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 EDNS features are performed indirectly by operations on the objects
returned by the $packet->header and $packet->edns creator methods. The
underlying mechanisms are, or should be, 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 = $packet->edns->version;
The version of EDNS supported by this OPT record.
UDPsize
$size = $packet->edns->UDPsize;
$packet->edns->UDPsize($size);
UDPsize() 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;
The 12 bit extended RCODE. The most significant 8 bits are obtained
from the OPT record. The least significant 4 bits reside in the packet
header.
flags
$do = $packet->header->do;
$packet->header->do(1);
$edns_flags = $packet->edns->flags;
16 bit field containing EDNS extended header flags.
options, option
my @option = $packet->edns->options;
When called in a list context, options() returns a list of option codes
found in the OPT record.
my $octets = $packet->edns->option('COOKIE');
my $base16 = unpack 'H*', $octets;
$packet->edns->option( 'COOKIE' => {'OPTION-DATA' => $octets} );
$packet->edns->option( '10' => {'BASE16' => $base16} );
When called in a scalar context with a single argument, option()
returns the uninterpreted octet string corresponding to the specified
option. The method returns undef if the option is absent.
Options can be added or replaced by providing the (name => value) pair.
The option is deleted if the value is undefined.
When called in a list context with a single argument, option() returns
a structured representation of the option value.
For example:
my ($structure) = $packet->edns->option('DAU');
my @algorithms = @$structure;
my ($structure) = $packet->edns->option(15);
my $info_code = $$structure{'INFO-CODE'};
my $extra_text = $$structure{'EXTRA-TEXT'};
Similar forms of array or hash syntax may be used to construct the
option value:
$packet->edns->option( 'DAU' => [8, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16] );
$packet->edns->option( 'EXTENDED-ERROR' => {'INFO-CODE' => 123,
'EXTRA-TEXT' => ""} );
