ONVIF:...iption(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ONVIF:...iption(3pm) — which is the manual page for ONVIF::Device::Types::MessageDescription, a lil Perl data type class living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section. she's a complexType girlie, and she's here to help you talk to ONVIF devices. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically: this is a Perl data type class for the XML Schema defined complexType MessageDescription from the namespace http://www.onvif.org/ver10/schema.

that's it, that's the vibe. it's giving "XML schema but make it Perl." 🦋

🌸 PROPERTIES 🌸

you can get at these properties with the get_PROPERTY / set_PROPERTY methods — one getter and one setter per property, iconic behavior honestly:

• Source
• Key
• Data
• Extension

🫶 METHODS 🫶

🧚 new

constructor!! she's the one who builds the whole thing. here's the data structure you can pass to new(), verbatim, don't @ me:

 { # ONVIF::Device::Types::MessageDescription
   Source =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::ItemListDescription
     SimpleItemDescription => ,
     ElementItemDescription => ,
     Extension =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::ItemListDescriptionExtension
     },
   },
   Key =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::ItemListDescription
     SimpleItemDescription => ,
     ElementItemDescription => ,
     Extension =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::ItemListDescriptionExtension
     },
   },
   Data =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::ItemListDescription
     SimpleItemDescription => ,
     ElementItemDescription => ,
     Extension =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::ItemListDescriptionExtension
     },
   },
   Extension =>  { # ONVIF::Device::Types::MessageDescriptionExtension
   },
 },

look at all those nested hashes. it's a whole family tree. 🌳

💅 attr

okay so important disclaimer first: attribute docs are experimental and may be inaccurate. so if something looks sus, go check the actual WSDL/XML Schema. fr fr. 🙈

this class has additional attributes, and you reach them via the attr() method.
