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>;

31See also the L</EXAMPLES> section.
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.

158
159=head1 STRUCTURE MANIPULATORS
160
161The following functions convert between lists of Perl values and packed binary
162strings representing structures.
163
164=cut
165
166=head2 $family = sockaddr_family $sockaddr
167
168Takes a packed socket address (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in(),
169pack_sockaddr_un() or the perl builtin functions getsockname() and
170getpeername()). Returns the address family tag. This will be one of the
171C<AF_*> constants, such as C<AF_INET> for a C<sockaddr_in> addresses or
172C<AF_UNIX> for a C<sockaddr_un>. It can be used to figure out what unpack to
173use for a sockaddr of unknown type.
174
175=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_in $port, $ip_address
176
177Takes two arguments, a port number and an opaque string (as returned by
178inet_aton(), or a v-string). Returns the C<sockaddr_in> structure with those
179arguments packed in and C<AF_INET> filled in. For Internet domain sockets,
180this structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(),
181connect(), and send().
182
183=head2 ($port, $ip_address) = unpack_sockaddr_in $sockaddr
184
185Takes a C<sockaddr_in> structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in(),
186getpeername() or recv()). Returns a list of two elements: the port and an
187opaque string representing the IP address (you can use inet_ntoa() to convert
188the address to the four-dotted numeric format). Will croak if the structure
189does not represent an C<AF_INET> address.
190
191In scalar context will return just the IP address.
192
193=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_in $port, $ip_address
194
195=head2 ($port, $ip_address) = sockaddr_in $sockaddr
196
197A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_in() or unpack_sockaddr_in(). In list context,
198unpacks its argument and returns a list consisting of the port and IP address.
199In scalar context, packs its port and IP address arguments as a C<sockaddr_in>
200and returns it.
201
202Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
203pack_sockaddr_in() or unpack_sockaddr_in() explicitly.
204
205=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_in6 $port, $ip6_address, [$scope_id, [$flowinfo]]
206
207Takes two to four arguments, a port number, an opaque string (as returned by
208inet_pton()), optionally a scope ID number, and optionally a flow label
209number. Returns the C<sockaddr_in6> structure with those arguments packed in
210and C<AF_INET6> filled in. IPv6 equivalent of pack_sockaddr_in().
211
212=head2 ($port, $ip6_address, $scope_id, $flowinfo) = unpack_sockaddr_in6 $sockaddr
213
214Takes a C<sockaddr_in6> structure. Returns a list of four elements: the port
215number, an opaque string representing the IPv6 address, the scope ID, and the
216flow label. (You can use inet_ntop() to convert the address to the usual
217string format). Will croak if the structure does not represent an C<AF_INET6>
218address.
219
220In scalar context will return just the IP address.
221
222=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_in6 $port, $ip6_address, [$scope_id, [$flowinfo]]
223
224=head2 ($port, $ip6_address, $scope_id, $flowinfo) = sockaddr_in6 $sockaddr
225
226A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_in6() or unpack_sockaddr_in6(). In list context,
227unpacks its argument according to unpack_sockaddr_in6(). In scalar context,
228packs its arguments according to pack_sockaddr_in6().
229
230Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
231pack_sockaddr_in6() or unpack_sockaddr_in6() explicitly.
232
233=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_un $path
234
235Takes one argument, a pathname. Returns the C<sockaddr_un> structure with that
236path packed in with C<AF_UNIX> filled in. For C<PF_UNIX> sockets, this
237structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(), connect(),
238and send().
239
240=head2 ($path) = unpack_sockaddr_un $sockaddr
241
242Takes a C<sockaddr_un> structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_un(),
243getpeername() or recv()). Returns a list of one element: the pathname. Will
244croak if the structure does not represent an C<AF_UNIX> address.
245
246=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_un $path
247
248=head2 ($path) = sockaddr_un $sockaddr
249
250A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_un() or unpack_sockaddr_un(). In a list context,
251unpacks its argument and returns a list consisting of the pathname. In a
252scalar context, packs its pathname as a C<sockaddr_un> and returns it.
253
254Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
255pack_sockaddr_un() or unpack_sockaddr_un() explicitly.
256
257These are only supported if your system has E<lt>F<sys/un.h>E<gt>.
258
259=head2 $ip_mreq = pack_ip_mreq $multiaddr, $interface
260
261Takes an IPv4 multicast address and optionally an interface address (or
262C<INADDR_ANY>). Returns the C<ip_mreq> structure with those arguments packed
263in. Suitable for use with the C<IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP> and C<IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP>
264sockopts.
265
266=head2 ($multiaddr, $interface) = unpack_ip_mreq $ip_mreq
267
268Takes an C<ip_mreq> structure. Returns a list of two elements; the IPv4
269multicast address and interface address.
270
271=head2 $ip_mreq_source = pack_ip_mreq_source $multiaddr, $source, $interface
272
273Takes an IPv4 multicast address, source address, and optionally an interface
274address (or C<INADDR_ANY>). Returns the C<ip_mreq_source> structure with those
275arguments packed in. Suitable for use with the C<IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP>
276and C<IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP> sockopts.
277
278=head2 ($multiaddr, $source, $interface) = unpack_ip_mreq_source $ip_mreq
279
280Takes an C<ip_mreq_source> structure. Returns a list of three elements; the
281IPv4 multicast address, source address and interface address.
282
283=head2 $ipv6_mreq = pack_ipv6_mreq $multiaddr6, $ifindex
284
285Takes an IPv6 multicast address and an interface number. Returns the
286C<ipv6_mreq> structure with those arguments packed in. Suitable for use with
287the C<IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP> and C<IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP> sockopts.
288
289=head2 ($multiaddr6, $ifindex) = unpack_ipv6_mreq $ipv6_mreq
290
291Takes an C<ipv6_mreq> structure. Returns a list of two elements; the IPv6
292address and an interface number.

