Net::F...itation(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv6::NeighborSolicitation — it's the ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation type object from the Net::Frame family. yes that's a whole mouthful, we know, but she's iconic and she does exactly one job and she does it slay. 🦋

(this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, aka 3pm, in case you were wondering where you wandered into 💅)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no notes:

use Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv6::NeighborSolicitation;

my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv6::NeighborSolicitation->new(
   reserved      => 0,
   targetAddress => '::1',
);
$layer->pack;

print 'RAW: '.$layer->dump."\n";

# Read a raw layer
my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv6::NeighborSolicitation->new(
   raw => $raw,
);

print $layer->print."\n";
print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
   if $layer->payload;

like. she builds, she packs, she dumps, she reads raw bytes back in. versatile queen 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this module implements the encoding and decoding of the ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation object. that's it, that's the whole assignment, and she ate. 🔥

also go look at Net::Frame::Layer for other attributes and methods — that's where the rest of the family lives.

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

• reserved — should be zeroed. like, zero. nothing. empty. the void. don't put stuff here bestie, it's reserved for a reason 😭
• targetAddress — an IPv6 address. the whole point of the neighbor solicitation, lowkey the main character here 💫
• options — an arrayref of Net::Frame::Layer::Option objects.

and these next ones are the inherited attributes — go read Net::Frame::Layer if you want the full lore:

• raw
• payload
• nextLayer

---

💅 METHODS 💅

🫶 new

🫶 new (hash)

object constructor, bestie. you can pass attributes in and they'll overwrite the default ones. peep the SYNOPSIS for what the default values look like — they're right there, no gatekeeping 💖

🫶 getOptionsLength

returns the length in bytes of options, and it's 0 if there aren't any. simple. clean. we love a one-job method.

---

the following are the inherited methods. some of them might be overridden in this layer, and some of them might genuinely not mean anything in this layer — that's just how it is, no cap. see Net::Frame::Layer for more:

• layer
• computeLengths
• computeChecksums
• pack
• unpack
• encapsulate
• getLength
• getPayloadLength
• print
• dump

---

⭐ CONSTANTS ⭐

No constants here. that's it. empty. a beautiful blank page. 🕊️
