Struct ndisapi_rs::EthPacket

#[repr(C)]
pub struct EthPacket<'a> {
    pub buffer: Option<&'a mut IntermediateBuffer>,
}

This structure represents an Ethernet packet with an optional mutable reference to an IntermediateBuffer.

A Rust equivalent for the _NDISRD_ETH_Packet structure.

The buffer field is an Option wrapping a mutable reference to an IntermediateBuffer. This design allows for flexibility when manipulating Ethernet packets, as a packet may not always have a buffer associated with it (i.e., the buffer may be None).

Fields

buffer: Option<&'a mut IntermediateBuffer>

An optional mutable reference to an IntermediateBuffer representing the buffer for this Ethernet packet.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Default for EthPacket<'a>

Implements the Default trait for EthPacket.

This implementation allows for the creation of an “empty” EthPacket, i.e., a packet without a buffer. This is useful when initializing a variable of type EthPacket without immediately associating a buffer with it.

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'a> From<EthPacket<'a>> for Option<&'a mut IntermediateBuffer>

Implements the Into trait for EthPacket.

The purpose of this implementation is to facilitate the conversion of an EthPacket into an Option<&'a mut IntermediateBuffer>.

The conversion is valuable when there is a need to directly manipulate the buffer of a packet. By implementing Into for EthPacket, we provide a convenient and idiomatic way to perform this transformation.

fn from(val: EthPacket<'a>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
