IO-Socket-INET6 is deprecated.\n\nIO-Socket-INET6 was now succeeded by Paul Evans' IO::Socket::IP .\nPlease convert old code from IO-Socket-INET6 to IO-Socket-IP.\n", "subsections": [] }, "DESCRIPTION": { "content": "\"IO::Socket::INET6\" provides an object interface to creating and using\nsockets in either AFINET or AFINET6 domains. It is built upon the\nIO::Socket interface and inherits all the methods defined by\nIO::Socket.\n", "subsections": [] }, "CONSTRUCTOR": { "content": "new ( [ARGS] )\nCreates an \"IO::Socket::INET6\" object, which is a reference to a\nnewly created symbol (see the \"Symbol\" package). \"new\" optionally\ntakes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.\n\nIn addition to the key-value pairs accepted by IO::Socket,\n\"IO::Socket::INET6\" provides.\n\nDomain Address family AFINET | AFINET6 | AFUNSPEC (default)\nPeerAddr Remote host address [:]\nPeerHost Synonym for PeerAddr\nPeerPort Remote port or service [()] | \nPeerFlow Remote flow information\nPeerScope Remote address scope\nLocalAddr Local host bind address hostname[:port]\nLocalHost Synonym for LocalAddr\nLocalPort Local host bind port [()] | \nLocalFlow Local host flow information\nLocalScope Local host address scope\nProto Protocol name (or number) \"tcp\" | \"udp\" | ...\nType Socket type SOCKSTREAM | SOCKDGRAM | ...\nListen Queue size for listen\nReuseAddr Set SOREUSEADDR before binding\nReuse Set SOREUSEADDR before binding (deprecated, prefer ReuseAddr)\nReusePort Set SOREUSEPORT before binding\nBroadcast Set SOBROADCAST before binding\nTimeout Timeout value for various operations\nMultiHomed Try all addresses for multi-homed hosts\nBlocking Determine if connection will be blocking mode\n\nIf \"Listen\" is defined then a listen socket is created, else if the\nsocket type, which is derived from the protocol, is SOCKSTREAM\nthen connect() is called.\n\nAlthough it is not illegal, the use of \"MultiHomed\" on a socket\nwhich is in non-blocking mode is of little use. This is because the\nfirst connect will never fail with a timeout as the connect call\nwill not block.\n\nThe \"PeerAddr\" can be a hostname, the IPv6-address on the\n\"2001:800:40:2a05::10\" form , or the IPv4-address on the\n\"213.34.234.245\" form. The \"PeerPort\" can be a number or a\nsymbolic service name. The service name might be followed by a\nnumber in parenthesis which is used if the service is not known by\nthe system. The \"PeerPort\" specification can also be embedded in\nthe \"PeerAddr\" by preceding it with a \":\", and closing the IPv6\naddress on brackets \"[]\" if necessary:\n\"124.678.12.34:23\",\"[2a05:345f::10]:23\",\"any.server.com:23\".\n\nIf \"Domain\" is not given, AFUNSPEC is assumed, that is, both\nAFINET and AFINET6 will be both considered when resolving DNS\nnames. AFINET6 has priority. If you guess you are in trouble not\nreaching the peer,(the service is not available via AFINET6 but\nAFINET) you can either try Multihomed (try any address/family\nuntil reach) or concrete your address \"family\" (AFINET, AFINET6).\n\nIf \"Proto\" is not given and you specify a symbolic \"PeerPort\" port,\nthen the constructor will try to derive \"Proto\" from the service\nname. As a last resort \"Proto\" \"tcp\" is assumed. The \"Type\"\nparameter will be deduced from \"Proto\" if not specified.\n\nIf the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed\nto be a \"PeerAddr\" specification.\n\nIf \"Blocking\" is set to 0, the connection will be in nonblocking\nmode. If not specified it defaults to 1 (blocking mode).\n\nExamples:\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',\nPeerPort => 'http(80)',\nProto => 'tcp');\n\nSuppose either you have no IPv6 connectivity or www.perl.org has no\nhttp service on IPv6. Then,\n\n(Trying all address/families until reach)\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',\nPeerPort => 'http(80)',\nMultihomed => 1 ,\nProto => 'tcp');\n\n(Concrete to IPv4 protocol)\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',\nPeerPort => 'http(80)',\nDomain => AFINET ,\nProto => 'tcp');\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'localhost:smtp(25)');\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(Listen => 5,\nLocalAddr => 'localhost',\nLocalPort => 9000,\nProto => 'tcp');\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new('[::1]:25');\n\n$sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerPort => 9999,\nPeerAddr => Socket6::inetntop(AFINET6,in6addrbroadcast),\nProto => udp,\nLocalAddr => 'localhost',\nBroadcast => 1 )\nor die \"Can't bind : $@\\n\";\n\nNOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE\n\nAs of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on\nby default.