296=head1 FUNCTIONS
297
298=cut
299
300=head2 $ip_address = inet_aton $string
301
302Takes a string giving the name of a host, or a textual representation of an IP
303address and translates that to an packed binary address structure suitable to
304pass to pack_sockaddr_in(). If passed a hostname that cannot be resolved,
305returns C<undef>. For multi-homed hosts (hosts with more than one address),
306the first address found is returned.
307
308For portability do not assume that the result of inet_aton() is 32 bits wide,
309in other words, that it would contain only the IPv4 address in network order.
310
311This IPv4-only function is provided largely for legacy reasons. Newly-written
312code should use getaddrinfo() or inet_pton() instead for IPv6 support.
313
314=head2 $string = inet_ntoa $ip_address
315
316Takes a packed binary address structure such as returned by
317unpack_sockaddr_in() (or a v-string representing the four octets of the IPv4
318address in network order) and translates it into a string of the form
319C<d.d.d.d> where the C<d>s are numbers less than 256 (the normal
320human-readable four dotted number notation for Internet addresses).
321
322This IPv4-only function is provided largely for legacy reasons. Newly-written
323code should use getnameinfo() or inet_ntop() instead for IPv6 support.
324
325=head2 $address = inet_pton $family, $string
326
327Takes an address family (such as C<AF_INET> or C<AF_INET6>) and a string
328containing a textual representation of an address in that family and
329translates that to an packed binary address structure.
330
331See also getaddrinfo() for a more powerful and flexible function to look up
332socket addresses given hostnames or textual addresses.
333
334=head2 $string = inet_ntop $family, $address
335
336Takes an address family and a packed binary address structure and translates
337it into a human-readable textual representation of the address; typically in
338C<d.d.d.d> form for C<AF_INET> or C<hhhh:hhhh::hhhh> form for C<AF_INET6>.
339
340See also getnameinfo() for a more powerful and flexible function to turn
341socket addresses into human-readable textual representations.
342
343=head2 ($err, @result) = getaddrinfo $host, $service, [$hints]
344
345Given both a hostname and service name, this function attempts to resolve the
346host name into a list of network addresses, and the service name into a
347protocol and port number, and then returns a list of address structures
348suitable to connect() to it.
349
350Given just a host name, this function attempts to resolve it to a list of
351network addresses, and then returns a list of address structures giving these
352addresses.
353
354Given just a service name, this function attempts to resolve it to a protocol
355and port number, and then returns a list of address structures that represent
356it suitable to bind() to. This use should be combined with the C<AI_PASSIVE>
357flag; see below.
358
359Given neither name, it generates an error.
360
361If present, $hints should be a reference to a hash, where the following keys
362are recognised:
363
364=over 4
365
366=item flags => INT
367
368A bitfield containing C<AI_*> constants; see below.
369
370=item family => INT
371
372Restrict to only generating addresses in this address family
373
374=item socktype => INT
375
376Restrict to only generating addresses of this socket type
377
378=item protocol => INT
379
380Restrict to only generating addresses for this protocol
381
382=back
383
384The return value will be a list; the first value being an error indication,
385followed by a list of address structures (if no error occurred).
386
387The error value will be a dualvar; comparable to the C<EI_*> error constants,
