Overview

This class is an abstract class to define type-length-value data.

This class supersedes TLV class, which is not well defined on some corner cases.

Usage

To simply define a new TLV class, do:

MyTLV = PacketGen::Types::AbstractTLV.create
MyTLV.define_type_enum 'one' => 1, 'two' => 2

This will define a new MyTLV class, subclass of Fields. This class will define 3 fields:

  • #type, as a Int8Enum by default,

  • #length, as a Int8 by default,

  • and #value, as a String by default.

.define_type_enum is, here, necessary to define enum hash to be used for #type accessor, as this one is defined as an Enum.

This class may then be used as older TLV class:

tlv = MyTLV.new(type: 1, value: 'abcd')  # automagically set #length from value
tlv.type        #=> 1
tlv.human_type  #=> 'one'
tlv.length      #=> 4
tlv.value       #=> "abcd"

Advanced usage

Each field’s type may be changed at generating TLV class:

MyTLV = PacketGen::Types::AbstractTLV.create(type_class: PacketGen::Types::Int16,
                                             length_class: PacketGen::Types::Int16,
                                             value_class: PacketGen::Header::IP::Addr)
tlv = MyTLV.new(type: 1, value: '1.2.3.4')
tlv.type        #=> 1
tlv.length      #=> 4
tlv.value       #=> '1.2.3.4'
tlv.to_s        #=> "\x00\x01\x00\x04\x01\x02\x03\x04"

Some aliases may also be defined. For example, to create a TLV type whose type field should be named code:

MyTLV = PacketGen::Types::AbstractTLV.create(type_class: PacketGen::Types::Int16,
                                             length_class: PacketGen::Types::Int16,
                                             aliases: { code: :type })
tlv = MyTLV.new(code: 1, value: 'abcd')
tlv.code        #=> 1
tlv.type        #=> 1
tlv.length      #=> 4
tlv.value       #=> 'abcd'

Class Method Details

.create(type_class: Int8Enum, length_class: Int8, value_class: String, aliases: {}, header_in_length: false, field_order: 'TLV', field_in_length: 'V') ⇒ Class

Generate a TLV class

Parameters:

  • type_class (Class) (defaults to: Int8Enum) —

    Class to use for type

  • length_class (Class) (defaults to: Int8) —

    Class to use for length

  • value_class (Class) (defaults to: String) —

    Class to use for value

  • header_in_length (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    if true , type and length fields are included in length. Deprecated, use field_in_length instead.

  • field_order (String) (defaults to: 'TLV') —

    give field order. Each character in [T,L,V] MUST be present once, in the desired order.

  • field_in_length (String) (defaults to: 'V') —

    give fields to compute length on.

Returns:

  • (Class)

Raises:

Since:

  • 3.1.4 Add header_in_length parameter

  • 3.3.1 Add field_order and +field_in_length’ parameters. Deprecate header_in_length parameter.
