NAME

PIX::Object - Factory class for the various object-groups found in a PIX config from a PIX::Walker object. This object is not meant to be instantiated directly.

SYNOPSIS

PIX::Walker uses this factory class to create perl objects for each object-group found within a firewall configuration. Programs will interface with this object but will practically never instantiate objects from this factory directly.

SEE ALSO

PIX::Object::network, PIX::Object::service, PIX::Object::protocol

EXAMPLE

my $obj = new PIX::Object($type, $name, $conf_block, $pix_walker_ref);

METHODS

type( )

Returns the type of the object group. One of "network", "service", "protocol", or "icmp_type"

name( )

Returns the name of the object group as configured.

list( )

Returns a list of items from the object group. The structure of the list returned will vary depending on the object-group type. See each sub-class for more information.

PIX::Object::network, PIX::Object::service, PIX::Object::protocol

first( )

Returns the first object from the object-group list.

alias($alias)

Returns the IP of the alias given in $alias. If no alias is found than the string is returned unchanged. This simply deligates to the alias sub from the PIX::Walker object as given in new().
