Types

type ProtocolError

type ProtocolError struct {
	Line string
}

ProtocolError indicates that an error occurred with the protocol itself, that the response could not be successfully parsed or was malformed.

func (ProtocolError) Error

func (e ProtocolError) Error() string

type Response

type Response struct {
	OS         string
	Charset    string
	Identifier string
}

Response is a successful answer to our query to the identd server.

func Query

func Query(ip string, portOnServer, portOnClient int, timeout time.Duration) (response Response, err error)

Query makes an Ident query, if timeout is >0 the query is timed out after that many seconds.

type ResponseError

type ResponseError struct {
	Type string
}

ResponseError indicates that the identd server returned an error rather than an identifying string.

func (ResponseError) Error

func (e ResponseError) Error() string
