DESCRIPTION
This is a shell to be able to use Net::DRI without writing any code.
Most of the time commands are the name of methods to use on the Net::DRI object, with some
extra ones and some variations in API to make passing parameters simpler.
AVAILABLE COMMANDS
After having started this shell, the available commands are the following.
SESSION COMMANDS
add_registry registry=REGISTRYNAME clID=YOURLOGIN
Replace REGISTRYNAME with the Net::DRI::DRD module you want to use, and YOURLOGIN with
your client login for this registry.
add_current_profile name=profile1 type=epp defer=0 client_login=YOURLOGIN
client_password=YOURPASSWORD
This will really connect to the registry, replace YOURLOGIN by your client login at
registry, and YOURPASSWORD by the associated password. You may have to add parameters
remote_host= and remote_port= to connect to other endpoints than the hardcoded default
which is most of the time the registry OT&E server, and not the production one !
add registry=REGISTRYNAME clID=YOURLOGIN name=profile1 type=epp defer=0
client_login=YOURLOGIN client_password=YOURPASSWORD
This is a shortcut, doing the equivalent of add_registry, and then add_current_profile.
get_info_all
After each call to the registry, like domain_info or domain_check, this will list all
available data retrieved from registry. Things are pretty-printed as much as possible. You
should call get_info_all right after your domain_something call otherwise if you do
another operation previous information is lost. This is done automatically for you on the
relevant commands, but you can also use it manually at any time.
show profiles
Show the list of registries and associated profiles currently in use (opened in this shell
with add_registry + add_current_profile, or add).
show tlds
Show the list of TLDs handled by the currently selected registry.
show periods
Show the list of allowed periods (domain name durations) for the currently selected
registry.
show objects
Show the list of managed objects types at the currently selected registry.
show types
Show the list of profile types at the currently selected registry
show status
Show the list of available status for the currently selected registry, to use as status
name in some commands below (domain_update_status_* domain_update host_update_status_*
host_update contact_update_status_* contact_update).
show config
This will show all current config options. See "set" command below for the list of config
options.
set OPTION=VALUE
The set command can be used to change some options inside the shell.
The current list of available options is:
verbose
Set this option to 1 if you want a dump of all data retrieved from registry automatically
after each operation, including failed ones, and including all displaying raw data
exchanged with registry.
target REGISTRYNAME PROFILENAME
Switch to registry REGISTRYNAME (from currently available registries) and profile
PROFILENAME (from currently available profiles in registry REGISTRYNAME).
run FILENAME
Will open the local FILENAME and read in it commands and execute all of them; you can also
start your shell with a filename as argument and its commands will be run at beginning of
session before giving the control back. They will be displayed (username and password will
be masked) with their results.
record FILENAME
If called with a filename argument, all subsequent commands, and their results will be
printed in the filename given. If called without argument, it stops a current recording
session.
!cmd
All command line starting with a bang (!) will be treated as local commands to run through
the local underlying OS shell.
Example: !ls -l will display the content of the current directory.
help
Returns a succinct list of available commands.
quit
Leave the shell.

billing and tech contact ids are mandatory or optional depending on the registry. They may
be repeated (except registrant) for registries allowing multiple contacts per role.
domain_info DOMAIN
Do a domain_info call to the registry for the domain YOURDOMAIN ; most of the the
registries prohibit getting information on domain names you do not sponsor.
domain_check DOMAIN
Do a domain_check call to the registry for the domain ANYDOMAIN ; you can check any
domain, existing or not, if you are the sponsoring registrar or not.

Start, or stop an incoming transfer, query status of a current running transfer, accept or
refuse an outgoing domain name transfer.
The AUTHCODE is mandatory or optional, depending on the registry.
The duration is optional and can be specified (the allowed values depend on the registry)
as Ayears or Bmonths where A and B are integers for the number of years or months (this
can be abbreviated as Ay or Bm).

message_delete [ID]
Delete a message waiting at registry.
message_waiting
Notifies if messages are waiting at registry.
message_count
Get the numbers of messages waiting at the registry.
COMPLETION
If Term::Readline::Gnu or Term::Readline::Perl are installed, it will be automatically
used by this shell to provide standard shell autocompletion for commands and parameters.
All commands described above will be available through autocompletion. As you use them,
all parameters (domain names, contacts, hostnames, local files) will also be stored and
provided to later autocompletion calls (with the [TAB] key).
It will also autocomplete registry= and type= parameters during add/add_registry, from a
basic default set of values: registry= values are taken from a basic Net::DRI install
without taking into account any private DRD module, and type= values are a default set,
not checked against registry= value. Same for target calls, where registry and/or profile
name will be autocompleted as possible.
It will even autocomplete TLD on domain names for your current registry after your typed
the first label and a dot (and eventually some other characters), during any domain name
operation. Same for durations and status values.
Contacts and nameservers will also be autocompleted when used in any domain_* operation.
Contacts attributes will be autocompleted during contact_create based on the current
registry & profile.
Information retrieved with domain_info calls will also be used in later autocompletion
tries, regarding contact ids and hostnames. During a contact creation, the registry
returned contact id is also added for later autocompletion tries.
For autocompletion, contacts are specific to each registry. Hostnames are common to all
registries, as are domain names, but domain names are checked against the available TLDs
of the current registry when used for autocompletion.
LOGGING
By default, all operations will have some logging information done in files stored in the
working directory. There will be a core.log file for all operations and then one file per
tuple (registry,profile).
BATCH OPERATIONS
Batch operations are available for some domain name commands: domain_create,
domain_delete, domain_renew, domain_check, domain_info, domain_transfer and all
domain_update commands. It can be used on a list of domain names for which all other
parameters needed by the command are the same.
To do that, just use the command normally as outlined above, but instead of the domain
name, put a file path, with at least one / (so for a file "batch.txt" in the current
directory, use "./batch.txt").
If you use backticks such as `command` for the domain name, the command will be started
locally and its output will be used just like a file.
The shell will then apply the command and its parameters on the domain names listed in the
specified file: you should have one domain name per line, blank lines and lines starting
with # are ignored.
At the same place a new file is created with a name derived from the given name in which
the result of each domain name command will be written. If "input" is the filename used,
the results will be written to "input.PID.TIME.results" where PID is the program id of the
running shell for these commands and TIME the Unix epoch when the batch started.
As output the shell will give a summary of the number of operations done for each possible
outcome (success or error), as well as time statistics.
