Net::L...et::Eth(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this whole page is about Net::Libdnet::Eth(3pm) — the high level API to access libdnet eth_* functions. that's it, that's the name, we love a concise queen 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole vibe in four lines, no cap:

use Net::Libdnet::Eth;

my $h = Net::Libdnet::Eth->new(device => 'eth0');

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this module is a higher level abstraction for the libdnet eth_* functions. like, it's giving "we did the fiddly low-level part so you don't have to" energy. slay. 🫶

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• new (device => scalar) — returns an object to the eth layer on success, and undef otherwise. and listen bestie: you MUST give it a network interface to use for sending. no interface, no sendies. periodt.
• get () — returns the hardware address associated with the network interface you're using. returns undef on error. 🍓
• set (scalar) — sets the hardware address of the network interface you're using, to the address specified by scalar. returns undef on error. 💜
• send (scalar) — sends the raw data specified by scalar to the network interface. returns the number of bytes sent on success, and undef on error. it's giving "packets out, bytes counted" 💖

ngl, every single one of these has an undef failure mode, so like… check your return values, bestie. that's the vibe check. 🫶
