CfgTie::TieNet -- A module to tie in the net database
tie %net,'CfgTie::TieNet'
This is a straightforward hash tie that allows us to access the net database sanely.
There are two ties available for programmers:
tie %net,'CfgTie::TieNet'$net{$name} will return a hash reference of the named net information
tie %net_addr,'CfgTIe::TieNet_addr'$net_addr{$addr} will return a hash reference for the specified network address.
Any given net entry has the following information assoicated with it:
Namenet name
AliasesA list reference for other names for this net
AddrTypeThe type of address
AddrThe address
Additionally, the programmer can set any other associated key, but this information will only available to the running Perl script.
CfgTie::Cfgfile, CfgTie::TieAliases, CfgTie::TieGeneric, CfgTie::TieGroup, CfgTie::TieHost, CfgTie::TieNamed, CfgTie::TiePh, CfgTie::TieProto, CfgTie::TieServ, CfgTie::TieShadow, CfgTie::TieUser
The current version does cache some net information.
