💅 Net::DNS::RR::HIP(3) — the DNS HIP resource record, bestie edition

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? she's giving niche-but-important. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Net::DNS::RR::HIP — the DNS HIP resource record. yep, that's it, that's the whole name, no notes 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay bestie, here's how you actually use her:

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name IN HIP algorithm hit key servers');

like, that's the whole vibe. one constructor call and you're in 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this is the class for DNS Host Identity Protocol (HIP) resource records. that's literally the entire description and honestly? iconic minimalism 👑

✨ METHODS ✨

okay so here's the tea: the available methods are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific methods that are defined in this very package. so you get the family traits AND her own personality 💖

lowkey important 🚨 — using undocumented package features or reaching directly into internal data structures is discouraged, and it could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. no cap, do not touch the internals. fr fr.

🌟 algorithm

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

the PK algorithm field tells you which public key cryptographic algorithm is in play, and like, the implied format of the public key field. the values are the ones defined for the IPSECKEY algorithm type [RFC4025]. she's referencing RFCs, she's precise, we stan 📚

🌟 hit

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

the hexadecimal representation of the host identity tag. hex girlie behavior ✨

🌟 hitbin

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

the binary representation of the host identity tag. same tag, different fit, both slay 🦋

🌟 key

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

the MIME Base64 representation of the public key. base64 my beloved 💜

🌟 keybin

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

the binary representation of the public key. that's it. that's the method. main character energy, minimal words 🔥

🌟 servers

@servers = $rr->servers;

an optional list of domain names of rendezvous servers. note the @ — she's list context, she's giving plural, she's a whole squad 🎀
