net::dns::rr::opt5.18
Net::DNS::RR::OPT(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::DNS::RR::OPT(3)
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.
