💖 Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD — a lil' slice of the User Contributed Perl Documentation universe ✨ this is the module that lets you do DNS-SD (that's service discovery, the thing that finds printers and music players on your network 🦋) through the Gnome2::VFS Perl bindings. she's niche, she's specific, and she is so real for that 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD — that's the whole name section, no notes, she said what she said 👑

🎀 METHODS 🎀

every single one of these returns a list, btw. every. single. one. iconic consistency 💖

🫶 list = Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD->browse ($domain, $type, $func, $data=undef)

the async-ish browse vibe. here's the cast of characters you're passing in:

  • $domain — a string 🍓
  • $type — a string 🍓
  • $func — a scalar (your callback energy ✨)
  • $data — a scalar (defaults to undef, no pressure bestie)

🧚 list = Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD->browse_sync ($domain, $type, $timeout_msec)

the same browse but she waits. synchronous queen behavior 😭

  • $domain — a string
  • $type — a string
  • $timeout_msec — an integer, in milliseconds, because we measure patience in msec around here ⏳

🌸 list = Gnome2::VFS->get_default_browse_domains

no arguments. zero. none. she just shows up and hands you a list of the default browse domains like it's nothing 💅 lowkey the easiest call in this whole page fr fr.

🌈 list = Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD->list_browse_domains_sync ($domain, $timeout_msec)

listing the browse domains, but synchronously. main character energy, no callback needed 👑

  • $domain — a string
  • $timeout_msec — an integer

💜 list = Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD->resolve ($name, $type, $domain, $timeout, $func, $data=undef)

resolving time!! this is where you find out what a service actually is 🦋 and yes she takes a whole lil' ensemble:

  • $name — a string
  • $type — a string
  • $domain — a string
  • $timeout — an integer (note: this one's just $timeout, not $timeout_msec — read the signature carefully bestie, they are not the same variable name and I will not be merging them 🙈)
  • $func — a scalar
  • $data — a scalar, defaulting to undef

⭐ list = Gnome2::VFS::DNSSD->resolve_sync ($name, $type, $domain, $timeout_msec)

resolve, but she blocks. the synchronous sister of the one above, and look — the timeout is spelled $timeout_msec here 🎀

  • $name — a string
  • $type — a string
  • $domain — a string
  • $timeout_msec — an integer
