πŸ’– dnsjit.core.object.ether β€” the ether era πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the dnsjit Library Functions Manual, and it's all about dnsjit.core.object.ether, which is the Ether part of a packet. yes, like ethernet. we're going there. pull up a chair. πŸŽ€

✨ NAME ✨

dnsjit.core.object.ether β€” the Ether part of a packet. that's it, that's the whole name, she's lowkey humble about it πŸ¦‹

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the ether part of a packet is exactly what it sounds like: it's the chunk of the packet that's the Ether object. you'll usually find it hanging out in the object chain after parsing β€” like when you've run it through, for example, a Layer filter. iykyk, the chain is the whole vibe. ✨

πŸ“ Attributes

  • dhost β€” the destination ether address. where it's going, bestie. πŸ’Œ
  • shost β€” the source ether address. where it came from, no cap. 🫢
  • type β€” the packet type ID field / EtherType field. the "what even is this" label. πŸ‘‘

πŸ’… Functions

  • Ether:type() β€” return the textual type of the object. gives you the type as text, iconic. 🌈
  • Ether:prev() β€” return the previous object. like scrolling up in the group chat to see what came before. πŸ™ˆ
  • Ether:cast() β€” cast the object to the underlining object module and return it. glow-up moment. ✨
  • Ether:uncast() β€” cast the object to the generic object module and return it. reverse glow-up, still serving. πŸ’œ
  • Ether:copy() β€” make a copy of the object and return it. twin energy fr fr. πŸ‘―
  • Ether:free() β€” free the object, should only be used on copies or otherwise allocated. ⚠️ listen, do NOT just free whatever you want, only copies or stuff that's otherwise allocated. read the warning, it's giving important. 🚨
ok but actually, that Ether:free() caveat is real and it matters: only use it on copies or on objects that were otherwise allocated. don't be out here freeing objects that don't belong to you, bestie, that's how you get a crash. πŸ’€
