UDP(3)

UDP(3) 💖✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about the udp manual page, version 1.2, and it's giving networking main character energy. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

packet.transport.udp — the UDP module, periodt. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It decodes the UDP layer. That's it, that's the whole vibe. No cap, it literally just does the one thing and it does it beautifully. 👑

---

🎀 CLASSES 🎀

class UDP(baseobj.BaseObj)

This is the UDP object itself. Your girl. Your icon. Your fave. 🫶

💫 Usage

Like, here's how you'd actually summon her:

from packet.transport.udp import UDP

x = UDP(pktt)

📦 Object definition

Behold, the whole shape of her, every single field, exactly as written:

UDP(
    src_port = int,
    dst_port = int,
    length   = int,
    checksum = int,
    psize    = int,       # payload data size
    data     = string,    # raw data of payload if unable to decode
)

lowkey gorgeous, ngl. 🌈

🔧 Methods defined here

okay so this is the part where we get into the actual methods:

• __init__(self, pktt) — the Constructor. It initializes the object's private data. 💖

And here's what you're passing in:

• pktt: the Packet trace object (packet.pktt.Pktt), which exists so that this layer can access the parent layers. iykyk. 🧚
