Detailed Description

template<typename TLVRecordType>
class pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >

A class for reading TLV records data out of a byte stream. This class contains helper methods for retrieving and counting TLV records. This is a template class that expects template argument class derived from TLVRecord.

Member Function Documentation

changeTLVRecordCount()

template<typename TLVRecordType>

void pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >::changeTLVRecordCount ( int  changedBy )

inline

As described in getTLVRecordCount(), the TLV record count is being cached for efficiency purposes. So if the number of TLV records change, it's the user's responsibility to call this method with the number of TLV records being added or removed. If records were added the change should be a positive number, or a negative number if records were removed

Parameters

[in]

changedBy

Number of records that were added or removed

getFirstTLVRecord()

template<typename TLVRecordType>

TLVRecordType pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >::getFirstTLVRecord ( uint8_t *  tlvDataBasePtr, size_t  tlvDataLen  ) const

inline

Get the first TLV record out of a byte stream

Parameters

[in]	tlvDataBasePtr	A pointer to the TLV data byte stream
[in]	tlvDataLen	The TLV data byte stream length

Returns

An instance of type TLVRecordType that contains the first TLV record. If tlvDataBasePtr is NULL or tlvDataLen is zero the returned TLVRecordType instance will be logically NULL, meaning TLVRecordType.isNull() will return true

getNextTLVRecord()

template<typename TLVRecordType>

TLVRecordType pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >::getNextTLVRecord ( TLVRecordType &  record, uint8_t *  tlvDataBasePtr, size_t  tlvDataLen  ) const

inline

Get a TLV record that follows a given TLV record in a byte stream

Parameters

[in]	record	A given TLV record
[in]	tlvDataBasePtr	A pointer to the TLV data byte stream
[in]	tlvDataLen	The TLV data byte stream length

Returns

An instance of type TLVRecordType that wraps the record following the record given as input. If the input record.isNull() is true or if the next record is out of bounds of the byte stream, a logical NULL instance of TLVRecordType will be returned, meaning TLVRecordType.isNull() will return true

getTLVRecord()

template<typename TLVRecordType>

TLVRecordType pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >::getTLVRecord ( uint8_t  recordType, uint8_t *  tlvDataBasePtr, size_t  tlvDataLen  ) const

inline

Search for the first TLV record that corresponds to a given record type (the 'T' in Type-Length-Value)

Parameters

[in]	recordType	The record type to search for
[in]	tlvDataBasePtr	A pointer to the TLV data byte stream
[in]	tlvDataLen	The TLV data byte stream length

Returns

An instance of type TLVRecordType that contains the result record. If record was not found a logical NULL instance of TLVRecordType will be returned, meaning TLVRecordType.isNull() will return true

getTLVRecordCount()

template<typename TLVRecordType>

size_t pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >::getTLVRecordCount ( uint8_t *  tlvDataBasePtr, size_t  tlvDataLen  ) const

inline

Get the TLV record count in a given TLV data byte stream. For efficiency purposes the count is being cached so only the first call to this method will go over all the TLV records, while all consequent calls will return the cached number. This implies that if there is a change in the number of records, it's the user's responsibility to call changeTLVRecordCount() with the record count change

Parameters

[in]	tlvDataBasePtr	A pointer to the TLV data byte stream
[in]	tlvDataLen	The TLV data byte stream length

Returns

The TLV record count

operator=()

template<typename TLVRecordType>

TLVRecordReader& pcpp::TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType >::operator= ( const TLVRecordReader< TLVRecordType > &  other )

inline

Overload of the assignment operator for this class

Parameters

[in]

other

The TLVRecordReader instance to assign