388or printable as a human-readable error message string. If no error occurred it
389will be zero numerically and an empty string.
390
391Each value in the results list will be a hash reference containing the following
392fields:
393
394=over 4
395
396=item family => INT
397
398The address family (e.g. C<AF_INET>)
399
400=item socktype => INT
401
402The socket type (e.g. C<SOCK_STREAM>)
403
404=item protocol => INT
405
406The protocol (e.g. C<IPPROTO_TCP>)
407
408=item addr => STRING
409
410The address in a packed string (such as would be returned by
411pack_sockaddr_in())
412
413=item canonname => STRING
414
415The canonical name for the host if the C<AI_CANONNAME> flag was provided, or
416C<undef> otherwise. This field will only be present on the first returned
417address.
418
419=back
420
421The following flag constants are recognised in the $hints hash. Other flag
422constants may exist as provided by the OS.
423
424=over 4
425
426=item AI_PASSIVE
427
428Indicates that this resolution is for a local bind() for a passive (i.e.
429listening) socket, rather than an active (i.e. connecting) socket.
430
431=item AI_CANONNAME
432
433Indicates that the caller wishes the canonical hostname (C<canonname>) field
434of the result to be filled in.
435
436=item AI_NUMERICHOST
437
438Indicates that the caller will pass a numeric address, rather than a hostname,
439and that getaddrinfo() must not perform a resolve operation on this name. This
440flag will prevent a possibly-slow network lookup operation, and instead return
441an error if a hostname is passed.
442
443=back
444
445=head2 ($err, $hostname, $servicename) = getnameinfo $sockaddr, [$flags, [$xflags]]
446
447Given a packed socket address (such as from getsockname(), getpeername(), or
448returned by getaddrinfo() in a C<addr> field), returns the hostname and
449symbolic service name it represents. $flags may be a bitmask of C<NI_*>
450constants, or defaults to 0 if unspecified.
451
452The return value will be a list; the first value being an error condition,
453followed by the hostname and service name.
454
455The error value will be a dualvar; comparable to the C<EI_*> error constants,
456or printable as a human-readable error message string. The host and service
457names will be plain strings.
458
459The following flag constants are recognised as $flags. Other flag constants may
460exist as provided by the OS.
461
462=over 4
463
464=item NI_NUMERICHOST
465
466Requests that a human-readable string representation of the numeric address be
467returned directly, rather than performing a name resolve operation that may
468convert it into a hostname. This will also avoid potentially-blocking network
469IO.
470
471=item NI_NUMERICSERV
472
473Requests that the port number be returned directly as a number representation
474rather than performing a name resolve operation that may convert it into a
475service name.
476
477=item NI_NAMEREQD
478
479If a name resolve operation fails to provide a name, then this flag will cause
480getnameinfo() to indicate an error, rather than returning the numeric
481representation as a human-readable string.
482
483=item NI_DGRAM
484
485Indicates that the socket address relates to a C<SOCK_DGRAM> socket, for the
486services whose name differs between TCP and UDP protocols.
487
488=back
489
490The following constants may be supplied as $xflags.
491
492=over 4
493
494=item NIx_NOHOST
495
496Indicates that the caller is not interested in the hostname of the result, so
497it does not have to be converted. C<undef> will be returned as the hostname.
498
499=item NIx_NOSERV
500
501Indicates that the caller is not interested in the service name of the result,
502so it does not have to be converted. C<undef> will be returned as the service
503name.

