Net::N...tus::RR(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::NBName::NodeStatus::RR — the NetBIOS Node Status Response Resource Record, bestie. It's a whole module. Periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: you hit up a NetBIOS node and ask for its status, right? And back comes a big ol' pile of info — and this little icon is the part that represents one name table entry returned as part of a NetBIOS node status response. 🎀

That's it. That's the whole vibe. Each RR object is one row of the name table and it's obsessed with telling you about itself.

🌸 METHODS 🌸

• $rr->name — returns the registered name. It's a string, and it's up to 15 characters long, no more. 💅
• $rr->suffix — the suffix of the registered name, which is literally just the 16th character of the registered name. iconic behavior tbh.

Some common suffixes include:

0x00 Redirector
0x00 Domain (Group)
0x03 Messenger
0x1B Domain Master Browser
0x1C Domain Controllers (Special Group)
0x1D Master Browser
0x1E Browser Elections (Group)
0x20 Server

• $rr->G — the Group flag, bb. It tells you whether the name is a unique name or a group name, and it comes back as a string: either "UNIQUE" or "GROUP". No in-between, no situationships. 🙈

For example, the following name types are UNIQUE:

0x00 Redirector
0x03 Messenger
0x1B Domain Master Browser
0x1D Master Browser
0x20 Server

And the following name types are GROUP:

0x00 Domain (Group)
0x1C Domain Controllers (Special Group)
0x1E Browser Elections (Group)

• $rr->ONT — the Owner Node Type flag 👑. It tells you if the systems are B, P, H, or M-node. It will be returned as a string.
• $rr->DRG — the Deregistering flag. If the name is not currently registered, you get "Deregistering" back. it's giving ghosted 😭
• $rr->ACT — the Active flag.
• $rr->CNF — the Conflict flag.
• $rr->PRM — the Permanent flag.
• $rr->as_string — returns the object's string representation. the glow-up version. ✨
