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. 3.3.2. HINFO RDATA format +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ / CPU / +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ / OS / +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ where: CPU A which specifies the CPU type. OS A which specifies the operating system type. Standard values for CPU and OS can be found in [RFC-1010]. HINFO records are used to acquire general information about a host. The main use is for protocols such as FTP that can use special procedures when talking between machines or operating systems of the same type. =over 4 =item * @stuff = $get->HINFO(\$buffer,$offset); Get the contents of the resource record. USE: @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset); where: @stuff = ( $newoff $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength, @txtstrings ); All except the last item, B<@txtstrings>, is provided by the class loader, B. The code in this method knows how to retrieve B<$anydata>. input: pointer to buffer, offset into buffer returns: offset to next resource, @common RR elements, 2 text strings =item * ($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->HINFO(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs, $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,@txtstrings); Append a HINFO record to $buffer. where @common = ( $name,$type,$class,$ttl); The method will insert the $rdlength and @txtstrings, then pass through the updated pointer to the array of compressed names The class loader, B, inserts the @common elements and returns updated @dnptrs. This module knows how to insert its RDATA of two text strings up to 255 characters long and calculate the $rdlength of the entire record. input: pointer to buffer, offset (normally end of buffer), pointer to compressed name array, @common RR elements, 2 text strings =< 255 characters output: offset to next RR, new compressed name pointer array, or empty list () on error. =cut sub put { return () unless @_; # always return on error my($self,$bp,$off,$dnp,@textdata) = @_; return () unless @textdata == 2; goto &Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::TXT::put; } =item * (@COMMON,@txtstrings)=$parse->HINFO(@common,@txtstrings); Converts binary/numeric field data into human readable form. The common RR elements are supplied by the class loader, B. For HINFO RR's, this is a null operation. input: 2 text strings returns: 2 text strings =back =head1 DEPENDENCIES Net::DNS::ToolKit Net::DNS::Codes =head1 EXPORT none =head1 AUTHOR Michael Robinton =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2003, Michael Robinton This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
