Net::L...:NSEC3(3pm)

πŸ’– Net::LDNS::RR::NSEC3 β€” the manual, but make it make sense πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this lil page comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about Net::LDNS::RR::NSEC3, a type NSEC3 record. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry πŸ“, and let's get into it.


✨ NAME ✨

Net::LDNS::RR::NSEC3 β€” the Type NSEC3 record, periodt. πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: Net::LDNS::RR::NSEC3 is a subclass of Net::LDNS::RR, which means it inherited everything from its parent β€” main character energy, truly. πŸ‘‘

that means all the methods of Net::LDNS::RR are available to you in addition to the ones documented right here on this page. no cap, you get the whole package. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ METHODS πŸ¦‹

okay so these are the methods, and each one is lowkey doing exactly what it says on the tin. let's go one by one, no skipping. ✨

  • algorithm() β€” returns the algorithm number. that's it, that's the whole vibe. πŸ”’
  • flags() β€” returns the flags field. flags, returned. iconic. 🚩
  • optout() β€” returns the optout flag. yes, the optout flag specifically, she's her own method and she knows it. πŸ’…
  • iterations() β€” returns the iteration count. how many loops? this will tell you. πŸ”
  • salt() β€” returns the cryptographic salt, in binary form. ngl, binary form is important here β€” don't expect a pretty string, expect the raw bytes. πŸ§‚
  • next_owner() β€” returns the next owner field. 🫢
  • typelist() β€” returns the typelist as a space-separated string. chill, readable, cute. 🌈
  • typehref() β€” returns the typelist as a reference to a hash, where the included types are the keys, storing true values. so like, if you wanna check "is this type in here", this is your girl. πŸ”₯
  • covers($name) β€” returns true or false depending on whether the record covers the given name or not. simple, honest, straightforward. ⭐
quick reminder bestie: everything above is in addition to the methods you already get from Net::LDNS::RR, so don't forget to check that class too if something feels missing. πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’œ a lil sign-off πŸ’œ

that's the whole page, bestie β€” you ate that. πŸ“βœ¨ this doc shipped with perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-19, and yeah, the header truncated the name to Net::L...:NSEC3(3pm) like it was running out of room, but we all know who she really is. go write some DNS code, you've got this. πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹πŸ‘‘
