NAME

Net::SLP - Perl extension for accessing the Service Location Protocol (SLP) API. SLP can be used to discover the location of services

SYNOPSIS

use Net::SLP; my $handle; Net::SLP::SLPOpen('', 0, $handle); Net::SLP::SLPReg($handle, 'service:mytestservice.x://zulu.airspayce.com:9048', # URL Net::SLP::SLP_LIFETIME_MAXIMUM, # lifetime '', # srvtype (ignored) '(attr1=val1),(attr2=val2),(attr3=val3)', # attrs 1, # Register. SLP does not support reregister. \&regcallback) Net::SLP::SLPFindSrvs($handle, 'mytestservice.x', '', '', \&urlcallback); Net::SLP::SLPClose($handle);

# Called when a service is registered or deregisted with # SLPReg(), SLPDeReg() and SLPDelAttrs() functions. sub regcallback { my ($errcode) = @_; } # Called when a service URL is available from SLPFindSrvs # This callback returns SLP_TRUE if it wishes to be called again if there is more # data, else SLP_FALSE # If $errcode == SLP_LAST_CALL, then there is no more data sub urlcallback { my ($srvurl, $lifetime, $errcode) = @_; return Net::SLP::SLP_TRUE; }

DESCRIPTION

SLP is the Service Location Protocol, a protocol fpor discovering the location and attributes of servers for some required service. There is a standard C API for SLP, and this module is a wrapper around that API. The API is described in RFC2614, see which for detailed API usage. All RFC2614 functions are implmeneted except for SLPParseSrvURL() and SLPFree().
