DESCRIPTION

The "Net::Netid" module contains various methods used lookup the basic information, domaind name, IP address, name server, mail box exchanger avaiable for a Internet host from Internet Domain Name Servers (DNS).

The following may be used either as methods of the "Net::Netid" module or as stand-alone subroutines imported into the using module:

netid description

\%results = netid($str, \%options)
\%results = netid($str,  @options)
\%results = netid($str)

The netid method lookups the basic information avaiable for the Internet host identified by $str on the Internet Domain Name Servers (DNS).

The netid method $str input may be either an Internet address string (dot or number notation), domain string or a packed four byte integer. The intenet address may be either an integer, integer string or a dot notation string. The @options input may have the following keys: qw(report results network).

The netid method will use the ipid method to find the $domain, $host, $ip_addr_dot for $str and $options{network}. If $options{network} is present, $str should be a four byte integer. The netid method will then use the system nslookup and $ip_addr_dot to find the name server and mail exchanger domain and ip addresses: qw(ns_domain ns_ip_addr_dot mx_domain mx_ip_addr_dot)

The netid will place these results in the following %results hash keys:

C<qw(domain host ip_addr_dot ns_domain ns_ip_addr_dot mx_domain  mx_ip_addr_dot)>

The \%result hash reference is either the supplied result = \%result> option or if this option is not present the reference to a hash created by netid.

If the report = 1> option is present, the netid method will also format the results in a report and add it to the %result hash under the key netid_report.

ipid description

($domain, $host, $ip_addr_dot, $ip_addr_network) = ipid($str)
($domain, $host, $ip_addr_dot, $ip_addr_network) = ipid($str, $network)

The ipid method lookups a host Internet address and domain name identified by $str on the Internet Domain Name Servers (DNS).

The ipid method $str input may be either an Internet address string (dot or number notation), domain string or a packed four byte integer. If $str is a packed four byte integer, the second argument, $network, should be supplied.

The netid method will set either $domain $ip_addr_dot or $ip_addr_network to $str based on netid determination of $str. The netid method will then use the Domain Name Servers to fill in the missing information.

ip2dot description

$ip_addr_dot = ip2dot($ip_addr_str)
$ip_addr_dot = ip2dot($ip_addr_str, $network)

The ip2dot method converts a Internet Address string, $ip_addr_str, to a Internet Address string in the decimal dot notation. If the conversion, fails, the ip2dot returns an undef.

The ipid method $ip_addr_str input may be either an Internet address string (dot or number notation), or a packed four byte integer. If $ip_addr_str is a packed four byte integer, the second argument, $network, should be supplied.

net2dot description

$ip_addr_dot = net2dot($ip_addr_integer)

The net2dot method converts a packed four byte network Internet Address integer, $ip_addr_integer, to a dot notation string, $ip_addr_dot.

dot2net description

$ip_addr_integer = dot2net($ip_addr_dot)

The dot2net method converts a dot notation string, $ip_addr_dot integer, $ip_addr_integer, to a packed four byte network Internet Address.

clean_ip_str description

($ip_addr_dot,$port) = clean_ip_str($str)

The clean_ip_str cleans up string, $str, that identifies an Internet host. The method will extract the string from common punctuation such as surrounding brackets. The method will unescape any web %XX hexadecimal escapes and separate out any port number.

clean_netid description

\%results = clean_netid($str, \@options)
\%results = clean_netid($str,  @options)
\%results = clean_netid($str)

The clean_netid method will use the clean_ip_str on the host identification string, $str, and use the cleaned string to call netid.

clean_ipid description

($domain, $host, $ip_addr_dot, $ip_addr_network) = clean_ipid($str, $network)

The clean_netid method will use the clean_ip_str on the host identification string, $str, and use the cleaned string to call ipid.

clean_ip2dot description

$ip_addr_dot = clean_ip2dot($ip_addr_str, $network)

The clean_netid method will use the clean_ip_str on the host address string, $ip_addr_str, and use the cleaned string to call ip2dot.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

The module "t::Net::Netid" is the Software Test Description(STD) module for the "Net::Netid". module.

To generate all the test output files, run the generated test script, run the demonstration script and include it results in the "Net::Netid" POD, execute the following in any directory:

tmake -test_verbose -replace -run  -pm=t::Net::Netid

Note that tmake.pl must be in the execution path $ENV{PATH} and the "t" directory containing "t::Net::Netid" on the same level as the "lib" directory that contains the "Net::Netid" module.
