NAME

Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR - DNS Resource Record type object

SYNOPSIS

   use Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR qw(:consts);

   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR->new(
      name     => 'localhost',
      type     => NF_DNS_TYPE_A,
      class    => NF_DNS_CLASS_IN,
      ttl      => 0,
      rdlength => 0,
      rdata    => '',
   );
   $layer->pack;

   print 'RAW: '.$layer->dump."\n";

   # Create RR with rdata
   use Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR::A;

   my $rdata = Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR::A->new;
   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR->new(
      rdata => $rdata->pack,
   );
   $layer->pack;

   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR->new(raw => $raw);

   print $layer->print."\n";
   print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"

DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the DNS Resource Record object.

See also Net::Frame::Layer for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

name

Resource name (hostname / domain).

type

Record type. See CONSTANTS for more information.

class

Class type. See CONSTANTS for more information.

ttl

Time interval (in seconds) that the resource record may be cached before it should be discarded. Zero (0) means the RR can only be used for the current transaction and should not be cached.

rdlength

Length in octets of the RDATA field.

rdata

String of octets that describes the resource. Can be created with any Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR::* modules. See SYNOPSIS for example.

The following are inherited attributes. See Net::Frame::Layer for more information.

raw

payload

nextLayer

METHODS

new

new (hash)

Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. See SYNOPSIS for default values.

The following are inherited methods. Some of them may be overriden in this layer, and some others may not be meaningful in this layer. See Net::Frame::Layer for more information.

computeLengths

computeChecksums

pack

unpack

encapsulate

getLength

getPayloadLength

print

dump

CONSTANTS

Load them: use Net::Frame::Layer::DNS::RR qw(:consts);
