Enum Method 

pub enum Method {
    Static,
    Dhcp,
    Loopback,
    Manual,
    Other(String),
}

Represents the configuration method in the interfaces(5) file.

The Method enum constrains the method field to known values, while still allowing custom methods through the Other variant.

Variants

• Static: Static IP configuration.
• Dhcp: DHCP client configuration.
• Loopback: Loopback interface configuration.
• Manual: Manual configuration (no automatic setup).
• Other: Any other method not explicitly supported.

Examples

Parsing a Method from a string:

use interface_rs::interface::Method;
use std::str::FromStr;

let method = Method::from_str("dhcp").unwrap();
assert_eq!(method, Method::Dhcp);

// Unknown methods are captured as Other
let custom = Method::from_str("ppp").unwrap();
assert_eq!(custom, Method::Other("ppp".to_string()));

Variants

Static

Static IP configuration.

Dhcp

DHCP client configuration.

Loopback

Loopback interface configuration.

Manual

Manual configuration (no automatic setup).

Other(String)

Any other method not explicitly supported.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Method

fn clone(&self) -> Method

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Method

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Method

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl FromStr for Method

fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>

Parses a Method from a string slice.

This implementation never fails - unknown methods are captured as Other.

type Err = Infallible

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

impl PartialEq for Method

fn eq(&self, other: &Method) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
