package require Tcl 8.3
package require ident ?0.42?
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.
