Net::DN...R::HINFO(3)

💖 Net::DN...R::HINFO(3) — the whole vibe 💖

okay so this is the manual page for Net::DN...R::HINFO(3), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and bestie it's literally all about DNS HINFO resource records. it's short, it's sweet, it's iconic. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::DNS::RR::HINFO — the DNS HINFO resource record, i.e. the Hardware Information record. it's giving "tell me what machine you're running on" energy 🖥️🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name HINFO cpu os');

that's it. that's the whole entrance. create a Net::DNS::RR object with a string that says HINFO and then your cpu + os on the end, and boom, you're slaying 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

this is the class for DNS Hardware Information (HINFO) resource records. highkey, that's it. that's the description. it's short but she knows what she is 🦋

---

✨ METHODS ✨

so the available methods are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific ones defined right here in this package. the way that inheritance ate 💜

⚠️ real talk though: use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. so like... don't. ngl that's a whole warning, respect it 🙈

🧠 cpu

$cpu = $rr->cpu;
$rr->cpu( $cpu );

returns the CPU type for this RR. cute little getter, and you can set it too if you pass a $cpu 💻✨

🌈 os

$os = $rr->os;
$rr->os( $os );

returns the operating system type for this RR. same deal — pass an $os and it sets it. getter/setter duo, main character energy fr fr 🫶
