Function SerializePacket

writer.go:222–232

SerializePacket is a convenience function that calls SerializeLayers on packet's Layers(). It returns an error if one of the packet layers is not a SerializableLayer.

(buf SerializeBuffer, opts SerializeOptions, packet Packet)

// on packet's Layers().
// It returns an error if one of the packet layers is not a SerializableLayer.
func SerializePacket(buf SerializeBuffer, opts SerializeOptions, packet Packet) error {
	sls := []SerializableLayer{}
	for _, layer := range packet.Layers() {
		sl, ok := layer.(SerializableLayer)
		if !ok {
			return fmt.Errorf("layer %s is not serializable", layer.LayerType().String())
		}
		sls = append(sls, sl)
	}
	return SerializeLayers(buf, opts, sls...)
