dnsjit.core.object.null(3)

💖 dnsjit.core.object.null — the null page from the dnsjit library functions manual ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about the BSD loopback encapsulation (null) part of a packet 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dnsjit.core.object.null — the BSD loopback encapsulation (null) part of a packet, like, literally the whole vibe of this page 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the null part of a packet is that little guy you'll usually find chillin' in the object chain after you parse stuff with, for example, Layer filter. no cap, that's just where it lives 🫶

✨ Attributes ✨

• family — the link-layer header describing what type of packet is encapsulated. it's giving "who am I and what am I wrapped in" energy 💫

💅 Functions 💅

• Null:type() — return the textual type of the object. iconic little name tag moment 🏷️
• Null:prev() — return the previous object. going back to the ex, respectfully 🙈
• Null:cast() — cast the object to the underlining object module and return it.
• Null:uncast() — cast the object to the generic object module and return it.
• Null:copy() — make a copy of the object and return it. twin energy 👯
• Null:free() — free the object, and bestie listen, this should only be used on copies or otherwise allocated. do NOT free something you don't own, that's a one-way ticket to undefined-behaviour city 😭
