Method: Metasploit::Model::Search::Operator::Deprecated::Ref#children

Defined in:
app/models/metasploit/model/search/operator/deprecated/ref.rb

#children(formatted_value) ⇒ Array<Metasploit::Model::Search::Operation::Base>

Array of authorities.abbreviation:<formatted_value>, references.designation:<formatted_value>, and references.url:<formatted_value>. If formatted_value contains a '-' then the portion of formatted_value before '-' is treated is passed to authorities.abbreviation and the portion of formatted_value after '-' is treated is passed to references.designation. If the portion of formatted_value before the '-' case-insensitively matches 'URL', then authorities.abbreviation and references.designation is not used and the portion of formatted_value after the '-' is passed to references.url. If any portion of the parsed formatted_value is blank, then the corresponding child operation will not be in the returned Array.

Parameters:

  • formatted_value (String) —

    value parsed from formatted operation.
