SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.3
package require ident ?0.42?
::ident::query socket ?callback?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The ident package provides a client implementation of the ident proto‐
col as defined in RFC 1413 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt).
::ident::query socket ?callback?
This command queries the ident daemon on the remote side of the
given socket, and returns the result of the query as a dictio‐
nary. Interpreting the dictionary as list the first key will
always be resp-type, and can have one of the values USERID,
ERROR, and FATAL. These response types have the following mean‐
ings:
USERID This indicates a successful response. Two more keys and
associated values are returned, opsys, and user-id.
ERROR This means the ident server has returned an error. A
second key named error is present whose value contains
the error-type field from the server response.
FATAL Fatal errors happen when no ident server is listening on
the remote side, or when the ident server gives a
response that does not conform to the RFC. A detailed
error message is returned under the error key.
