Return a field of the object as an ASCII string suitable for HTML output:
$object->get_as_string('foo');
Return a field of the object as an hexified string, or as a fallback, as normal string via get_as_string. The hexify happens only for certain special fields, all other are returned as simple strings:
$object->get_as_hex('foo');
Return the value of a specified field of the object:
$object->get('foo');
Change a field's value after checking that the field can be changed (via can_change) and checking the new value. If the new value does not conform to the expected format, it will be silently modifed (f.i. invalid characters might be removed) and then the change will happen:
$object->change('foo','bar'); # will change $object->{foo} to bar
# if foo can be changed
Return true if the field's value can be changed.
die ("Can not change field $field\n") if !$object->can_change($field);
return if $self->rate_limit();
Returns true if the client's rate limit was reached, meaning no more connects are allowed at the current time.
if ($client->is_proxy())
{
}
Returns true if the client is a proxy, or false for normal clients.
