10C<Socket> - networking constants and support functions
11
12=head1 SYNOPSIS
13
14C<Socket> a low-level module used by, among other things, the L<IO::Socket>
15family of modules. The following examples demonstrate some low-level uses but
16a practical program would likely use the higher-level API provided by
17C<IO::Socket> or similar instead.
18
19 use Socket qw(PF_INET SOCK_STREAM pack_sockaddr_in inet_aton);
20
21 socket(my $socket, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
22     or die "socket: $!";
23
24 my $port = getservbyname "echo", "tcp";
25 connect($socket, pack_sockaddr_in($port, inet_aton("localhost")))
26     or die "connect: $!";
27
28 print $socket "Hello, world!\n";
29 print <$socket>;

32
33=head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35This module provides a variety of constants, structure manipulators and other
36functions related to socket-based networking. The values and functions
37provided are useful when used in conjunction with Perl core functions such as
38socket(), setsockopt() and bind(). It also provides several other support
39functions, mostly for dealing with conversions of network addresses between
40human-readable and native binary forms, and for hostname resolver operations.
41
42Some constants and functions are exported by default by this module; but for
43backward-compatibility any recently-added symbols are not exported by default
44and must be requested explicitly. When an import list is provided to the
45C<use Socket> line, the default exports are not automatically imported. It is
46therefore best practice to always to explicitly list all the symbols required.
47
48Also, some common socket "newline" constants are provided: the constants
49C<CR>, C<LF>, and C<CRLF>, as well as C<$CR>, C<$LF>, and C<$CRLF>, which map
50to C<\015>, C<\012>, and C<\015\012>. If you do not want to use the literal
51characters in your programs, then use the constants provided here. They are
52not exported by default, but can be imported individually, and with the
53C<:crlf> export tag:
54
55 use Socket qw(:DEFAULT :crlf);
56
57 $sock->print("GET / HTTP/1.0$CRLF");
58
59The entire getaddrinfo() subsystem can be exported using the tag C<:addrinfo>;
60this exports the getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions, and all the
61C<AI_*>, C<NI_*>, C<NIx_*> and C<EAI_*> constants.

65=head1 CONSTANTS
66
67In each of the following groups, there may be many more constants provided
68than just the ones given as examples in the section heading. If the heading
69ends C<...> then this means there are likely more; the exact constants
70provided will depend on the OS and headers found at compile-time.

