class LinuxNetns(lns=None, inode=None)

Bases: Record

Linux Network Namespace

A Linux network namespace is a partition of the kernel networking stack, often used to create containers and isolated sandboxes with other namespaces (pid, etc.).

According to the very generic definition of ExecutionEnvironment, we consider a network namespace as a simple form of environment.

Methods

fromdict	Builds instance from dictionary
todict	Converts to dictionary

Attributes

inode

Filesystem inode associated to this namespace

__init__(lns=None, inode=None)

classmethod fromdict(dic, e)

Builds instance from dictionary

It is used during deserialization to create an otupy instance from the text message. It takes an Encoder instance that is used to recursively build instances of the inner objects (the Encoder provides standard methods to create instances of base objects like strings, integers, boolean).

Parameters:

• dic – The intermediary dictionary representation from which the object is built.

• e – The Encoder that is being used.

Returns:

An instance of this class initialized from the dictionary values.

inode: str = None

Filesystem inode associated to this namespace

todict(e)

Converts to dictionary

It is used to convert this object to an intermediary representation during serialization. It takes an Encoder argument that is used to recursively serialize inner data and structures (the Encoder provides standard methods for converting base types to dictionaries)..

Parameters:

e – The Encoder that is being used.

Returns:

A dictionary compliants to the Language Specification’s serialization rules.