506
507=head1 getaddrinfo() / getnameinfo() ERROR CONSTANTS

510Others may be provided by the OS.
511
512=over 4
513
514=item EAI_AGAIN
515
516A temporary failure occurred during name resolution. The operation may be
517successful if it is retried later.
518
519=item EAI_BADFLAGS
520
521The value of the C<flags> hint to getaddrinfo(), or the $flags parameter to
522getnameinfo() contains unrecognised flags.
523
524=item EAI_FAMILY
525
526The C<family> hint to getaddrinfo(), or the family of the socket address
527passed to getnameinfo() is not supported.

530
531The host name supplied to getaddrinfo() did not provide any usable address
532data.
533

536The host name supplied to getaddrinfo() does not exist, or the address
537supplied to getnameinfo() is not associated with a host name and the
538C<NI_NAMEREQD> flag was supplied.

563
564 my $sock;
565
566 foreach my $ai (@res) {
567     my $candidate = IO::Socket->new();
568
569     $candidate->socket($ai->{family}, $ai->{socktype}, $ai->{protocol})
570         or next;
571
572     $candidate->connect($ai->{addr})
573         or next;
574
575     $sock = $candidate;
576     last;
577 }
578
579 die "Cannot connect to localhost:echo" unless $sock;
580
581 $sock->print("Hello, world!\n");
582 print <$sock>;
583
584Because a list of potential candidates is returned, the C<while> loop tries
585each in turn until it finds one that succeeds both the socket() and connect()
586calls.
587
588This function performs the work of the legacy functions gethostbyname(),
589getservbyname(), inet_aton() and pack_sockaddr_in().
590
591In practice this logic is better performed by L<IO::Socket::IP>.
592
593=head2 Making a human-readable string out of an address
594
595The getnameinfo() function converts a socket address, such as returned by
596getsockname() or getpeername(), into a pair of human-readable strings
597representing the address and service name.
598
599 use IO::Socket::IP;
600 use Socket qw(getnameinfo);
601
602 my $server = IO::Socket::IP->new(LocalPort => 12345, Listen => 1) or
603     die "Cannot listen - $@";
604
605 my $socket = $server->accept or die "accept: $!";
606
607 my ($err, $hostname, $servicename) = getnameinfo($socket->peername);
608 die "Cannot getnameinfo - $err" if $err;
609
610 print "The peer is connected from $hostname\n";
611
612Since in this example only the hostname was used, the redundant conversion of
613the port number into a service name may be omitted by passing the
614C<NIx_NOSERV> flag.
615
616 use Socket qw(getnameinfo NIx_NOSERV);
617
618 my ($err, $hostname) = getnameinfo($socket->peername, 0, NIx_NOSERV);
619
620This function performs the work of the legacy functions unpack_sockaddr_in(),
621inet_ntoa(), gethostbyaddr() and getservbyport().
622
623In practice this logic is better performed by L<IO::Socket::IP>.
624
625=head2 Resolving hostnames into IP addresses
626
627To turn a hostname into a human-readable plain IP address use getaddrinfo()
628to turn the hostname into a list of socket structures, then getnameinfo() on
629each one to make it a readable IP address again.
630
631 use Socket qw(:addrinfo SOCK_RAW);
632
633 my ($err, @res) = getaddrinfo($hostname, "", {socktype => SOCK_RAW});
634 die "Cannot getaddrinfo - $err" if $err;
635
636 while( my $ai = shift @res ) {
637     my ($err, $ipaddr) = getnameinfo($ai->{addr}, NI_NUMERICHOST, NIx_NOSERV);
638     die "Cannot getnameinfo - $err" if $err;
639
640     print "$ipaddr\n";
641 }
642
643The C<socktype> hint to getaddrinfo() filters the results to only include one
644socket type and protocol. Without this most OSes return three combinations,
645for C<SOCK_STREAM>, C<SOCK_DGRAM> and C<SOCK_RAW>, resulting in triplicate
646output of addresses. The C<NI_NUMERICHOST> flag to getnameinfo() causes it to
647return a string-formatted plain IP address, rather than reverse resolving it
648back into a hostname.
649
650This combination performs the work of the legacy functions gethostbyname()
651and inet_ntoa().
652
653=head2 Accessing socket options
654
655The many C<SO_*> and other constants provide the socket option names for
656getsockopt() and setsockopt().
657
658 use IO::Socket::INET;
659 use Socket qw(SOL_SOCKET SO_RCVBUF IPPROTO_IP IP_TTL);
660
661 my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => 0, Proto => 'udp')
662     or die "Cannot create socket: $@";
663
664 $socket->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, 64*1024) or
665     die "setsockopt: $!";
666
667 print "Receive buffer is ", $socket->getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF),
668     " bytes\n";
669
670 print "IP TTL is ", $socket->getsockopt(IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL), "\n";
671
672As a convenience, L<IO::Socket>'s setsockopt() method will convert a number
673into a packed byte buffer, and getsockopt() will unpack a byte buffer of the
674correct size back into a number.
