20 The ident package provides a client implementation of the ident proto‐
21 col as defined in RFC 1413 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt).
22
23 ::ident::query socket ?callback?
24 This command queries the ident daemon on the remote side of the
25 given socket, and returns the result of the query as a dictio‐
26 nary. Interpreting the dictionary as list the first key will
27 always be resp-type, and can have one of the values USERID,
28 ERROR, and FATAL. These response types have the following mean‐
29 ings:
30
31 USERID This indicates a successful response. Two more keys and
32 associated values are returned, opsys, and user-id.
33
34 ERROR This means the ident server has returned an error. A
35 second key named error is present whose value contains
36 the error-type field from the server response.
37
38 FATAL Fatal errors happen when no ident server is listening on
39 the remote side, or when the ident server gives a
40 response that does not conform to the RFC. A detailed
41 error message is returned under the error key.

47 also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package
48 and/or documentation.
