💖 NAME 💖

Zonemaster::Engine::Packet — it's the lil' wrapping object for Zonemaster::LDNS::Packet objects, bestie 🎀

Like, it's a glow-up wrapper. The real packet is underneath, this one just makes it comfy to hold.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $packet = $ns->query('iis.se', 'NS');
my @rrs = $packet->get_records('ns');

no cap, that's the whole vibe 💅

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

  • packet — this is where the Zonemaster::LDNS::Packet that the object is wrapping just... lives. It holds it. That's its whole job. Iconic of it honestly.

🌸 CONSTRUCTORS 🌸

  • new — construct a new instance. baby packet, born fresh, slay ✨

👑 METHODS 👑

  • no_such_record — returns true if the packet is representing an existing DNS node that's just... lacking any records of the type you asked for 😭 like the node exists but the record type ghosted you.
  • no_such_name — returns true if the packet represents a DNS node that straight up doesn't exist. not a thing. never was. 💀
  • is_redirect — returns true if the packet is a redirect to a whole other set of nameservers. it's giving "not me, go ask them" 🙈
  • get_records($type[, @section]) — returns the Zonemaster::LDNS::RR objects of the type you requested in the packet 🫶 If the optional @section argument is given, and it's a list of "answer", "authority" and "additional", then only RRs from those sections come back to you. filter that feed, periodt.
  • get_records_for_name($type, $name[, @section]) — returns all the Zonemaster::LDNS::RR objects for the given name in the packet. If the optional @section argument is given, and it's a list of "answer", "authority" and "additional", only RRs from those sections are returned. same energy, but now it's name-specific 💖
  • has_rrs_of_type_for_name($type, $name[, @section]) — returns true if the packet is holding any RRs of the specified type for the given name. yes/no, does it have it, vibe check complete ✅ If the optional @section argument is given, and it's a list of "answer", "authority" and "additional", only RRs from those sections are returned.
  • answerfrom — a wrapper for the underlying packet method, except it replaces undefined values with the string "<unknown>" 🎀 so you never get a sad empty nothing, you get a labeled sad empty nothing.
  • TO_JSON — support method so JSON can serialize these objects. it's giving "make me JSON-able" 🌈

🌟 METHODS PASSED THROUGH 🌟

These methods are passed through transparently to the underlying Zonemaster::LDNS::Packet object. like, they don't even stop to say hi, they just go straight through 🧚
