DHCPv6

This module provides types and utility functions for encoding/decoding a DHCPv4 message.

Example - constructing messages

use dhcproto::{v6, Encodable, Encoder};
// arbitrary DUID
let duid = vec![
    29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44,
];
// construct a new Message with a random xid
let mut msg = v6::Message::new(v6::MessageType::Solicit);
// set an option
msg.opts_mut()
    .push(v6::DhcpOption::ClientId(duid));

// now encode to bytes
let mut buf = Vec::new();
let mut e = Encoder::new(&mut buf);
msg.encode(&mut e)?;

// buf now has the contents of the encoded DHCP message

Example - encoding/decoding messages

use dhcproto::{v6::Message, Decoder, Decodable, Encoder, Encodable};
// example message
let solicit = solicit();
// decode
let msg = Message::decode(&mut Decoder::new(&solicit))?;
// now encode
let mut buf = Vec::new();
let mut e = Encoder::new(&mut buf);
msg.encode(&mut e)?;

assert_eq!(solicit, buf);
