NAME¶
Net::DNS::RR::OPT - DNS OPT resource record
SYNOPSIS¶
use Net::DNS;
$opt = new Net::DNS::RR(
type => "OPT",
flags => 0x8000, # extended flags
rcode => 0, # extended RCODE
size => 1280, # UDP payload size
);
DESCRIPTION¶
EDNS OPT pseudo resource record.
The OPT record supports EDNS protocol extensions and is not intended to be
created, accessed or modified directly by user applications.
All access to EDNS features is performed indirectly by operations on the packet
header. The underlying mechanism is entirely hidden from the user.
METHODS¶
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the
type-specific methods defined in this package.
Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data
structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other
unpredictable behaviour.
version¶
$version = $rr->version;
$rr->version( $version );
The version of EDNS used by this OPT record.
size¶
$size = $packet->edns->size;
$more = $packet->edns->size(1280);
size() advertises the maximum size (octets) of UDP packet that can be
reassembled in the network stack of the originating host.
rcode¶
$extended_rcode = $packet->header->rcode;
$incomplete_rcode = $packet->edns->rcode;
The 12 bit extended RCODE. The most significant 8 bits reside in the OPT record.
The least significant 4 bits can only be obtained from the packet header.
flags¶
$edns_flags = $packet->edns->flags;
$do = $packet->header->do;
$packet->header->do(1);
16 bit field containing EDNS extended header flags.
Options¶
@option = $packet->edns->options;
$octets = $packet->edns->option($option_code);
$packet->edns->option( NSID => 'value' );
$packet->edns->option( 3 => 'value' );
When called in a list context,
options() returns a list of option codes
found in the OPT record.
When called with a single argument,
option() returns the octet string
corresponding to the specified option. The function value is undefined if the
specified option is absent.
Options can be changed by providing an argument list containing one or more
(name => value) pairs to be added or modified. The effect of such changes
is cumulative. An option is deleted if the value is undefined.
