ONVIF::...ostType(3)

📦 version 1.38.6, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ONVIF::...ostType(3) — the whole manual, bestie

Okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the star of the show is ONVIF::...ostType(3). Yes the title got chopped mid-word, no we're not going to be normal about it. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

So the NAME section up there is, like, completely empty in the source. Nothing. A whole heading with zero lore. The module's name lives in the title, and that's genuinely all we get 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's a Perl data type class for the XML Schema–defined simpleType NetworkHostType, hanging out in the namespace http://www.onvif.org/ver10/schema. Slay, namespaces.

This class is derived from:

SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string .

Real talk: SOAP::WSDL's schema implementation does not validate data, so you can use it exactly like its base type. No vibe check on your input, it simply does not care 🙈

And then there's this line sitting there being an icon of unfinished business:

# Description of restrictions not implemented yet.

That's it. That's the restrictions description. Not implemented. Noted. Moving on 😭

🎀 METHODS 🎀

new

Constructor. Classic. Builds you a fresh little object, main character energy 👑

get_value / set_value

Getter and setter for the simpleType's value. Get it, set it, that's the whole plot 💖

🦋 OVERLOADING 🦋

Depending on the simple type's base type, these operations get overloaded:

  • Stringification
  • Numerification
  • Boolification

Check SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin for more information — that's where the full tea lives, iykyk ⭐

🌈 AUTHOR 🌈

Generated by SOAP::WSDL. It literally wrote itself, honestly iconic.

Heads up bestie: if you're digging into the overload behaviour, the page points you at SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin — that's the reference, not me making stuff up 💜

✨ cute lil sign-off ✨ This was perl v5.42.3, dated 1980-01-01 — yes, that date is giving time-travel glitch, but it's what the footer says, so we respect it 🍓 Bye bestie, go forth and stringify responsibly 💅
