DESCRIPTION

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, ER‐
28              ROR, 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 re‐
40                     sponse that does not conform to the RFC. A detailed error
41                     message is returned under the error key.
