💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the Net::DN...R::DHCID(3) man page, bestie 🫶 — this one's all about Net::DNS::RR::DHCID, the DNS DHCID resource record. that's it, that's the whole name section, short and iconic ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you actually summon one, no cap:

        use Net::DNS;
        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('client.example.com. DHCID ( AAAB
                xLmlskllE0MVjd57zHcWmEH3pCQ6VytcKD//7es/deY= )');

        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new(
                name            => 'client.example.com',
                type            => 'DHCID',
                digest          => 'ObfuscatedIdentityData',
                digesttype      => 1,
                identifiertype  => 2,
                );

two ways in: the "just hand it the whole zone-file string" way, or the "named parameters, very demure, very mindful" way 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

it's a DNS RR for Encoding DHCP Information (DHCID) 🎀 that's literally the whole vibe. the record type exists so DHCP identity info can live in DNS.

🦋 METHODS 🦋

the available methods are the ones you inherit from the base class, plus the type-specific ones defined in this package. best of both worlds, honestly 👑

⚠️ lowkey important: using undocumented package features or reaching directly into internal data structures is discouraged — fr fr it could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour 💀 like, don't poke the internals, they bite.

identifiertype

        $identifiertype = $rr->identifiertype;

the 16-bit identifier type — it describes the form of host identifier used to construct the DHCP identity information. sixteen whole bits of "what kind of identifier is this" energy ⭐

digesttype

        $digesttype = $rr->digesttype;

the 8-bit digest type number — it describes the message-digest algorithm used to obfuscate the DHCP identity information 🔐 tiny field, big job.

digest

        $digest = $rr->digest;

the binary representation of the digest of DHCP identity information 🧚 straight-up bytes, no fancy decoding, that's the whole thing.
