Struct ndisapi_rs::EthRequest

#[repr(C)]
pub struct EthRequest<'a> {
    pub adapter_handle: HANDLE,
    pub packet: EthPacket<'a>,
}

This structure represents a request for an Ethernet packet, containing a network adapter handle and an EthPacket.

A Rust equivalent for the _ETH_REQUEST structure.

adapter_handle is a handle to the network adapter associated with this request. The packet field is an EthPacket that represents the Ethernet packet for this request.

Fields

adapter_handle: HANDLE

A handle to the network adapter associated with this request.

packet: EthPacket<'a>

An EthPacket representing the Ethernet packet for this request.

Implementations

impl<'a> EthRequest<'a>

Provides methods for manipulating the EthPacket within an EthRequest.

pub fn new(adapter_handle: HANDLE) -> Self

Creates a new EthRequest with the specified adapter handle and an empty EthPacket.

Arguments

• adapter_handle - A handle to the network adapter to be associated with this request.

Returns

• A new EthRequest instance with the specified adapter handle and an empty EthPacket.

pub fn take_packet(&mut self) -> Option<&'a mut IntermediateBuffer>

Takes the EthPacket out from the EthRequest, replacing it with None.

This is useful when you want to use the packet’s buffer elsewhere, while ensuring that the EthRequest no longer has access to it.

pub fn set_packet(&mut self, buffer: &'a mut IntermediateBuffer)

Sets the EthPacket for the EthRequest using a mutable reference to an IntermediateBuffer.

This method allows you to associate a new buffer with the EthRequest. This is useful when you have a buffer that you want to send with the EthRequest.
