=head1 NAME
C<Socket> - networking constants and support functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
C<Socket> a low-level module used by, among other things, the L<IO::Socket>
family of modules. The following examples demonstrate some low-level uses but
a practical program would likely use the higher-level API provided by
C<IO::Socket> or similar instead.
use Socket qw(PF_INET SOCK_STREAM pack_sockaddr_in inet_aton);
socket(my $socket, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
or die "socket: $!";
my $port = getservbyname "echo", "tcp";
connect($socket, pack_sockaddr_in($port, inet_aton("localhost")))
or die "connect: $!";
print $socket "Hello, world!\n";
print <$socket>;
See also the L</EXAMPLES> section.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a variety of constants, structure manipulators and other
functions related to socket-based networking. The values and functions
provided are useful when used in conjunction with Perl core functions such as
socket(), setsockopt() and bind(). It also provides several other support
functions, mostly for dealing with conversions of network addresses between
human-readable and native binary forms, and for hostname resolver operations.
Some constants and functions are exported by default by this module; but for
backward-compatibility any recently-added symbols are not exported by default
and must be requested explicitly. When an import list is provided to the
C<use Socket> line, the default exports are not automatically imported. It is
therefore best practice to always to explicitly list all the symbols required.
Also, some common socket "newline" constants are provided: the constants
C<CR>, C<LF>, and C<CRLF>, as well as C<$CR>, C<$LF>, and C<$CRLF>, which map
to C<\015>, C<\012>, and C<\015\012>. If you do not want to use the literal
characters in your programs, then use the constants provided here. They are
not exported by default, but can be imported individually, and with the
C<:crlf> export tag:
use Socket qw(:DEFAULT :crlf);
$sock->print("GET / HTTP/1.0$CRLF");
The entire getaddrinfo() subsystem can be exported using the tag C<:addrinfo>;
this exports the getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions, and all the
C<AI_*>, C<NI_*>, C<NIx_*> and C<EAI_*> constants.

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

Protocol family constants to use as the first argument to socket() or the
value of the C<SO_DOMAIN> or C<SO_FAMILY> socket option.

such functions as inet_pton() or getaddrinfo(), or are returned by such
functions as sockaddr_family().

=head1 STRUCTURE MANIPULATORS
The following functions convert between lists of Perl values and packed binary
strings representing structures.
=cut
=head2 $family = sockaddr_family $sockaddr
Takes a packed socket address (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in(),
pack_sockaddr_un() or the perl builtin functions getsockname() and
getpeername()). Returns the address family tag. This will be one of the
C<AF_*> constants, such as C<AF_INET> for a C<sockaddr_in> addresses or
C<AF_UNIX> for a C<sockaddr_un>. It can be used to figure out what unpack to
use for a sockaddr of unknown type.
=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_in $port, $ip_address
Takes two arguments, a port number and an opaque string (as returned by
inet_aton(), or a v-string). Returns the C<sockaddr_in> structure with those
arguments packed in and C<AF_INET> filled in. For Internet domain sockets,
this structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(),
connect(), and send().
=head2 ($port, $ip_address) = unpack_sockaddr_in $sockaddr
Takes a C<sockaddr_in> structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in(),
getpeername() or recv()). Returns a list of two elements: the port and an
opaque string representing the IP address (you can use inet_ntoa() to convert
the address to the four-dotted numeric format). Will croak if the structure
does not represent an C<AF_INET> address.
In scalar context will return just the IP address.
=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_in $port, $ip_address
=head2 ($port, $ip_address) = sockaddr_in $sockaddr
A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_in() or unpack_sockaddr_in(). In list context,
unpacks its argument and returns a list consisting of the port and IP address.
In scalar context, packs its port and IP address arguments as a C<sockaddr_in>
and returns it.
Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
pack_sockaddr_in() or unpack_sockaddr_in() explicitly.
=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_in6 $port, $ip6_address, [$scope_id, [$flowinfo]]
Takes two to four arguments, a port number, an opaque string (as returned by
inet_pton()), optionally a scope ID number, and optionally a flow label
number. Returns the C<sockaddr_in6> structure with those arguments packed in
and C<AF_INET6> filled in. IPv6 equivalent of pack_sockaddr_in().
=head2 ($port, $ip6_address, $scope_id, $flowinfo) = unpack_sockaddr_in6 $sockaddr
Takes a C<sockaddr_in6> structure. Returns a list of four elements: the port
number, an opaque string representing the IPv6 address, the scope ID, and the
flow label. (You can use inet_ntop() to convert the address to the usual
string format). Will croak if the structure does not represent an C<AF_INET6>
address.
In scalar context will return just the IP address.