162
163=head1 STRUCTURE MANIPULATORS
164
165The following functions convert between lists of Perl values and packed binary
166strings representing structures.
167
168=cut
169
170=head2 $family = sockaddr_family $sockaddr
171
172Takes a packed socket address (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in(),
173pack_sockaddr_un() or the perl builtin functions getsockname() and
174getpeername()). Returns the address family tag. This will be one of the
175C<AF_*> constants, such as C<AF_INET> for a C<sockaddr_in> addresses or
176C<AF_UNIX> for a C<sockaddr_un>. It can be used to figure out what unpack to
177use for a sockaddr of unknown type.
178
179=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_in $port, $ip_address
180
181Takes two arguments, a port number and an opaque string (as returned by
182inet_aton(), or a v-string). Returns the C<sockaddr_in> structure with those
183arguments packed in and C<AF_INET> filled in. For Internet domain sockets,
184this structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(),
185connect(), and send().
186
187An undefined $port argument is taken as zero; an undefined $ip_address is
188considered a fatal error.
189
190=head2 ($port, $ip_address) = unpack_sockaddr_in $sockaddr
191
192Takes a C<sockaddr_in> structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in(),
193getpeername() or recv()). Returns a list of two elements: the port and an
194opaque string representing the IP address (you can use inet_ntoa() to convert
195the address to the four-dotted numeric format). Will croak if the structure
196does not represent an C<AF_INET> address.
197
198In scalar context will return just the IP address.
199
200=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_in $port, $ip_address
201
202=head2 ($port, $ip_address) = sockaddr_in $sockaddr
203
204A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_in() or unpack_sockaddr_in(). In list context,
205unpacks its argument and returns a list consisting of the port and IP address.
206In scalar context, packs its port and IP address arguments as a C<sockaddr_in>
207and returns it.
208
209Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
210pack_sockaddr_in() or unpack_sockaddr_in() explicitly.
211
212=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_in6 $port, $ip6_address, [$scope_id, [$flowinfo]]
213
214Takes two to four arguments, a port number, an opaque string (as returned by
215inet_pton()), optionally a scope ID number, and optionally a flow label
216number. Returns the C<sockaddr_in6> structure with those arguments packed in
217and C<AF_INET6> filled in. IPv6 equivalent of pack_sockaddr_in().
218
219An undefined $port argument is taken as zero; an undefined $ip6_address is
220considered a fatal error.
221
222=head2 ($port, $ip6_address, $scope_id, $flowinfo) = unpack_sockaddr_in6 $sockaddr
223
224Takes a C<sockaddr_in6> structure. Returns a list of four elements: the port
225number, an opaque string representing the IPv6 address, the scope ID, and the
226flow label. (You can use inet_ntop() to convert the address to the usual
227string format). Will croak if the structure does not represent an C<AF_INET6>
228address.
229
230In scalar context will return just the IP address.
231
232=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_in6 $port, $ip6_address, [$scope_id, [$flowinfo]]
233
234=head2 ($port, $ip6_address, $scope_id, $flowinfo) = sockaddr_in6 $sockaddr
235
236A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_in6() or unpack_sockaddr_in6(). In list context,
237unpacks its argument according to unpack_sockaddr_in6(). In scalar context,
238packs its arguments according to pack_sockaddr_in6().
239
240Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
241pack_sockaddr_in6() or unpack_sockaddr_in6() explicitly.
242
243=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_un $path
244
245Takes one argument, a pathname. Returns the C<sockaddr_un> structure with that
246path packed in with C<AF_UNIX> filled in. For C<PF_UNIX> sockets, this
247structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(), connect(),
248and send().
249
250=head2 ($path) = unpack_sockaddr_un $sockaddr
251
252Takes a C<sockaddr_un> structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_un(),
253getpeername() or recv()). Returns a list of one element: the pathname. Will
254croak if the structure does not represent an C<AF_UNIX> address.
255
256=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_un $path
257
258=head2 ($path) = sockaddr_un $sockaddr
259
260A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_un() or unpack_sockaddr_un(). In a list context,
261unpacks its argument and returns a list consisting of the pathname. In a
262scalar context, packs its pathname as a C<sockaddr_un> and returns it.
263
264Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
265pack_sockaddr_un() or unpack_sockaddr_un() explicitly.
266
267These are only supported if your system has E<lt>F<sys/un.h>E<gt>.
268
269=head2 $ip_mreq = pack_ip_mreq $multiaddr, $interface
270
271Takes an IPv4 multicast address and optionally an interface address (or
272C<INADDR_ANY>). Returns the C<ip_mreq> structure with those arguments packed
273in. Suitable for use with the C<IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP> and C<IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP>
274sockopts.
275
276=head2 ($multiaddr, $interface) = unpack_ip_mreq $ip_mreq
277
278Takes an C<ip_mreq> structure. Returns a list of two elements; the IPv4
279multicast address and interface address.
280
281=head2 $ip_mreq_source = pack_ip_mreq_source $multiaddr, $source, $interface
282
283Takes an IPv4 multicast address, source address, and optionally an interface
284address (or C<INADDR_ANY>). Returns the C<ip_mreq_source> structure with those
285arguments packed in. Suitable for use with the C<IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP>
286and C<IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP> sockopts.
287
288=head2 ($multiaddr, $source, $interface) = unpack_ip_mreq_source $ip_mreq
289
290Takes an C<ip_mreq_source> structure. Returns a list of three elements; the
291IPv4 multicast address, source address and interface address.
292
293=head2 $ipv6_mreq = pack_ipv6_mreq $multiaddr6, $ifindex
294
295Takes an IPv6 multicast address and an interface number. Returns the
296C<ipv6_mreq> structure with those arguments packed in. Suitable for use with
297the C<IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP> and C<IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP> sockopts.
298
299=head2 ($multiaddr6, $ifindex) = unpack_ipv6_mreq $ipv6_mreq
300
301Takes an C<ipv6_mreq> structure. Returns a list of two elements; the IPv6
302address and an interface number.

