Module net

Interact with the networking module For configuration, debugging, and creating signatures with networking key.

Your process must have the Capability to message and receive messages from net:distro:sys to use this module.

Structs

HnsUpdate

Update type used to convert hypermap entries into node identities. Only currently used in userspace for eth:distro:sys configuration.

Identity

The data structure used by net:distro:sys and the rest of the runtime to represent node identities in the HNS (Hyperware Name System).

NamehashToNameRequest

Request to resolve a namehash to a name. Hash is a namehash from hypermap. Block is optional, and if provided will return the name at that block number. If not provided, the latest knowledge will be returned.

Enums

IndexerRequests

Request performed to hns-indexer:hns-indexer:sys, a userspace process installed by default.

IndexerResponses

Response from hns-indexer:hns-indexer:sys.

NetAction

Must be parsed from message pack vector (use rmp-serde). All “Get” actions must be sent from a local process. Used for debugging.

NetResponse

Must be parsed from message pack vector (use rmp-serde).

NodeRouting

Routing information for a node identity. Produced from hypermap data entries and used to create net connections between nodes.

Functions

get_name

Get a crate::hypermap::Hypermap entry name from its namehash.

sign

Sign a message with the node’s networking key. This may be used to prove identity to other parties outside of using the networking protocol.

verify

Verify a signature on a message.