=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_in6 $port, $ip6_address, [$scope_id, [$flowinfo]]
=head2 ($port, $ip6_address, $scope_id, $flowinfo) = sockaddr_in6 $sockaddr
A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_in6() or unpack_sockaddr_in6(). In list context,
unpacks its argument according to unpack_sockaddr_in6(). In scalar context,
packs its arguments according to pack_sockaddr_in6().
Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
pack_sockaddr_in6() or unpack_sockaddr_in6() explicitly.
=head2 $sockaddr = pack_sockaddr_un $path
Takes one argument, a pathname. Returns the C<sockaddr_un> structure with that
path packed in with C<AF_UNIX> filled in. For C<PF_UNIX> sockets, this
structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(), connect(),
and send().
=head2 ($path) = unpack_sockaddr_un $sockaddr
Takes a C<sockaddr_un> structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_un(),
getpeername() or recv()). Returns a list of one element: the pathname. Will
croak if the structure does not represent an C<AF_UNIX> address.
=head2 $sockaddr = sockaddr_un $path
=head2 ($path) = sockaddr_un $sockaddr
A wrapper of pack_sockaddr_un() or unpack_sockaddr_un(). In a list context,
unpacks its argument and returns a list consisting of the pathname. In a
scalar context, packs its pathname as a C<sockaddr_un> and returns it.
Provided largely for legacy compatibility; it is better to use
pack_sockaddr_un() or unpack_sockaddr_un() explicitly.
These are only supported if your system has E<lt>F<sys/un.h>E<gt>.
=head2 $ip_mreq = pack_ip_mreq $multiaddr, $interface
Takes an IPv4 multicast address and optionally an interface address (or
C<INADDR_ANY>). Returns the C<ip_mreq> structure with those arguments packed
in. Suitable for use with the C<IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP> and C<IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP>
sockopts.
=head2 ($multiaddr, $interface) = unpack_ip_mreq $ip_mreq
Takes an C<ip_mreq> structure. Returns a list of two elements; the IPv4
multicast address and interface address.
=head2 $ip_mreq_source = pack_ip_mreq_source $multiaddr, $source, $interface
Takes an IPv4 multicast address, source address, and optionally an interface
address (or C<INADDR_ANY>). Returns the C<ip_mreq_source> structure with those
arguments packed in. Suitable for use with the C<IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP>
and C<IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP> sockopts.
=head2 ($multiaddr, $source, $interface) = unpack_ip_mreq_source $ip_mreq
Takes an C<ip_mreq_source> structure. Returns a list of three elements; the
IPv4 multicast address, source address and interface address.
=head2 $ipv6_mreq = pack_ipv6_mreq $multiaddr6, $ifindex
Takes an IPv6 multicast address and an interface number. Returns the
C<ipv6_mreq> structure with those arguments packed in. Suitable for use with
the C<IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP> and C<IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP> sockopts.
=head2 ($multiaddr6, $ifindex) = unpack_ipv6_mreq $ipv6_mreq
Takes an C<ipv6_mreq> structure. Returns a list of two elements; the IPv6
address and an interface number.
=cut
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=cut
=head2 $ip_address = inet_aton $string
Takes a string giving the name of a host, or a textual representation of an IP
address and translates that to an packed binary address structure suitable to
pass to pack_sockaddr_in(). If passed a hostname that cannot be resolved,
returns C<undef>. For multi-homed hosts (hosts with more than one address),
the first address found is returned.
For portability do not assume that the result of inet_aton() is 32 bits wide,
in other words, that it would contain only the IPv4 address in network order.
This IPv4-only function is provided largely for legacy reasons. Newly-written
code should use getaddrinfo() or inet_pton() instead for IPv6 support.
=head2 $string = inet_ntoa $ip_address
Takes a packed binary address structure such as returned by
unpack_sockaddr_in() (or a v-string representing the four octets of the IPv4
address in network order) and translates it into a string of the form
C<d.d.d.d> where the C<d>s are numbers less than 256 (the normal
human-readable four dotted number notation for Internet addresses).
This IPv4-only function is provided largely for legacy reasons. Newly-written
code should use getnameinfo() or inet_ntop() instead for IPv6 support.
=head2 $address = inet_pton $family, $string
Takes an address family (such as C<AF_INET> or C<AF_INET6>) and a string
containing a textual representation of an address in that family and
translates that to an packed binary address structure.
See also getaddrinfo() for a more powerful and flexible function to look up
socket addresses given hostnames or textual addresses.
=head2 $string = inet_ntop $family, $address
Takes an address family and a packed binary address structure and translates
it into a human-readable textual representation of the address; typically in
C<d.d.d.d> form for C<AF_INET> or C<hhhh:hhhh::hhhh> form for C<AF_INET6>.