305
306=head1 FUNCTIONS
307
308=cut
309
310=head2 $ip_address = inet_aton $string
311
312Takes a string giving the name of a host, or a textual representation of an IP
313address and translates that to an packed binary address structure suitable to
314pass to pack_sockaddr_in(). If passed a hostname that cannot be resolved,
315returns C<undef>. For multi-homed hosts (hosts with more than one address),
316the first address found is returned.
317
318For portability do not assume that the result of inet_aton() is 32 bits wide,
319in other words, that it would contain only the IPv4 address in network order.
320
321This IPv4-only function is provided largely for legacy reasons. Newly-written
322code should use getaddrinfo() or inet_pton() instead for IPv6 support.
323
324=head2 $string = inet_ntoa $ip_address
325
326Takes a packed binary address structure such as returned by
327unpack_sockaddr_in() (or a v-string representing the four octets of the IPv4
328address in network order) and translates it into a string of the form
329C<d.d.d.d> where the C<d>s are numbers less than 256 (the normal
330human-readable four dotted number notation for Internet addresses).
331
332This IPv4-only function is provided largely for legacy reasons. Newly-written
333code should use getnameinfo() or inet_ntop() instead for IPv6 support.
334
335=head2 $address = inet_pton $family, $string
336
337Takes an address family (such as C<AF_INET> or C<AF_INET6>) and a string
338containing a textual representation of an address in that family and
339translates that to an packed binary address structure.
340
341See also getaddrinfo() for a more powerful and flexible function to look up
342socket addresses given hostnames or textual addresses.
343
344=head2 $string = inet_ntop $family, $address
345
346Takes an address family and a packed binary address structure and translates
347it into a human-readable textual representation of the address; typically in
348C<d.d.d.d> form for C<AF_INET> or C<hhhh:hhhh::hhhh> form for C<AF_INET6>.
349
350See also getnameinfo() for a more powerful and flexible function to turn
351socket addresses into human-readable textual representations.
352
353=head2 ($err, @result) = getaddrinfo $host, $service, [$hints]
354
355Given both a hostname and service name, this function attempts to resolve the
356host name into a list of network addresses, and the service name into a
357protocol and port number, and then returns a list of address structures
358suitable to connect() to it.
359
360Given just a host name, this function attempts to resolve it to a list of
361network addresses, and then returns a list of address structures giving these
362addresses.
363
364Given just a service name, this function attempts to resolve it to a protocol
365and port number, and then returns a list of address structures that represent
366it suitable to bind() to. This use should be combined with the C<AI_PASSIVE>
367flag; see below.
368
369Given neither name, it generates an error.
370
371If present, $hints should be a reference to a hash, where the following keys
372are recognised:
373
374=over 4
375
376=item flags => INT
377
378A bitfield containing C<AI_*> constants; see below.
379
380=item family => INT
381
382Restrict to only generating addresses in this address family
383
384=item socktype => INT
385
386Restrict to only generating addresses of this socket type
387
388=item protocol => INT
389
390Restrict to only generating addresses for this protocol
391
392=back
393
