Member Function Documentation

void ns3::PbbTlv::Deserialize

(

Buffer::Iterator &

start

)

Deserializes a TLV from the specified buffer.

Parameters:

start

a reference to the point in a buffer to begin deserializing.

Users should not need to call this. TLVs will be deserialized by their containing blocks.

uint32_t ns3::PbbTlv::GetSerializedSize

(

void

)

const

Returns:

The size (in bytes) needed to serialize this TLV.

uint8_t ns3::PbbTlv::GetType

(

void

)

const

Returns:

the type of this TLV.

uint8_t ns3::PbbTlv::GetTypeExt

(

void

)

const

Returns:

the type extension for this TLV.

Calling this while HasTypeExt is False is undefined. Make sure you check it first. This will be checked by an assert in debug builds.

Buffer ns3::PbbTlv::GetValue

(

void

)

const

Returns:

a Buffer pointing to the value of this TLV.

Calling this while HasValue is False is undefined. Make sure you check it first. This will be checked by an assert in debug builds.

bool ns3::PbbTlv::HasTypeExt

(

void

)

const

Tests whether or not this TLV has a type extension.

Returns:

true if this TLV has a type extension, false otherwise.

This should be called before calling GetTypeExt to make sure there actually is one.

bool ns3::PbbTlv::HasValue

(

void

)

const

Tests whether or not this TLV has a value.

Returns:

true if this tlv has a TLV, false otherwise.

This should be called before calling GetTypeExt to make sure there actually is one.

void ns3::PbbTlv::Print	(	std::ostream &	os,
		int	level
	)			const

Pretty-prints the contents of this TLV, with specified indentation.

Parameters:

	os	a stream object to print to.
	level	level of indentation.

This probably never needs to be called by users. This is used when recursively printing sub-objects.

void ns3::PbbTlv::Print

(

std::ostream &

os

)

const

Pretty-prints the contents of this TLV.

Parameters:

os

a stream object to print to.

void ns3::PbbTlv::Serialize

(

Buffer::Iterator &

start

)

const

Serializes this TLV into the specified buffer.

Parameters:

start

a reference to the point in a buffer to begin serializing.

Users should not need to call this. TLVs will be serialized by their containing blocks.

void ns3::PbbTlv::SetType

(

uint8_t

type

)

Sets the type of this TLV.

Parameters:

type

the type value to set.

void ns3::PbbTlv::SetTypeExt

(

uint8_t

type

)

Sets the type extension of this TLV.

Parameters:

type

the type extension value to set.

The type extension is like a sub-type used to further distinguish between TLVs of the same type.

void ns3::PbbTlv::SetValue	(	const uint8_t *	buffer,
		uint32_t	size
	)

Sets the value of this message to a buffer with the specified data.

Parameters:

	buffer	a pointer to data to put in the TLVs buffer.
	size	the size of the buffer.

The buffer *is copied* into a *new buffer instance*. You can free the data in the buffer provided anytime you wish.

void ns3::PbbTlv::SetValue

(

Buffer

start

)

Sets the value of this message to the specified buffer.

Parameters:

start

a buffer instance.

The buffer is _not_ copied until this TLV is serialized. You should not change the contents of the buffer you pass in to this function.
