✨ dnsjit.core.object.ieee802 ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual — it's dnsjit.core.object.ieee802(3) and it's all about the IEEE802 part of a packet. yes, the VLAN-flavored part. she's niche but she's iconic 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dnsjit.core.object.ieee802 — the IEEE802 part of a packet 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this is the IEEE802 part of a packet, and like, you can usually find it chillin' in the object chain after you've parsed stuff with — for example — Layer filter. she doesn't just show up out of nowhere, she arrives after the parsing era begins. periodt.

💜 Attributes

• tpid — the Tag protocol identifier. that's her whole thing.
• pcp — the Priority code point.
• dei — the Drop eligible indicator.
• vid — the VLAN identifier.
• ether_type — the packet type ID field / EtherType field. lowkey the main character of this attribute list tbh.

🩷 Functions

• Ieee802:type() — returns the textual type of the object. gives you the vibe in words ✨
• Ieee802:prev() — returns the previous object. throwback to whoever came before her 💫
• Ieee802:cast() — casts the object to the underlining object module and returns it. glow-up to a more specific module, no cap.
• Ieee802:uncast() — casts the object to the generic object module and returns it. the reverse glow-up, back to basics.
• Ieee802:copy() — makes a copy of the object and returns it. twin moment 👯
• Ieee802:free() — frees the object.

⚠️ bestie, listen: Ieee802:free() should only be used on copies or on objects that were otherwise allocated. do NOT be out here freeing things you didn't own. that's giving undefined behaviour energy and we do not claim it 🙈
