FUNCTIONS

resolvetable

Usage:

resolvetable(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Produce a colored table containing DNS resolve results of several names from several servers/resolvers.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • action => str (default: "show-addresses")

    The default action is to show resolve result (show-addresses). Will highlight the majority result with green, and minority result with red. Failed resolve (undef) will also be highlighted with a red "X".

    The compare-addresses action is similar to show-addresses, but will assume the first server/resolver as the reference and compare the results of the other servers with the first. When the result is different, it will be highlighted with red; when the result is the same, it will be highlighted with green. Failed resolve (undef) are highlighted with a grey X (if result is the same as reference server) or a red X (if result is different than reference server). So basically whenever you see a red, the results of the other servers are not identical with the first (reference) server.

    The show-timings action will show resolve times instead of addresses, to compare speed among DNS servers/resolvers. Will highlight the fastest server with green.

  • colorize => bool (default: 1)

  • names* => array[str]

  • servers* => array[str]

  • type => str (default: "A")

    Type of DNS record to query.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
