HOST
Dave-ee's DNS API
So, here's my super-simple and easy-to-use DNS API. Usage is very simple. All you need is a name of your choice, and a computer ID. BOOM! Done.
There's some more documentation in the API and the demo themselves, so if you get stuck just have a look at those! But there's some functions below..
Functions:
Spoiler
--# Creating an entry
host.new(NAME, ID)
--# Change ID of an entry
host.setID(NAME, NEW_ID)
--# Change NAME of an entry
host.setName(ID, NEW_NAME)
--# Get NAME of an entry
local returned_NAME = host.getName(ID)
--# Get ID of an entry
local returned_ID = host.getID(NAME)
--# Delete an entry
host.delete(NAME)
Errors:
Spoiler
Error:
"host: ID needs to be a number"
Solution:
Make sure that the ID is a number!
Error:
"host: NAME needs to be a string"
Solution:
Make sure that the NAME is a string!
Error:
"host: Record for *NAME* doesn't exist"
Solution:
Make sure the entry exists
Error:
"host: Record for *ID* doesn't exist"
Solution:
Make sure the entry exists
So, as you can see it's very simple and easy to use. It's also extremely lightweight (under 100 lines of code with commenting), and so easy to incorporate into your OS' if you want to (which you are entirely free to do)!
What's the difference between RAM and FS editions?
Glad you asked! RAM Edition means that once the computer has rebooted you have to create all the DNS entries again. Could be useful, could be annoying, which is why I've created 2 different versions of this program.
FS Edition means that all entries are stored in a directory (default: ".hosts") and are referred to that way.
