NAME

       pydhcplib - une librarie dhcp en python

DESCRIPTION

       pydhcplib  is  a  library  written  in  python  to  reading, writing, encode or decode dhcp packets on network.	The man pages of pydhcplib
       describe the various classes defined in pydhcplib and usable in your python programs.

NAME

       pydhcplib.strlist - Internal type of pydhcplib for lists of bytes processing.

SYNOPSIS

       from pydhcplib.type_hw_addr import hwmac

       a = strlist()
       a = strlist([100,100,10,42,44,26])

DESCRIPTION

       The  class  pydhcplib.strlist  is  an specific type of pydhcplib. It exist in order to simplify processing of raw data from network. When a
       dhcp packet dhcp is received, it's a succession of approximately 300 bytes. Within pydhcplib these data are transformed in an  intermediary
       form  of  type "strlist" in order to facilitate their handling. This intermediary form will eventually be suppressed in the stable versions
       of pydhcplib to speedup the processing time, but backward compatibility will be assured.

       The pydhcplib.strlist class creation argument can be a list of numbers whose value goes from 0?55.

       The pydhcplib.strlist class creation argument can be a string of ASCII character.

METHODS

       The implemented methods in this type are mostly comparison methods (= =, >, etc...)

       else :

       str() convert the address into a printable string type.

       list() convert the address into a list of bytes.

EXAMPLES

       Example program strlist_example.py :

       from pydhcplib.type_strlist import strlist

       word = strlist()
       word1 = strlist("azerty")
       word2 = strlist("qwerty")
       word3 = strlist([97, 122, 101, 114, 116, 121])

       print "a0 : ",word
       print "a1 : ",word1
       print "a2 : ",word2
       print "a3 : ",word3

       if word1 == word2 :
	    print "test 1 : ",word1, "==",word2
       else :
	    print "test 1 : " ,word1, "!=",word2

       if word1 == word3 :
	    print "test 2 : ", word1, "==",word3
       else :
	    print "test 2 : ", word1, "!=",word3
