Trait ppp_packet::records::options::OptionsImpl

pub trait OptionsImpl<'a>: OptionsImplLayout {
    type Option;

    // Required method
    fn parse(
        kind: u8,
        data: &'a [u8]
    ) -> Result<Option<Self::Option>, Self::Error>;
}

An implementation of an options parser.

OptionsImpl provides functions to parse fixed- and variable-length options. It is required in order to construct an Options.

Required Associated Types

type Option

The type of an option; the output from the parse function.

For long or variable-length data, the user is advised to make Option a reference into the bytes passed to parse. This is achievable because of the lifetime parameter to this trait.

Required Methods

fn parse(kind: u8, data: &'a [u8]) -> Result<Option<Self::Option>, Self::Error>

Parse an option.

parse takes a kind byte and variable-length data associated and returns Ok(Some(o)) if the option successfully parsed as o, Ok(None) if the kind byte was unrecognized, and Err(err) if the kind byte was recognized but data was malformed for that option kind. parse is allowed to not recognize certain option kinds, as the length field can still be used to safely skip over them.

parse must be deterministic, or else Options::parse cannot guarantee that future iterations will not produce errors (and panic).

Object Safety

This trait is not object safe.
