💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Net::DNS::RR::NID(3) page — yes, it's User Contributed Perl Documentation, and we're about to make the DNS NID resource record make sense. This is all about Net::DNS::RR::NID, aka the DNS NID resource record. Niche? Maybe. Iconic? Absolutely. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Like, literally just:

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This class is for DNS Node Identifier (NID) resource records. The Node Identifier (NID) DNS resource record is used to hold values for Node Identifiers that will be used for ILNP-capable nodes. So if ILNP-capable nodes are your thing, this is the record holding their Node Identifier values. 🫶

✨ METHODS ✨

The methods you get are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific methods defined in this package. That's the whole vibe.

⚠️ Real talk: use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged. It could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. So maybe don't poke the internals? 🙈

🎀 preference 🎀

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

This is a 16 bit unsigned integer in network byte order. It indicates the relative preference for this NID record among other NID records associated with this owner name. Lower values are preferred over higher values — smaller number, bigger slay. 💅

🧚 nodeid 🧚

$nodeid = $rr->nodeid;

The NodeID field is an unsigned 64-bit value in network byte order. The text representation uses the same syntax (i.e., groups of 4 hexadecimal digits separated by a colons) that is already used for IPv6 interface identifiers. Yes, "a colons" — we keep the lore. 😭
