Struct EthPacket

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

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

A Rust equivalent for the _NDISRD_ETH_Packet structure.

The buffer field is an optional 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. This structure is particularly useful when the packet data needs to be read but not modified.

Fields

buffer: Option<&'a IntermediateBuffer>

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

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> AsRef<Option<&'a IntermediateBuffer>> for EthPacket<'a>

Implements the AsRef trait for EthPacket.

This implementation facilitates the conversion of an EthPacket into a reference to an Option<&'a IntermediateBuffer>. This conversion is useful when there is a need to directly access the buffer of a packet. By implementing AsRef for EthPacket, we provide a convenient and idiomatic way to perform this transformation.

fn as_ref(&self) -> &Option<&'a IntermediateBuffer>

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

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 IntermediateBuffer>

Implements the Into trait for EthPacket.

This implementation facilitates the conversion of an EthPacket into an Option<&'a IntermediateBuffer>. This conversion is useful 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.
