Sys::V...rkPort(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so welcome to Sys::V...rkPort(3pm) — the manual page for Sys::Virt::NetworkPort, aka the module here to represent & manage a libvirt virtual network port. periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The Sys::Virt::NetworkPort module represents a port in a virtual network. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

💅 METHODS 💅

• my $uuid = $port->get_uuid() — returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the network port. no cap.
• my $uuid = $port->get_uuid_string() — returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'. iconic. ✨
• my $xml = $port->get_xml_description() — returns an XML document containing a complete description of the network port's configuration. it's giving full lore. 📜
• $port->delete() — delete the network port from the managed network. bye bestie 💀
• my $params = $port->get_parameters($flags=0); — get tunable parameters associated with the network port. The $flags parameter is currently unused and defaults to zero. The returned $params is a hash reference whose keys are one or more of the following constants:
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_IN_AVERAGE — the average inbound bandwidth.
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_IN_BURST — the burstable inbound bandwidth.
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_IN_FLOOR — the minimum inbound bandwidth.
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_IN_PEAK — the peak inbound bandwidth.
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_OUT_AVERAGE — the average outbound bandwidth.
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_OUT_BURST — the burstable outbound bandwidth.
  • Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::BANDWIDTH_OUT_PEAK — the peak outbound bandwidth.
• $port->set_parameters($params, $flags=0); — set tunable parameters associated with the network port. The $flags parameter is currently unused and defaults to zero. The $params parameter is a hash reference whose keys are one or more of the constants listed for get_parameters.

🌸 NETWORK PORT CREATION CONSTANTS 🌸

When creating network ports, zero or more of the following constants may be used. choose ur faves. 🎀

• Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::CREATE_RECLAIM — providing configuration reclaiming a pre-existing network port.
• Sys::Virt::NetworkPort::CREATE_VALIDATE — validate the XML document against the XML schema.
