5 =head1 SYNOPSIS
6
7 use EV::ADNS;
8
9 EV::ADNS::submit "example.com", EV::ADNS::r_a, 0, sub {
10 my ($status, $expires, @a) = @_;
11 warn $a[0]; # "127.13.166.3" etc.
12 };

14 =head1 DESCRIPTION
15
16 This is a simple interface to libadns (asynchronous dns) that
17 integrates well and automatically into the EV event loop. The
18 documentation for libadns is vital to understand this module, see
19 L<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/adns/>.
20
21 You can use it only with EV (directly or indirectly, e.g. via
22 L<Glib::EV>). Apart from loading and using the C<submit> function you need
23 not do anything (except run an EV event loop).
24
25 =head1 OVERVIEW
26
27 All the constants/enums from F<adns.h> are available in the EV::ADNS
28 namespace, without the C<adns_> prefix, e.g. C<adns_r_a> becomes
29 C<EV::ADNS::r_a>, C<adns__qtf_deref> becomes C<EV::ADNS::_qtf_deref> and
30 so on.
31
32 =head1 FUNCTIONS
33
34 =over 4
35
36 =item $query = EV::ADNS::submit "domain", $rrtype, $flags, $cb
37
38 Submits a new request to be handled. See the C<adns_submit> C function
39 description for more details. The function optionally returns a query
40 object which can be used to cancel an in-progress request. You do not need
41 to store the query object, even if you ignore it the query will proceed.
42
43 The callback will be invoked with a result status, the time the resource
44 record validity expires and zero or more resource records, one scalar per
45 result record. Example:
46
47 sub adns_cb {
48 my ($status, $expires, @rr) = @_;
49 if ($status == EV::ADNS::s_ok) {
50 use JSON::XS;
51 warn to_json \@rr;
52 }
53 }
54
55 The format of result records varies considerably, here is some cursory
56 documentation of how each record will look like, depending on the query
57 type:
58
59 =over 4
60
61 =item EV::ADNS::rr_a
62
63 An IPv4 address in dotted quad (string) form.
64
65 =item adns_r_ns_raw, adns_r_cname, adns_r_ptr, adns_r_ptr_raw
66
67 The resource record as a simple string.
68
69 =item adns_r_txt
70
71 An arrayref of strings.
72
73 =item adns_r_ns
74
75 A "host address", a hostname with any number of addresses (hint records).
76
77 Currently only the hostname will be stored, so this is alway an arrayref
78 with a single element of the hostname. Future versions might add
79 additional address entries.
80
81 =item adns_r_hinfo
82
83 An arrayref consisting of the two strings.
84
85 =item adns_r_rp, adns_r_rp_raw
86
87 An arrayref with two strings.
88
89 =item adns_r_mx
90
91 An arrayref consisting of the priority and a "host address" (see
92 C<adns_r_ns>). Example:
93
94 [10,"mail10.example.com"]
95
96 =item adns_r_mx_raw:
97
98 An arrayref consisting of the priority and the hostname, e.g. C<[10,
99 "mail.example.com"]>.
100
101 =item adns_r_soa, adns_r_soa_raw
102
103 An arrayref consisting of the primary nameserver, admin name, serial,
104 refresh, retry expire and minimum times, e.g.:
105
106 ["ns.example.net","hostmaster@example.net",2000001102,86400,21600,2592000,172800]
107
108 The "raw" form doesn't mangle the e-mail address.
109
110 =item adns_r_srv_raw
111
112 An arrayref consisting of the priority, weight, port and hostname, e.g.:
113
114 [10,10,5060,"sip1.example.net"]
115
116 =item adns_r_srv
117
118 The same as C<adns_r_srv_raw>, but the hostname is replaced by a "host
119 address" (see C<adns_r_ns>).
120
121 =item adns_r_unknown
122
123 A single octet string with the raw contents.
124
125 =item anything else
126
127 Currently C<undef>.
128
129 =back
130
131 =item $query->cancel
132
133 Cancels a request that is in progress.

150
151 =head1 SEE ALSO
152
153 L<EV>, L<Net::ADNS> another interface to adns, maybe better, but without
154 real support to integrate it into other event loops.
