Zonema...gation(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Zonemaster::Test::Delegation — it's the module that does all the tests about delegation details, bestie. Like, the whole delegation situation. We're checking it. ✨

(and yes, the manual name is the truncated cutie Zonema...gation(3pm) — she's a Perl module, third section, you know how it is 💅)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so this is literally the whole vibe:

my @results = Zonemaster::Test::Delegation->all($zone);

that's it. that's the entry point. slay.

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

here's your toolbox, no cap:

• all($zone) — runs the default set of tests and hands you back a list of log entries that the tests made. it's giving "just do everything for me." iconic.
• translation() — gives you a reference to a hash full of translation data. the builtin translation system uses this, so like, it's for the internals. iykyk.
• metadata() — returns a reference to a hash where the keys are the names of all the test methods in the module, and each value is a reference to a list holding every tag that method can use in its log entries. it's the receipts for what each test is allowed to say. 🧾
• version() — returns a version string for the module. tiny. cute. does its job. 🫶

⭐ TESTS ⭐

this is the main character section, fr fr. every one of these takes $zone:

• delegation01($zone) — verifies that there is more than two nameserver. yep, more than two. that's the requirement, that's the bar. 👑
• delegation02($zone) — verifies that name servers have distinct IP addresses. no sharing, no duplicates, we're not doing that here. ✨
• delegation03($zone) — verifies that there is no truncation on referrals. referrals gotta be complete, no cutting off mid-sentence energy. 💀
• delegation04($zone) — verifies that nameservers are authoritative. like, actually authoritative. the real deal. 🌈
• delegation05($zone) — verifies that NS RRs do not point to CNAME alias. nope. not on our watch. 🚫
• delegation06($zone) — verifies existence of SOA. is it there? we're checking. 🌸
• delegation07($zone) — verifies that parent glue name records are present in child. parent AND child, both need to be in on this. 💜

---

quick reminder bestie: every one of these test methods takes $zone as its argument. don't forget her. she's the whole point. 🙈
