NAME
AnyEvent::Ident::Client - Simple asynchronous ident client
VERSION
version 0.08
SYNOPSIS
use AnyEvent::Ident::Client;
my $client = AnyEvent::Ident::Client->new( hostname => 127.0.0.1' );
$client->ident($server_port, $client_port, sub {
my($res) = @_; # isa AnyEvent::Client::Response
if($res->is_success)
{
print "user: ", $res->username, "\n";
print "os: ", $res->os, "\n";
}
else
{
warn "Ident error: " $res->error_type;
}
});CONSTRUCTOR
my $client = AnyEvent::Ident::Client->new(%args);The constructor takes the following optional arguments:
hostname
default 127.0.0.1
The hostname to connect to.
port
default 113
The port to connect to.
on_error
default carp error
A callback subref to be called on error (either connection or transmission error). Passes the error string as the first argument to the callback.
response_close
default AnyEvent::Ident::Response
Bless the response object into the given class. This class SHOULD inherit from AnyEvent::Ident::Response, or at least mimic its interface. This allows you to define your own methods for the response class.
METHODS
ident
$client->ident( $server_port, $client_port, $callback );Send an ident request to the ident server with the given TCP port pair. The callback will be called when the response is returned from the server. Its only argument will be an instance of AnyEvent::Ident::Response.
On the first call to this method, a connection to the ident server is opened, and will remain open until close (see below) is called, or if the $client object falls out of scope.
close
$client->close;Close the connection to the ident server. Requests that are in progress will receive an error response with the type UNKNOWN-ERROR.
