💖 dnsjit.core.object.loop — like, the OpenBSD loopback encapsulation (loop) part of a packet

okay bestie, welcome to dnsjit.core.object.loop(3) from the dnsjit library functions manual, and no cap this one is short but she is mighty. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

dnsjit.core.object.loop — the OpenBSD loopback encapsulation (loop) part of a packet. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the loop part of a packet? it's usually chilling in the object chain right after you parse it with, like, a Layer filter or whatever. it's giving "I show up after the parsing party starts". 🎀

🫶 Attributes

• family — the link-layer header that describes what type of packet is encapsulated. it literally tells you what's inside. icon status. 👑

🧚 Functions

• Loop:type() — returns the textual type of the object. she tells you what she is, verbally, out loud.
• Loop:prev() — returns the previous object. the one that came before. the prequel era. ⭐
• Loop:cast() — casts the object to the underlining object module and returns it. glow-up transformation sequence ✨
• Loop:uncast() — casts the object to the generic object module and returns it. de-transformation, we love range 🌈
• Loop:copy() — makes a copy of the object and returns it. twin moment, no cap. 🙈
• Loop:free() — frees the object. ⚠️ should only be used on copies or otherwise allocated. do not free something you don't own, that's the drama we do not want. 💀
