NAME¶
ident - Ident protocol client
SYNOPSIS¶
package require
Tcl 8.3
package require
ident ?0.42?
::ident::query socket ?
callback?
DESCRIPTION¶
The
ident package provides a client implementation of the ident protocol
as defined in RFC 1413 (
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt).
- ::ident::query socket ?callback?
- This command queries the ident daemon on the remote side of the given
socket, and returns the result of the query as a dictionary. Interpreting
the dictionary as list the first key will always be resp-type, and
can have one of the values USERID, ERROR, and FATAL.
These response types have the following meanings:
- USERID
- This indicates a successful response. Two more keys and associated values
are returned, opsys, and user-id.
- ERROR
- This means the ident server has returned an error. A second key named
error is present whose value contains the error-type field
from the server response.
- FATAL
- Fatal errors happen when no ident server is listening on the remote side,
or when the ident server gives a response that does not conform to the
RFC. A detailed error message is returned under the error key.
