NAME

       Net::DNS::SEC::Tools::dnssectools - General routines for the DNSSEC-Tools package.

SYNOPSIS

         use Net::DNS::SEC::Tools::dnssectools;

         dt_adminmail($subject,$msgbody,$recipient);

         $zspath = dt_cmdpath('zonesigner');

         $ftype = dt_findtype($path);

         $seconds = dt_parse_duration("0w3d1h10m20s")

         $rrset = dt_parse_zonefile(file => 'example.com');

DESCRIPTION

       The dnssectools module provides a general set of methods for use with DNSSEC-Tools
       utilities.

INTERFACES

       The interfaces to the dnssectools module are given below.

       dt_adminmail(subject,msgbody,recipient)
           This routine emails a message to the administrative user listed in the DNSSEC-Tools
           configuration file.

           dt_adminmail() requires two parameters, both scalars.  The subject parameter is the
           subject for the mail message.  The msgbody parameter is the body of the mail message.

           A third parameter, recipient, may be given to specify the message's recipient.  If
           this is not given, then the recipient will be taken from the admin-email record of the
           DNSSEC-Tools configuration file.  If recipient is "nomail", then no message will be
           sent and success will be returned.

           Return values:

                   1 - the message was created and sent.
                   0 - an invalid recipient was specified.

       It relies on the the following dnssec-tools.conf configuration parameters:

       admin-email
           The email address that the mail should come from.

       mailer-type
           Should be one of: sendmail, smtp, qmail.  This option is not required and will default
           to trying sendmail and qmail to deliver the mail.  If mailer-server is set to a
           defined value but mailer-type is not, then mailer-type will default to

       mailer-server
           The server, if admin-mail is set to smtp, that the mail should be delivered to.

       dt_cmdpath(command)
           This routine returns the path to a specified DNSSEC-Tools command.  command should be
           the name only, without any leading directories.  The command name is checked to ensure
           that it is a valid DNSEC-Tools command,

           Return values:

                   The absolute path to the command is returned if the command
                   is valid.
                   Null is returned if the command is not valid.

       dt_filetype(path)
           This routine returns the type of the file named in path.  The rollrec and keyrec
           records contained therein are counted and a type determination is made.

           Return values:

                   "keyrec" -  At least one keyrec record was found and no
                               rollrec records were found.

                   "rollrec" - At least one rollrec record was found and
                               no keyrec records were found.

                   "mixed" -   At least one rollrec record and at least one
                               keyrec record were found.
                               This is most likely an erroneous file.

                   "unknown" - No rollrec records nor keyrec records
                               were found.

                   "nofile"  - The specified file does not exist.

       dt_parse_duration(string)
           This routine translates a duration given in "1w2d3h4m5s" format and returns the
           equivalent number of seconds, or undef if the duration has an invalid format.

       dt_parse_zonefile(options)
           This routine parses a given zone file using the configured zone file parser and
           returns an array reference containing the RRs. The options hash is the same as for
           Net::DNS::ZoneFile::Fast.

           The zone parser to be used depends on the setting of the zonefile-parser configuration
           value.  If this is not set, then the Net::DNS::ZoneFile::Fast zone parser will be
           used.
