Net::DNS::RR::L64(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Net::DNS::RR::L64 — the DNS L64 resource record module. Welcome to the Net::DNS::RR::L64(3) manual page, bestie 💖 this is where the 64-bit Locator record lore lives.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Type it exactly, no cap:

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name IN L64 preference locator64');

$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new(
                name       => 'example.com',
                type       => 'L64',
                preference => 10,
                locator64  => '2001:0DB8:1140:1000'
                );

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Class for DNS 64-bit Locator (L64) resource records. It's giving very specific DNS energy ✨

The L64 resource record is used to hold 64-bit Locator values for ILNPv6-capable nodes.

🧚 METHODS 🧚

The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package.

⚠️ Bestie, listen: 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 maybe don't poke the internals with a stick 💀

🌸 preference

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

A 16 bit unsigned integer in network byte order that indicates the relative preference for this L64 record among other L64 records associated with this owner name. Lower values are preferred over higher values. Lowkey simple: smaller number = more preferred 👑

🦋 locator64

$locator64 = $rr->locator64;

The Locator64 field is an unsigned 64-bit integer in network byte order that has the same syntax and semantics as a 64-bit IPv6 routing prefix. Very network, very byte order, very slay 🌈
