20 This is a set of helpers to show where a given method in SNMP::Info has
21 been implemented, and which implementation is being used at runtime.
22 The following distributions are required to run this code:
24 · PPI
26 · Class::ISA
28 · Module::Info
30 · Module::Load
32
34 None of the functions are exported. For all helper functions, you can
35 pass either the name of a Perl module, or an object instance of
36 SNMP::Info.
37 all_methods( $module )
39 Returns the location of methods defined in $module and all its
40 ancestor classes (superclasses), either as Perl subroutines or via
41 %GLOBALS or %FUNCS configuration. The data structure looks like:
42 {
44 method_name => {
45 globals => [
46 [ Package::Name => 'mib_leaf.0' ],
47 [ Other::Package::Name => '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0' ],
48 ],
49 },
50 other_method_name => [
51 subs => [
52 'Package::Name',
53 ],
54 funcs => [
55 [ Package::Name => 'mib_leaf_name' ],
56 ],
57 ],
58 }
59 It should be noted that the order of method resolution in
61 SNMP::Info is to first look for a defined subroutine (this is done
62 by Perl), then the AUTOLOAD sequence will search for a definition
63 in %GLOBALS followed by %FUNCS.
64 The defining class or module at runtime is always the first entry
66 in the list, if it exists:
67 $data->{method_name}->{subs}->[0]
69 if exists $data->{method_name}->{subs};
70 subroutines( $module )
72 Returns the set of subroutines defined in $module and all its
73 ancestor classes (superclasses). The data structure looks like:
74 {
76 method_name => [
77 'Package::Name',
78 'Other::Package::Name',
79 ],
80 other_method_name => [
81 'Package::Name',
82 ],
83 }
84 Should a subroutine have been defined more than once, the defining
86 classes are listed in reverse order, such that the definition used
87 at runtime is always:
88 $data->{method_name}->[0];
90 globals( $module || $object )
92 Returns a data structure showing how SNMP::Info will resolve MIB
93 Leaf Nodes configured through the %GLOBALS hashes in $module.
94 The data structure looks like:
96 {
98 method_name => [
99 [ Package::Name => 'mib_leaf_name' ],
100 [ Other::Package::Name => '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0' ],
101 ],
102 other_method_name => [
103 [ Package::Name => 'mib_leaf.0' ],
104 ],
105 }
106 Where a method has been defined in different packages, then they
108 are listed in reverse order, such that the mapping used by
109 SNMP::Info is always:
110 $data->{method_name}->[0];
112 funcs( $module || $object )
114 Returns a data structure showing how SNMP::Info will resolve MIB
115 Tables configured through the %FUNCS hashes in $module.
116 See "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for further detail.
118 munge( $module || $object )
120 Returns a data structure showing the subroutines used for munging
121 returned values for any method defined in %FUNCS or %GLOBALS.
122 The data structure looks like:
124 {
126 method_name => [
127 [ Package::Name => '&subroutine' ],
128 [ Other::Package::Name => '&Other::Package::subroutine' ],
129 ],
130 other_method_name => [
131 [ Package::Name => '&subroutine' ],
132 ],
133 }
134 Where a mapping has been defined in different packages, then they
136 are listed in reverse order, such that the munge subroutine used by
137 SNMP::Info is always:
138 $data->{method_name}->[0];
140 file( $module )
142 Returns the filename from which Perl will load the given module.
143 superclasses( $class || $object )
145 Returns the list (in order) of the names of classes Perl will
146 search to find methods for this SNMP::Info class or object
147 instance.
148 Note this requires the Class::ISA distribution to be installed.
150 print_globals( $module || $object )
152 Pretty print the output of "globals()".
153 print_funcs( $module || $object )
155 Pretty print the output of "funcs()".
156 print_munge( $module || $object )
158 Pretty print the output of "munge()".
159 print_superclasses( $class || $object )
161 Pretty print the output of "superclasses()".