See also getnameinfo() for a more powerful and flexible function to turn
socket addresses into human-readable textual representations.
=head2 ($err, @result) = getaddrinfo $host, $service, [$hints]
Given both a hostname and service name, this function attempts to resolve the
host name into a list of network addresses, and the service name into a
protocol and port number, and then returns a list of address structures
suitable to connect() to it.
Given just a host name, this function attempts to resolve it to a list of
network addresses, and then returns a list of address structures giving these
addresses.
Given just a service name, this function attempts to resolve it to a protocol
and port number, and then returns a list of address structures that represent
it suitable to bind() to. This use should be combined with the C<AI_PASSIVE>
flag; see below.
Given neither name, it generates an error.
If present, $hints should be a reference to a hash, where the following keys
are recognised:
=over 4
=item flags => INT
A bitfield containing C<AI_*> constants; see below.
=item family => INT
Restrict to only generating addresses in this address family
=item socktype => INT
Restrict to only generating addresses of this socket type
=item protocol => INT
Restrict to only generating addresses for this protocol
=back
The return value will be a list; the first value being an error indication,
followed by a list of address structures (if no error occurred).
The error value will be a dualvar; comparable to the C<EI_*> error constants,
or printable as a human-readable error message string. If no error occurred it
will be zero numerically and an empty string.
Each value in the results list will be a hash reference containing the following
fields:
=over 4
=item family => INT
The address family (e.g. C<AF_INET>)
=item socktype => INT
The socket type (e.g. C<SOCK_STREAM>)
=item protocol => INT
The protocol (e.g. C<IPPROTO_TCP>)
=item addr => STRING
The address in a packed string (such as would be returned by
pack_sockaddr_in())
=item canonname => STRING
The canonical name for the host if the C<AI_CANONNAME> flag was provided, or
C<undef> otherwise. This field will only be present on the first returned
address.
=back
The following flag constants are recognised in the $hints hash. Other flag
constants may exist as provided by the OS.
=over 4
=item AI_PASSIVE
Indicates that this resolution is for a local bind() for a passive (i.e.
listening) socket, rather than an active (i.e. connecting) socket.
=item AI_CANONNAME
Indicates that the caller wishes the canonical hostname (C<canonname>) field
of the result to be filled in.
=item AI_NUMERICHOST
Indicates that the caller will pass a numeric address, rather than a hostname,
and that getaddrinfo() must not perform a resolve operation on this name. This
flag will prevent a possibly-slow network lookup operation, and instead return
an error if a hostname is passed.
=back
=head2 ($err, $hostname, $servicename) = getnameinfo $sockaddr, [$flags, [$xflags]]
Given a packed socket address (such as from getsockname(), getpeername(), or
returned by getaddrinfo() in a C<addr> field), returns the hostname and
symbolic service name it represents. $flags may be a bitmask of C<NI_*>
constants, or defaults to 0 if unspecified.
The return value will be a list; the first value being an error condition,
followed by the hostname and service name.
The error value will be a dualvar; comparable to the C<EI_*> error constants,
or printable as a human-readable error message string. The host and service
names will be plain strings.
The following flag constants are recognised as $flags. Other flag constants may
exist as provided by the OS.
=over 4
=item NI_NUMERICHOST
Requests that a human-readable string representation of the numeric address be
returned directly, rather than performing a name resolve operation that may
convert it into a hostname. This will also avoid potentially-blocking network
IO.
=item NI_NUMERICSERV
Requests that the port number be returned directly as a number representation
rather than performing a name resolve operation that may convert it into a
service name.
=item NI_NAMEREQD
If a name resolve operation fails to provide a name, then this flag will cause
getnameinfo() to indicate an error, rather than returning the numeric
representation as a human-readable string.
=item NI_DGRAM
Indicates that the socket address relates to a C<SOCK_DGRAM> socket, for the
services whose name differs between TCP and UDP protocols.
=back
The following constants may be supplied as $xflags.
=over 4
=item NIx_NOHOST
Indicates that the caller is not interested in the hostname of the result, so
it does not have to be converted. C<undef> will be returned as the hostname.
=item NIx_NOSERV
Indicates that the caller is not interested in the service name of the result,
so it does not have to be converted. C<undef> will be returned as the service
name.
=back
=head1 getaddrinfo() / getnameinfo() ERROR CONSTANTS
The following constants may be returned by getaddrinfo() or getnameinfo().
Others may be provided by the OS.
=over 4
=item EAI_AGAIN
A temporary failure occurred during name resolution. The operation may be
successful if it is retried later.
=item EAI_BADFLAGS
The value of the C<flags> hint to getaddrinfo(), or the $flags parameter to
getnameinfo() contains unrecognised flags.
