3 EV::ADNS - lightweight asynchronous dns queries using EV and libadns
4
5 =head1 SYNOPSIS
6
7 use EV;
8 use EV::ADNS;
9
10 EV::ADNS::submit "example.com", EV::ADNS::r_a, 0, sub {
11 my ($status, $expires, @a) = @_;
12 warn $a[0]; # "127.13.166.3" etc.
13 };
14
15 EV::loop;
16
17 =head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19 This is a simple interface to libadns (asynchronous dns) that
20 integrates well and automatically into the EV event loop. The
21 documentation for libadns is vital to understand this module, see
22 L<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/adns/>.
23
24 You can use it only with EV (directly or indirectly, e.g. via
25 L<Glib::EV>). Apart from loading and using the C<submit> function you need
26 not do anything (except run an EV event loop).
27
28 =head1 OVERVIEW
29
30 All the constants/enums from F<adns.h> are available in the EV::ADNS
31 namespace, without the C<adns_> prefix, e.g. C<adns_r_a> becomes
32 C<EV::ADNS::r_a>, C<adns__qtf_deref> becomes C<EV::ADNS::_qtf_deref> and
33 so on.
34
35 =head1 FUNCTIONS
36
37 =over 4
38
39 =item $query = EV::ADNS::submit "domain", $rrtype, $flags, $cb
40
41 Submits a new request to be handled. See the C<adns_submit> C function
42 description for more details. The function optionally returns a query
43 object which can be used to cancel an in-progress request. You do not need
44 to store the query object, even if you ignore it the query will proceed.
45
46 The callback will be invoked with a result status, the time the resource
47 record validity expires and zero or more resource records, one scalar per
48 result record. Example:
49
50 sub adns_cb {
51 my ($status, $expires, @rr) = @_;
52 if ($status == EV::ADNS::s_ok) {
53 use JSON::XS;
54 warn to_json \@rr;
55 }
56 }
57
58 The format of result records varies considerably, here is some cursory
59 documentation of how each record will look like, depending on the query
60 type:
61
62 =over 4
63
64 =item EV::ADNS::rr_a
65
66 An IPv4 address in dotted quad (string) form.
67
68 =item EV::ADNS::r_ns_raw, EV::ADNS::r_cname, EV::ADNS::r_ptr, EV::ADNS::r_ptr_raw
69
70 The resource record as a simple string.
71
72 =item EV::ADNS::r_txt
73
74 An arrayref of strings.
75
76 =item EV::ADNS::r_ns
77
78 A "host address", a hostname with any number of addresses (hint records).
79
80 Currently only the hostname will be stored, so this is alway an arrayref
81 with a single element of the hostname. Future versions might add
82 additional address entries.
83
84 =item EV::ADNS::r_hinfo
85
86 An arrayref consisting of the two strings.
87
88 =item EV::ADNS::r_rp, EV::ADNS::r_rp_raw
89
90 An arrayref with two strings.
91
92 =item EV::ADNS::r_mx
93
94 An arrayref consisting of the priority and a "host address" (see
95 C<EV::ADNS::r_ns>). Example:
96
97 [10, "mail10.example.com"]
98
99 =item EV::ADNS::r_mx_raw
100
101 An arrayref consisting of the priority and the hostname, e.g. C<[10,
102 "mail.example.com"]>.
103
104 =item EV::ADNS::r_soa, EV::ADNS::r_soa_raw
105
106 An arrayref consisting of the primary nameserver, admin name, serial,
107 refresh, retry expire and minimum times, e.g.:
108
109 ["ns.example.net", "hostmaster@example.net", 2000001102, 86400, 21600, 2592000, 172800]
110
111 The "raw" form doesn't mangle the e-mail address.
112
113 =item EV::ADNS::r_srv_raw
114
115 An arrayref consisting of the priority, weight, port and hostname, e.g.:
116
117 [10, 10, 5060, "sip1.example.net"]
118
119 =item EV::ADNS::r_srv
120
121 The same as C<EV::ADNS::r_srv_raw>, but the hostname is replaced by a "host
122 address" (see C<EV::ADNS::r_ns>).
123
124 =item EV::ADNS::r_unknown
125
126 A single octet string with the raw contents.
127
128 =item anything else
129
130 Currently C<undef>.
131
132 =back
133
134 =item $query->cancel
135
136 Cancels a request that is in progress.

147 BEGIN {
148 $VERSION = '0.3';
149

151 XSLoader::load (EV::ADNS, $VERSION);
152 }
153
154 =head1 SEE ALSO
155
156 L<EV>, L<Net::ADNS> another interface to adns, maybe better, but without
157 real support to integrate it into other event loops.
