man ident () - Ident protocol client

NAME

ident - Ident protocol client

package require Tcl 8.3 package require ident ?0.42? ::ident::query socket ?callback?

The ident package provides a client implementation of the ident protocol as defined in RFC 1413 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt).

::ident::query socket ?callback?: This command queries the ident daemon on the remote side of the given socket, and returns the result of the query as a dictionary. Interpreting the dictionary as list the first key will always be resp-type, and can have one of the values USERID, ERROR, and FATAL. These response types have the following meanings:
USERID: This indicates a successful response. Two more keys and associated values are returned, opsys, and user-id.
ERROR: This means the ident server has returned an error. A second key named error is present whose value contains the error-type field from the server response.
FATAL: Fatal errors happen when no ident server is listening on the remote side, or when the ident server gives a response that does not conform to the RFC. A detailed error message is returned under the error key.
