Zonema...Packet(3pm)

💖 Zonemaster::Packet 💖

okay bestie, so this is Zonemaster::Packet, a lil wrapper object from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the 3pm section, iykyk). It wraps up Net::LDNS::Packet objects so you can vibe with DNS packets without touching the raw thing directly. she's giving ✨convenience✨ and honestly? we're obsessed. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Zonemaster::Packet — wrapping object for Net::LDNS::Packet objects. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

look at her go 🦋 query a name, grab the records, done. no notes.

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

• packet — holds the Net::LDNS::Packet that the object is wrapping. it's literally the whole point of this class, the main character, the moment. 👑

---

💅 METHODS 💅

• no_such_record — returns true if the packet represents an existing DNS node that's just... lacking any records of the type you asked for. node exists, the records are a no-show. 😭
• no_such_name — returns true if the packet represents a non-existent DNS node. the name is not giving, because it is not there. 💀
• is_redirect — returns true if the packet is a redirect to another set of nameservers. plot twist, new cast. 🔥
• get_records($type[, $section]) — returns the Net::LDNS::RR objects of the requested type in the packet. and if you pass that optional $section argument, and it's one of "answer", "authority" and "additional", then you only get RRs from that section. very "pick your own adventure". 🌈
• get_records_for_name($type, $name) — returns all the Net::LDNS::RR objects for the given name in the packet. all of them. every single one. 🫶
• has_rrs_of_type_for_name($type, $name) — returns true if the packet holds any RRs of the specified type for the given name. a lil yes/no vibe check. ⭐
• answerfrom — a wrapper for the underlying packet method, except it replaces undefined values with the string "<unknown>". so when the answer is a mystery, she says so. 🙈
• TO_JSON — support method so JSON can actually serialize these objects. thank you for your service, queen. 👑
