NAME
Config::Inetd - Interface inetd's configuration file
SYNOPSIS
use Config::Inetd;
$inetd = Config::Inetd->new;
if ($inetd->is_enabled(telnet => 'tcp')) {
$inetd->disable(telnet => 'tcp');
}
print $inetd->dump_enabled;
print $inetd->dump_disabled;
print $inetd->config->[6];
DESCRIPTION
`Config::Inetd' provides an interface to inetd's configuration file
(usually named inetd.conf); it basically simplifies checking and setting
the enabled/disabled status of services and also allows for dumping them
by a given status.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
$inetd = Config::Inetd->new('/path/to/inetd.conf');
Omitting the path to inetd.conf will cause the default /etc/inetd.conf
to be used.
METHODS
is_enabled
Checks whether a service is enlisted as enabled.
$inetd->is_enabled($service => $protocol);
Returns true if the service is enlisted as enabled, false if enlisted as
disabled and undef if the service does not exist.
enable
Enables a service.
$inetd->enable($service => $protocol);
Returns true if the service has been enabled, false if no action has
been taken.
It is recommended to precedingly call `is_enabled()' with according
arguments supplied to determine whether a service is disabled.
disable
Disables a service.
$inetd->disable($service => $protocol);
Returns true if the service has been disabled, false if no action has
been taken.
It is recommended to precedingly call `is_enabled()' with according
arguments supplied to determine whether a service is enabled.
dump_enabled
Dumps the enabled services.
@dump = $inetd->dump_enabled;
Returns a flat list that consists of the enabled entries as seen in the
configuration file.
dump_disabled
Dumps the disabled services.
@dump = $inetd->dump_disabled;
Returns a flat list that consists of the disabled entries as seen in the
configuration file.
config
Access the tied configuration file.
@config = @{$inetd->config};
Returns an array reference.
INSTANCE DATA
The inetd configuration file is tied as instance data with newlines
preserved; it may be accessed via `$inetd->config'.
BUGS & CAVEATS
It is strongly advised that the configuration file is backuped first if
one is intending to work with the default (i.e., system-wide)
configuration file and not a customized one.
Accessing `@{$inetd->{CONF}}' is deprecated and superseded by
`$inetd->config'.
