Net::Nmsg::Util exposes constants, data types, and functions of libnmsg. These are primarily intended for development purposes rather than typical usage.

EXPORTED CONSTANTS AND FUNCTIONS

Functions and constants being individually exportable. To export everything, use ':all'. The following tag groups are also available:

Tag group :channel

is_channel($channel)
channel_lookup($channel)

Tag group :alias

NMSG_ALIAS_OPERATOR
NMSG_ALIAS_GROUP

alias_by_key($key)
alias_by_value($val)
operator_lookup($name_or_val)
group_lookup($name_or_val)

Tag group :sniff

is_nmsg_file($name)
is_pcap_file($name)
is_interface($name)
is_socket($handle)
is_file($handle_or_name)
is_filehandle($handle)
is_channel($channel)
expand_socket_spec($spec)

Tag group :vendor

vendor_lookup($vendor_name_or_id)
message_lookup($msg_type_or_id)
mv_lookup($vendor_name_or_id, $msg_type_or_id)

msgtype_to_mname($vid, $msgtype)