394The return value will be a list; the first value being an error indication,
395followed by a list of address structures (if no error occurred).
396
397The error value will be a dualvar; comparable to the C<EAI_*> error constants,
398or printable as a human-readable error message string. If no error occurred it
399will be zero numerically and an empty string.
400
401Each value in the results list will be a hash reference containing the following
402fields:
403
404=over 4
405
406=item family => INT
407
408The address family (e.g. C<AF_INET>)
409
410=item socktype => INT
411
412The socket type (e.g. C<SOCK_STREAM>)
413
414=item protocol => INT
415
416The protocol (e.g. C<IPPROTO_TCP>)
417
418=item addr => STRING
419
420The address in a packed string (such as would be returned by
421pack_sockaddr_in())
422
423=item canonname => STRING
424
425The canonical name for the host if the C<AI_CANONNAME> flag was provided, or
426C<undef> otherwise. This field will only be present on the first returned
427address.
428
429=back
430
431The following flag constants are recognised in the $hints hash. Other flag
432constants may exist as provided by the OS.
433
434=over 4
435
436=item AI_PASSIVE
437
438Indicates that this resolution is for a local bind() for a passive (i.e.
439listening) socket, rather than an active (i.e. connecting) socket.
440
441=item AI_CANONNAME
442
443Indicates that the caller wishes the canonical hostname (C<canonname>) field
444of the result to be filled in.
445
446=item AI_NUMERICHOST
447
448Indicates that the caller will pass a numeric address, rather than a hostname,
449and that getaddrinfo() must not perform a resolve operation on this name. This
450flag will prevent a possibly-slow network lookup operation, and instead return
451an error if a hostname is passed.
452
453=back
454
455=head2 ($err, $hostname, $servicename) = getnameinfo $sockaddr, [$flags, [$xflags]]
456
457Given a packed socket address (such as from getsockname(), getpeername(), or
458returned by getaddrinfo() in a C<addr> field), returns the hostname and
459symbolic service name it represents. $flags may be a bitmask of C<NI_*>
460constants, or defaults to 0 if unspecified.
461
462The return value will be a list; the first value being an error condition,
463followed by the hostname and service name.
464
465The error value will be a dualvar; comparable to the C<EAI_*> error constants,
466or printable as a human-readable error message string. The host and service
467names will be plain strings.
468
469The following flag constants are recognised as $flags. Other flag constants may
470exist as provided by the OS.
471
472=over 4
473
474=item NI_NUMERICHOST
475
476Requests that a human-readable string representation of the numeric address be
477returned directly, rather than performing a name resolve operation that may
478convert it into a hostname. This will also avoid potentially-blocking network
479IO.
480
481=item NI_NUMERICSERV
482
483Requests that the port number be returned directly as a number representation
484rather than performing a name resolve operation that may convert it into a
485service name.
486
487=item NI_NAMEREQD
488
489If a name resolve operation fails to provide a name, then this flag will cause
490getnameinfo() to indicate an error, rather than returning the numeric
491representation as a human-readable string.
492
493=item NI_DGRAM
494
495Indicates that the socket address relates to a C<SOCK_DGRAM> socket, for the
496services whose name differs between TCP and UDP protocols.
497

