SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.3package require ident ?0.42?
::ident::query socket ?callback?
DESCRIPTION
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.
-
