=head1 NAME

FTN::SRIF - Perl extension to parse an Fidonet/FTN Standard Request Information File.

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.05

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.05';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Parsing an FTN SRIF (Standard Request Information File) received by an FTN mailer for what
is being requested by another mailer.  A common use of such files is for use by an external
request processor (ERP) for an Fidonet/FTN mailer.

To give an example of it being used:

    use FTN::SRIF qw(&parse_srif);
    ...
    $srif_info = FTN::SRIF::parse_srif($SRIF);
    ...
    $request_file = ${$srif_info}{'RequestList'};
    $response_file = ${$srif_info}{'ResponseList'};
    ...

=head1 EXPORT

The following is a list of functions that can be exported:  parse_srif().

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 parse_srif

Syntax:	$srif_info = parse_srif($srif_file);

Parses the SRIF $srif_file and returns the information therein as a refererence
to a hash containing the SRIF information.  Note that the only keyword that is
allowed to have multiple values is the one for Akas, which is returned as a
refererence to an array containing the Akas list.

The base set of keys to the hash, and also that required in the SRIF,
are as follows:

=over 4

=item Sysop


This is the name of the remote sysop

=item AKA


This is the main aka of the remote system in 4D or 5D notation. A zero
as point number may be ommited, the domain with "@" is optional.  This
is included in a key, Akas, which is a reference to an array containing it.

=item Baud


This is the effective baud rate, not the fixed DTE rate

=item Time


This is the time till next event which does not allow file requests.
Use -1 if there is no limit.

=item RequestList


This is the filename of the file containing the request list. If
the request(s) is for files, it will be a listing of files being
requested.

=item ResponseList


This is the filename of the response list. It must not be equal
to RequestList. One file per line, including drives/pathes to the
file. The first character defines the way the mailer should act after
sending that file:
    =   erase file if sent successfully
    +   do not erase the file after sent
    -   erase the file in any case after session

=item RemoteStatus


Defines whether the session is protected by password or not.

=item SystemStatus


Defines whether the remote system is listed in any current nodelist
of a system.

=back

The following are optional statements: these parameters are already known and defined,
but an ERP should run also without them:

=over 4

=item SessionProtocol

e.g. ZAP,ZMO,XMA.

=item AKA


Additional AKAs. One AKA is required (see REQUIRED section, above)
They are included in a key, Akas, which is a reference to an array
containing them.

=item Site


The site info as given e.g. in EMSI handshake

=item Location


The location info as given e.g. in EMSI handshake

=item Phone


The  phone number info as given e.g. in EMSI handshake

=item CallerID


The phone number as delivered by the PTT. This is
only possible in digital networks like ISDN.

=item Password


On protected sessions, the session password. If
no protected session, this parameter must be ommited!

=item DTE


The PC<->Modem speed (so call DTE rate)

=item PORT


The FOSSIL Communication Port. The Mailer should
leave the fossil "hot" for the Request Processor

=item Mailer


The Mailer name as defined by FTC

=item MailerCode


The hex code of the remote mailer as defined by FTC

=item SerialNumber


The remote mailer's serial number if transfered

=item Version


The remote mailer's version number if transfered

=item Revision


The remote mailer's revision number if transfered

=item SessionType


The session-type, this may be one of the known
session types or "OTHER" if not (yet) defined

=item OurAKA


If the mailer does AKA matching, the AKA of the
mailer being called

=item TRANX


The unix-style time stamp (hexadecimal notation
of seconds since 1.1.1980)

=back

	    $srif_info{$keyword} = $value;	# add to SRIF hash

	} else {

	    push @akas, $value;			# add to akas array
