Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR:User3Contributed Perl DocumeNet::DNS::ToolKit::RR::MR(3) NAME Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::MR - Resource Record Handler SYNOPSIS DO NOT use Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::MR DO NOT require Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::MR Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::MR 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, $madname) = $get->MR(\$buffer,$offset); Note: the $get->MR method is normally called via: @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset); ($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->MR(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs, $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$madname); $NAME,$TYPE,$CLASS,$TTL,$rdlength,$MADNAME) = $parse->XYZ($name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength, $madname); DESCRIPTION Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR:MR appends an MR resource record to a DNS packet under construction, recovers an MR 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. 3.3.8. MR RDATA format (EXPERIMENTAL) +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ / NEWNAME / / / +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ where: NEWNAME A <domain-name> which specifies a mailbox which is the proper rename of the specified mailbox. MR records cause no additional section processing. The main use for MR is as a forwarding entry for a user who has moved to a different mailbox. o @stuff = $get->MR(\$buffer,$offset); Get the contents of the resource record. USE: @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset); where: @stuff = ( $newoff $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength, $madname ); All except the last item, $madname, is provided by the class loader, Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR. The code in this method knows how to retrieve $madname. input: pointer to buffer, offset into buffer returns: offset to next resource, @common RR elements, MR Domain Name o ($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->MR(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs, $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$madname); Append an MR record to $buffer. where @common = ( $name,$type,$class,$ttl); The method will insert the $rdlength and $madname, 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 $rdlength. input: pointer to buffer, offset (normally end of buffer), pointer to compressed name array, @common RR elements, MR Domain Name output: offset to next RR, new compressed name pointer array, or empty list () on error. o (@COMMON,$MADNAME) = $parse->MR(@common,$madname); Converts binary/numeric field data into human readable form. The common RR elements are supplied by the class loader, Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR. For MR RR's, this returns the $madname terminated with '.' input: MR Domain Name returns: MR Domain Name.