499
500The following constants may be supplied as $xflags.
501
502=over 4
503
504=item NIx_NOHOST
505
506Indicates that the caller is not interested in the hostname of the result, so
507it does not have to be converted. C<undef> will be returned as the hostname.
508
509=item NIx_NOSERV
510
511Indicates that the caller is not interested in the service name of the result,
512so it does not have to be converted. C<undef> will be returned as the service
513name.

525
526A temporary failure occurred during name resolution. The operation may be
527successful if it is retried later.
528
529=item EAI_BADFLAGS

531The value of the C<flags> hint to getaddrinfo(), or the $flags parameter to
532getnameinfo() contains unrecognised flags.

567 use IO::Socket;
568 use Socket qw(SOCK_STREAM getaddrinfo);
569
570 my %hints = (socktype => SOCK_STREAM);
571 my ($err, @res) = getaddrinfo("localhost", "echo", \%hints);
572 die "Cannot getaddrinfo - $err" if $err;
573
574 my $sock;
575
576 foreach my $ai (@res) {
577     my $candidate = IO::Socket->new();
578
579     $candidate->socket($ai->{family}, $ai->{socktype}, $ai->{protocol})
580         or next;
581
582     $candidate->connect($ai->{addr})
583         or next;
584

588
589 die "Cannot connect to localhost:echo" unless $sock;
590
591 $sock->print("Hello, world!\n");
592 print <$sock>;
593
594Because a list of potential candidates is returned, the C<while> loop tries
595each in turn until it finds one that succeeds both the socket() and connect()
596calls.
597
598This function performs the work of the legacy functions gethostbyname(),
599getservbyname(), inet_aton() and pack_sockaddr_in().
600
601In practice this logic is better performed by L<IO::Socket::IP>.
602
603=head2 Making a human-readable string out of an address
604
605The getnameinfo() function converts a socket address, such as returned by
606getsockname() or getpeername(), into a pair of human-readable strings
607representing the address and service name.
608
609 use IO::Socket::IP;
610 use Socket qw(getnameinfo);
611
612 my $server = IO::Socket::IP->new(LocalPort => 12345, Listen => 1) or
613     die "Cannot listen - $@";
614
615 my $socket = $server->accept or die "accept: $!";
616
617 my ($err, $hostname, $servicename) = getnameinfo($socket->peername);
618 die "Cannot getnameinfo - $err" if $err;
619
620 print "The peer is connected from $hostname\n";
621
622Since in this example only the hostname was used, the redundant conversion of
623the port number into a service name may be omitted by passing the
624C<NIx_NOSERV> flag.
625
626 use Socket qw(getnameinfo NIx_NOSERV);
627
628 my ($err, $hostname) = getnameinfo($socket->peername, 0, NIx_NOSERV);
629
630This function performs the work of the legacy functions unpack_sockaddr_in(),
631inet_ntoa(), gethostbyaddr() and getservbyport().
632
633In practice this logic is better performed by L<IO::Socket::IP>.
634
635=head2 Resolving hostnames into IP addresses
636
637To turn a hostname into a human-readable plain IP address use getaddrinfo()
638to turn the hostname into a list of socket structures, then getnameinfo() on
639each one to make it a readable IP address again.
640
641 use Socket qw(:addrinfo SOCK_RAW);
642
643 my ($err, @res) = getaddrinfo($hostname, "", {socktype => SOCK_RAW});
644 die "Cannot getaddrinfo - $err" if $err;
645
646 while( my $ai = shift @res ) {
647     my ($err, $ipaddr) = getnameinfo($ai->{addr}, NI_NUMERICHOST, NIx_NOSERV);
648     die "Cannot getnameinfo - $err" if $err;
649
650     print "$ipaddr\n";
651 }
652
653The C<socktype> hint to getaddrinfo() filters the results to only include one
654socket type and protocol. Without this most OSes return three combinations,
655for C<SOCK_STREAM>, C<SOCK_DGRAM> and C<SOCK_RAW>, resulting in triplicate
656output of addresses. The C<NI_NUMERICHOST> flag to getnameinfo() causes it to
657return a string-formatted plain IP address, rather than reverse resolving it
658back into a hostname.
659
660This combination performs the work of the legacy functions gethostbyname()
661and inet_ntoa().
662
663=head2 Accessing socket options
664
665The many C<SO_*> and other constants provide the socket option names for
666getsockopt() and setsockopt().
667
668 use IO::Socket::INET;
669 use Socket qw(SOL_SOCKET SO_RCVBUF IPPROTO_IP IP_TTL);
670
671 my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => 0, Proto => 'udp')
672     or die "Cannot create socket: $@";
673
674 $socket->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, 64*1024) or
675     die "setsockopt: $!";
676
677 print "Receive buffer is ", $socket->getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF),
678     " bytes\n";
679
680 print "IP TTL is ", $socket->getsockopt(IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL), "\n";
681
682As a convenience, L<IO::Socket>'s setsockopt() method will convert a number
683into a packed byte buffer, and getsockopt() will unpack a byte buffer of the
684correct size back into a number.
