DNSJIT.CORE.OBJECT.ICMP6(3)

💖 dnsjit.core.object.icmp6 — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is dnsjit.core.object.icmp6, a Library Functions manual page from section 3, and it's literally all about one thing: the ICMPv6 packet object. yes bestie, we're in the dnsjit.core.object cinematic universe 🫶

🌈 NAME 🌈

dnsjit.core.object.icmp6 — An ICMPv6 packet 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So. You've got an ICMPv6 packet, right? And it's usually chillin' at the top of the object chain after you parse stuff with, like, the Layer filter for example. main character position, honestly 👑

🎀 Attributes 🎀

these are the fields, the little data girlies living inside the object:

• type — the type of ICMPv6 message. that's it, that's the vibe check.
• code — the (response/error) code for the ICMPv6 type message. so like, the extra detail on top of the type.
• cksum — the ICMPv6 checksum. protecting your bytes, no cap 🛡️

🌸 Functions 🌸

the methods!! the little moves you can pull:

• Icmp6:type() — return the textual type of the object. words instead of numbers, we love a translation arc 💖
• Icmp6:prev() — return the previous object. going back in the chain, lowkey nostalgic 🦋
• Icmp6:cast() — cast the object to the underlining object module and return it. glow up moment ✨
• Icmp6:uncast() — cast the object to the generic object module and return it. back to basics, we love range 💅
• Icmp6:copy() — make a copy of the object and return it. twin energy 👯
• Icmp6:free() — free the object. ⚠️ should only be used on copies or stuff that was otherwise allocated. do NOT be out here freeing the original bestie, that's a one-way ticket to undefined behaviour city 💀
