Net::GP...tellite(3)

💖 Net::GPSD::Satellite 💖

okay bestie, listen — this is the Net::GPSD::Satellite page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual set, and it's literally your little interface for a gps satellite object. one satellite, one object, so much main character energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::GPSD::Satellite — provides an interface for a gps satellite object.

like. it's giving "one tiny satellite, fully object-oriented." we love that for her 🛰️💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so first vibe: you're looping through a whole satellite list and printing out the tea:

use Net::GPSD;
my $obj=Net::GPSD->new();
my $i=0;
print join("\t", qw{Count PRN ELEV Azim SNR USED}), "\n";
foreach ($obj->getsatellitelist) {
  print join "\t", ++$i,
                   $_->prn,
                   $_->elev,
                   $_->azim,
                   $_->snr,
                   $_->used;
                   $_->oid;
  print "\n";
}

or to construct a satelite object (yes, spelled exactly like that, keep scrolling, we'll talk about it):

use Net::GPSD::Satelite;
my $obj=Net::GPSD::Satellite->new(22,80,79,35,1);

or to create a satelite object and set everything yourself:

use Net::GPSD::Satelite;
my $obj=Net::GPSD::Satellite->new();
$obj->prn(22),
$obj->elev(80),
$obj->azim(79),
$obj->snr(35),
$obj->used(1);

no bestie, Satelite is not my typo, that's how it's written up there and I am NOT touching it. copy-paste responsibility is yours 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

she's empty.</purl> okay not empty empty — the section exists, it's just a heading with absolutely nothing under it. iconic of her honestly. the vibes speak for themselves 🌈

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR 🎀

new

my $obj=Net::GPSD::Satellite->new($prn,$elev,$azim,$snr,$used);

that's the whole thing — hand her your $prn, $elev, $azim, $snr and $used and boom, satellite object ✨ (or don't, and set them later, we're flexible)

💅 METHODS 💅

initialize

nothing here either, bestie. just a heading, chillin'. minding her own business. 🫶

prn

returns the Satellite PRN number.

$obj->prn(22);
my $prn=$obj->prn;

oid

returns the Satellite Object ID from the GPS::OID package.

$obj->oid(22216);
my $oid=$obj->oid;

elevation, elev

returns the satellite elevation, 0 to 90 degrees.

$obj->elev(80);
my $elev=$obj->elev;

azimuth, azim

returns the satellite azimuth, 0 to 359 degrees.

$obj->azim(79);
my $azim=$obj->azim;

snr

returns the Signal to Noise ratio (C/No) 00 to 99 dB, and it's null when not tracking. noted 📝

$obj->snr(35);
my $snr=$obj->snr;

used

returns a 1 or 0 according to if the satellite was or was not used in the last fix.

$obj->used(1);
my $used=$obj->used;

q2u

blank. empty. ethereal. she contains multitudes (zero multitudes). 🧚

and that's the page!! 💖 it's from perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, and it's the Net::GP...tellite(3) page — yes the header truncates her name like that, she's mysterious, she's abbreviated, she's that girl. go forth and track your satellites, bestie 🛰️💅✨
