NAME
EV::ADNS - lightweight asynchronous dns queries using EV and libadns
SYNOPSIS
use EV;
use EV::ADNS;
EV::ADNS::submit "example.com", EV::ADNS::r_addr, EV::ADNS::qf_cname_loose, sub {
my ($status, $expires, @a) = @_;
warn $a[0]; # "127.13.166.3" etc.
};
EV::run;
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple interface to libadns (asynchronous dns) that integrates
well and automatically into the EV event loop. The documentation for
libadns is vital to understand this module, see
.
You can use it only with EV (directly or indirectly, e.g. via Glib::EV).
Apart from loading and using the "submit" function you need not do
anything (except run an EV event loop).
OVERVIEW
All the constants/enums from adns.h are available in the EV::ADNS
namespace, without the "adns_" prefix, i.e. "adns_r_a" becomes
"EV::ADNS::r_a" and so on.
FUNCTIONS
$query = EV::ADNS::submit "domain", $rrtype, $flags, $cb
Submits a new request to be handled. See the "adns_submit" C
function description for more details. The function optionally
returns a query object which can be used to cancel an in-progress
request. You do not need to store the query object, even if you
ignore it, the query will proceed.
The callback will be invoked with a result status, the time the
resource record validity expires and zero or more resource records,
one scalar per result record. Example:
sub adns_cb {
my ($status, $expires, @rr) = @_;
if ($status == EV::ADNS::s_ok) {
use JSON::XS;
warn encode_json \@rr;
}
}
The format of result records varies considerably, here is some
cursory documentation of how each record will look like, depending
on the query type:
EV::ADNS::r_a, EV::ADNS::r_addr
An IPv4 address in dotted quad (string) form.
EV::ADNS::r_ns_raw, EV::ADNS::r_cname, EV::ADNS::r_ptr,
EV::ADNS::r_ptr_raw
The resource record as a simple string.
EV::ADNS::r_txt
An arrayref of strings.
EV::ADNS::r_ns
A "host address", a hostname with any number of addresses (hint
records).
The record will be an arrayref with domainname, adns status and
any number of associated addresses: "["domain", adns_status,
addr...]".
EV::ADNS::r_hinfo
An arrayref consisting of the two strings.
EV::ADNS::r_rp, EV::ADNS::r_rp_raw
An arrayref with two strings.
EV::ADNS::r_mx
An arrayref consisting of the priority and a "host address" (see
"EV::ADNS::r_ns"). Example:
[10, [["alt3.aspmx.l.google.com", 0, "64.233.189.27", "2404:6800:4008:c07::1a"]]]
EV::ADNS::r_mx_raw
An arrayref consisting of the priority and the hostname, e.g.
"[10, "mail.example.com"]".
EV::ADNS::r_soa, EV::ADNS::r_soa_raw
An arrayref consisting of the primary nameserver, admin name,
serial, refresh, retry expire and minimum times, e.g.:
["ns.example.net", "hostmaster@example.net", 2000001102, 86400, 21600, 2592000, 172800]
The "raw" form doesn't mangle the e-mail address.
EV::ADNS::r_srv_raw
An arrayref consisting of the priority, weight, port and
hostname, e.g.:
[10, 10, 5060, "sip1.example.net"]
EV::ADNS::r_srv
The same as "EV::ADNS::r_srv_raw", but the hostname is replaced
by a "host address" (see "EV::ADNS::r_ns").
EV::ADNS::r_unknown
A single octet string with the raw contents.
anything else
Currently "undef".
$query->cancel
Cancels a request that is in progress.
EV::ADNS::reinit undef, $resolvdata_or_undef
Cancels all outstanding queries, frees all adns state and
reinitialises it. It is highly recommended to only call this when
there are no outstanding requests.
The first argument must currently be specified as "undef".
The second argument can be missing or "undef"; in which case the
normal initialisation is done (such as reading the resolv.conf), or
it might be a stirng, in which case no config files or environment
variables will be read and the given string will be interpreted as
the resolv.conf contents.
SEE ALSO
EV, Net::ADNS another interface to adns, maybe better, but without real
support to integrate it into other event loops.
