Note that in certain contexts that use Link::shared_from_this(), Link must be created using make_shared:

shared_ptr<Link> linkObject = make_shared<Link>(block);

Definition at line 30 of file link.cpp.

ndn::Link::Link	(	const Name &	name,
		std::initializer_list< Name >	delegations = `{}`
	)

explicit

Create a Link object with the given name and delegations.

Parameters

name	A reference to the name of the redirected namespace

Precondition: Data must be signed.

Definition at line 102 of file data.cpp.

◆ wireEncode() [2/3]

const Block & ndn::Data::wireEncode	(	EncodingBuffer &	encoder,
		span< const uint8_t >	signature
	)		const

inherited

Finalize Data packet encoding with the specified signature.

Parameters

encoder	EncodingBuffer containing Name, MetaInfo, Content, and SignatureInfo, but without SignatureValue and the outermost Type-Length of the Data element.
signature	Raw signature bytes, without TLV Type and Length; this will become the TLV-VALUE of the SignatureValue element added to the packet.

This method is intended to be used in concert with wireEncode(encoder, true), e.g.:

Data data;
...
EncodingBuffer encoder;
data.wireEncode(encoder, true);
...
auto signature = create_signature_over_signed_portion(encoder.data(), encoder.size());
data.wireEncode(encoder, signature);

Definition at line 87 of file data.cpp.

◆ wireEncode() [3/3]

template<encoding::Tag TAG>

size_t ndn::Data::wireEncode	(	EncodingImpl< TAG > &	encoder,
		bool	wantUnsignedPortionOnly = `false`
	)		const

inherited

Prepend wire encoding to encoder.

Parameters

encoder	EncodingEstimator or EncodingBuffer instance.
wantUnsignedPortionOnly	If true, prepend only Name, MetaInfo, Content, and SignatureInfo to `encoder`, but omit SignatureValue and the outermost TLV Type and Length of the Data element. This is intended to be used with wireEncode(EncodingBuffer&, span<const uint8_t>) const.

Exceptions

Error Signature is not present and wantUnsignedPortionOnly is false.
