____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The  ident  package  provides  a  client  implementation of the ident protocol 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 dictionary.  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 meanings:

              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  mes-sage message
                     sage is returned under the error key.
