@pkt_source) { my $msg = parse_message($pkt); # same as Net::WDNS::Msg->new($pkt) print $msg->as_str, "\n" if $msg->flags->{aa}; # or print "$msg\n" }

DESCRIPTION

Net::WDNS is a perl binding to libwdns, the low-level DNS library. The library is designed to parse, examine, and render raw DNS packets.

Net::WDNS exports functions and constants from libwdns. Typically interactions with the library will be through the parse_message() function and, subsequently, Net::Nmsg::Msg objects. The rest of the functions exported here are provided for development purposes.

EXPORTED CONSTANTS AND FUNCTIONS

Functions and constants are individually exportable. To export everything, use ':all'. The following tag groups are also available:

Tag group :func

parse_message($pkt)
message_to_str($raw_msg)

Convert a raw message type to a human-readable string.

domain_to_str($raw_domain)

Convert a raw domain name to a human-readable string.

opcode_to_str($int)

Convert a numeric opcode to a descriptive string.

rcode_to_str($int)

Convert a numeric rcode to a descriptive string.

rrclass_to_str($int)

Convert a numeric rrclass to a descriptive string.

rrtype_to_str($int)

Convert a numeric rrtype to a descriptive string. See also str_to_rrtype().

rdata_to_str($raw_rdata)

Convert a raw rdata type to a human-readable string.

str_to_rrtype($str)

Convert a string to a raw rrtype. See also rrtype_to_str().

str_to_name($str)

Convert a string to a raw domain. See also domain_to_str().

len_name($raw_domain)

Return the length of a raw (uncompressed wire format) domain name.

reverse_name($raw_domain)

Return a reversed raw domain.

left_chop($raw_domain)

Return a raw domain with the leftmost domain component (label) removed.

count_labels($raw_domain)

Return the number of components in a raw domain.

is_subdomain($raw_domain1, $raw_domain2)

Return whether or not the first raw domain is a sub-domain of the second.

clear_message($raw_msg)

Free the memory assosciated with the raw msg. This normally happens during the DESTROY() call to a Net::WDNS::Msg object.

get_id($raw_msg)

Return the numeric id of a raw msg.

get_flags($raw_msg)

Return the bit-encoded flags of a raw msg.

get_rcode($raw_msg)

Return the numeric rcode of a raw msg.

get_opcode($raw_msg)

Return the numeric opcode of a raw msg.

get_section($raw_msg)

Return the section (0-3) of a raw msg as an array of blessed objects (Net::Nmsg::Question or Net::Nmsg::RR)
