Function LayerString

packet.go:216–218

LayerString outputs an individual layer as a string. The layer is output in a single line, with no trailing newline. This function is specifically designed to do the right thing for most layers... it follows the following rules: * If the Layer has a String function, just output that. * Otherwise,

(l Layer)

// Payload layer and it's internal 'data' field, which contains a large byte
// array that would really mess up formatting.
func LayerString(l Layer) string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%v\t%s", l.LayerType(), layerString(reflect.ValueOf(l), false, false))
}

// Dumper dumps verbose information on a value.  If a layer type implements
// Dumper, then its LayerDump() string will include the results in its output.
