::ident::query socket ? callback ?
The
ident package provides a client implementation of the ident
protocol as defined in
RFC 1413 (
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt).
-
::ident::query socket ? callback ?
-
This command queries the ident daemon on the remote side of the given
socket, and returns the result of the query as a dictionary.
Interpreting the dictionary as list the first key will always be
resp-type, and can have one of the values USERID,
ERROR, and FATAL. These response types have
the following meanings:
- USERID
-
This indicates a successful response. Two more keys and associated
values are returned, opsys, and user-id.
- ERROR
-
This means the ident server has returned an error. A second key named
error is present whose value contains the error-type
field from the server response.
- FATAL
-
Fatal errors happen when no ident server is listening on the remote
side, or when the ident server gives a response that does not conform
to the RFC. A detailed error message is returned under the
error key.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain
bugs and other problems.
Please report such in the category
ident of the
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883.
Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either
package and/or documentation.
