=head1 NAME EV::ADNS - lightweight asynchronous dns queries using EV and libadns =head1 SYNOPSIS use EV; use EV::ADNS; EV::ADNS::submit "example.com", EV::ADNS::r_a, 0, sub { my ($status, $expires, @a) = @_; warn $a[0]; # "127.13.166.3" etc. }; EV::loop; =head1 DESCRIPTION This is a simple interface to libadns (asynchronous dns) that integrates well and automatically into the EV event loop. The documentation for libadns is vital to understand this module, see L. You can use it only with EV (directly or indirectly, e.g. via L). Apart from loading and using the C function you need not do anything (except run an EV event loop). =head1 OVERVIEW All the constants/enums from F are available in the EV::ADNS namespace, without the C prefix, e.g. C becomes C, C becomes C and so on. =head1 FUNCTIONS =over 4 =item $query = EV::ADNS::submit "domain", $rrtype, $flags, $cb Submits a new request to be handled. See the C C function description for more details. The function optionally returns a query object which can be used to cancel an in-progress request. You do not need to store the query object, even if you ignore it the query will proceed. The callback will be invoked with a result status, the time the resource record validity expires and zero or more resource records, one scalar per result record. Example: sub adns_cb { my ($status, $expires, @rr) = @_; if ($status == EV::ADNS::s_ok) { use JSON::XS; warn to_json \@rr; } } The format of result records varies considerably, here is some cursory documentation of how each record will look like, depending on the query type: =over 4 =item EV::ADNS::rr_a An IPv4 address in dotted quad (string) form. =item EV::ADNS::r_ns_raw, EV::ADNS::r_cname, EV::ADNS::r_ptr, EV::ADNS::r_ptr_raw The resource record as a simple string. =item EV::ADNS::r_txt An arrayref of strings. =item EV::ADNS::r_ns A "host address", a hostname with any number of addresses (hint records). Currently only the hostname will be stored, so this is alway an arrayref with a single element of the hostname. Future versions might add additional address entries. =item EV::ADNS::r_hinfo An arrayref consisting of the two strings. =item EV::ADNS::r_rp, EV::ADNS::r_rp_raw An arrayref with two strings. =item EV::ADNS::r_mx An arrayref consisting of the priority and a "host address" (see C). Example: [10, "mail10.example.com"] =item EV::ADNS::r_mx_raw An arrayref consisting of the priority and the hostname, e.g. C<[10, "mail.example.com"]>. =item EV::ADNS::r_soa, EV::ADNS::r_soa_raw An arrayref consisting of the primary nameserver, admin name, serial, refresh, retry expire and minimum times, e.g.: ["ns.example.net", "hostmaster@example.net", 2000001102, 86400, 21600, 2592000, 172800] The "raw" form doesn't mangle the e-mail address. =item EV::ADNS::r_srv_raw An arrayref consisting of the priority, weight, port and hostname, e.g.: [10, 10, 5060, "sip1.example.net"] =item EV::ADNS::r_srv The same as C, but the hostname is replaced by a "host address" (see C). =item EV::ADNS::r_unknown A single octet string with the raw contents. =item anything else Currently C. =back =item $query->cancel Cancels a request that is in progress. =back =cut package EV::ADNS; use Carp (); use EV (); BEGIN { $VERSION = '0.2'; require XSLoader; XSLoader::load (EV::ADNS, $VERSION); } =head1 SEE ALSO L, L another interface to adns, maybe better, but without real support to integrate it into other event loops. =head1 AUTHOR Marc Lehmann http://home.schmorp.de/ =cut 1
