.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\s-1EDNS OPT\s0 pseudo resource record.
.PP
The \s-1OPT\s0 record supports \s-1EDNS\s0 protocol extensions and is not intended to be
created, accessed or modified directly by user applications.
.PP
All access to \s-1EDNS\s0 features is performed indirectly by operations on the
packet header. The underlying mechanism is entirely hidden from the user.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented
by the type-specific methods defined in this package.
.PP
Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data
structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or
other unpredictable behaviour.
.SS "version"
.IX Subsection "version"
.Vb 1
\&    $version = $rr\->version;
.Ve
.PP
The version of \s-1EDNS\s0 used by this \s-1OPT\s0 record.
.SS "size"
.IX Subsection "size"
.Vb 2
\&        $size = $packet\->edns\->size;
\&        $more = $packet\->edns\->size(1280);
.Ve
.PP
\&\fIsize()\fR advertises the maximum size (octets) of \s-1UDP\s0 packet that can be
reassembled in the network stack of the originating host.
.SS "rcode"
.IX Subsection "rcode"
.Vb 2
\&        $extended_rcode   = $packet\->header\->rcode;
\&        $incomplete_rcode = $packet\->edns\->rcode;
.Ve
.PP
The 12 bit extended \s-1RCODE.\s0 The most significant 8 bits reside in the \s-1OPT\s0
record. The least significant 4 bits can only be obtained from the packet
header.
.SS "flags"
.IX Subsection "flags"
.Vb 1
\&        $edns_flags = $packet\->edns\->flags;
\&
\&        $do = $packet\->header\->do;
\&        $packet\->header\->do(1);
.Ve
.PP
16 bit field containing \s-1EDNS\s0 extended header flags.
.SS "options, option"
.IX Subsection "options, option"
.Vb 1
\&        @option = $packet\->edns\->options;
\&
\&        $octets = $packet\->edns\->option($option_code);
\&
\&        $packet\->edns\->option( NSID => \*(Aqvalue\*(Aq );
\&        $packet\->edns\->option( 3    => \*(Aqvalue\*(Aq );
.Ve
.PP
When called in a list context, \fIoptions()\fR returns a list of option codes
found in the \s-1OPT\s0 record.
.PP
When called with a single argument, \fIoption()\fR returns the octet string
corresponding to the specified option. The function value is undefined
if the specified option is absent.
.PP
Options can be changed by providing an argument list containing one or
more (name => value) pairs to be added or modified. The effect of such
changes is cumulative. An option is deleted if the value is undefined.