=item EAI_FAMILY
The C<family> hint to getaddrinfo(), or the family of the socket address
passed to getnameinfo() is not supported.
=item EAI_NODATA
The host name supplied to getaddrinfo() did not provide any usable address
data.
=item EAI_NONAME
The host name supplied to getaddrinfo() does not exist, or the address
supplied to getnameinfo() is not associated with a host name and the
C<NI_NAMEREQD> flag was supplied.
=item EAI_SERVICE
The service name supplied to getaddrinfo() is not available for the socket
type given in the $hints.
=back
=cut
=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 Lookup for connect()
The getaddrinfo() function converts a hostname and a service name into a list
of structures, each containing a potential way to connect() to the named
service on the named host.
use IO::Socket;
use Socket qw(SOCK_STREAM getaddrinfo);
my %hints = (socktype => SOCK_STREAM);
my ($err, @res) = getaddrinfo("localhost", "echo", \%hints);
die "Cannot getaddrinfo - $err" if $err;
my $sock;
foreach my $ai (@res) {
my $candidate = IO::Socket->new();
$candidate->socket($ai->{family}, $ai->{socktype}, $ai->{protocol})
or next;
$candidate->connect($ai->{addr})
or next;
$sock = $candidate;
last;
}
die "Cannot connect to localhost:echo" unless $sock;
$sock->print("Hello, world!\n");
print <$sock>;
Because a list of potential candidates is returned, the C<while> loop tries
each in turn until it finds one that succeeds both the socket() and connect()
calls.
This function performs the work of the legacy functions gethostbyname(),
getservbyname(), inet_aton() and pack_sockaddr_in().
In practice this logic is better performed by L<IO::Socket::IP>.
=head2 Making a human-readable string out of an address
The getnameinfo() function converts a socket address, such as returned by
getsockname() or getpeername(), into a pair of human-readable strings
representing the address and service name.
use IO::Socket::IP;
use Socket qw(getnameinfo);
my $server = IO::Socket::IP->new(LocalPort => 12345, Listen => 1) or
die "Cannot listen - $@";
my $socket = $server->accept or die "accept: $!";
my ($err, $hostname, $servicename) = getnameinfo($socket->peername);
die "Cannot getnameinfo - $err" if $err;
print "The peer is connected from $hostname\n";
Since in this example only the hostname was used, the redundant conversion of
the port number into a service name may be omitted by passing the
C<NIx_NOSERV> flag.
use Socket qw(getnameinfo NIx_NOSERV);
my ($err, $hostname) = getnameinfo($socket->peername, 0, NIx_NOSERV);
This function performs the work of the legacy functions unpack_sockaddr_in(),
inet_ntoa(), gethostbyaddr() and getservbyport().
In practice this logic is better performed by L<IO::Socket::IP>.
=head2 Resolving hostnames into IP addresses
To turn a hostname into a human-readable plain IP address use getaddrinfo()
to turn the hostname into a list of socket structures, then getnameinfo() on
each one to make it a readable IP address again.
use Socket qw(:addrinfo SOCK_RAW);
my ($err, @res) = getaddrinfo($hostname, "", {socktype => SOCK_RAW});
die "Cannot getaddrinfo - $err" if $err;
while( my $ai = shift @res ) {
my ($err, $ipaddr) = getnameinfo($ai->{addr}, NI_NUMERICHOST, NIx_NOSERV);
die "Cannot getnameinfo - $err" if $err;
print "$ipaddr\n";
}
The C<socktype> hint to getaddrinfo() filters the results to only include one
socket type and protocol. Without this most OSes return three combinations,
for C<SOCK_STREAM>, C<SOCK_DGRAM> and C<SOCK_RAW>, resulting in triplicate
output of addresses. The C<NI_NUMERICHOST> flag to getnameinfo() causes it to
return a string-formatted plain IP address, rather than reverse resolving it
back into a hostname.
This combination performs the work of the legacy functions gethostbyname()
and inet_ntoa().
=head2 Accessing socket options
The many C<SO_*> and other constants provide the socket option names for
getsockopt() and setsockopt().
use IO::Socket::INET;
use Socket qw(SOL_SOCKET SO_RCVBUF IPPROTO_IP IP_TTL);
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => 0, Proto => 'udp')
or die "Cannot create socket: $@";
$socket->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, 64*1024) or
die "setsockopt: $!";
print "Receive buffer is ", $socket->getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF),
" bytes\n";
print "IP TTL is ", $socket->getsockopt(IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL), "\n";
As a convenience, L<IO::Socket>'s setsockopt() method will convert a number
into a packed byte buffer, and getsockopt() will unpack a byte buffer of the
correct size back into a number.
