Net::DNS::RR::NULL(3)

💜 Net::DNS::RR::NULL — like, the whole manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, you're reading Net::DNS::RR::NULL(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and honestly? it's a short one. we love a low-effort icon. ✨

---

🌸 NAME

Net::DNS::RR::NULL — the DNS NULL resource record. yes, it's literally called NULL, no cap, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name NULL \# length hexdata ...');

that's it. that's the whole thing. you pass the name, the type NULL, and then \# followed by the length and the hexdata. slay 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

it's the class for DNS null (NULL) resource records. straightforward. no notes. 👑

---

⭐ METHODS

okay so here's the thing — the available methods are the ones you inherit from the base class, plus the extra type-specific methods defined in this very package. so like, you get the family genetics and the individual personality 💖

⚠️ real talk: using undocumented package features or poking directly at internal data structures is discouraged — and not in a cute way. it could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. so like... don't. seriously. 😭

🍓 rdlength

$rdlength = $rr->rdlength;

returns the length of the record data section. that's it. that's the method. short queen 🎀

🌈 rdata

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

returns the record data section as binary data. also lets you set it, because we're generous like that ✨
