@spec pack_array(list(), integer(), (any() -> binary())) :: binary()

Helper function for messages to pack array fields

@spec pack_string(binary(), non_neg_integer()) :: binary()

Helper function for messages to pack string fields

Parse an ip address string into a tuple

Resolve an address string to an IP address tuple.

Accepts both IP addresses (e.g., "192.168.1.1") and DNS hostnames (e.g., "service.namespace.svc.cluster.local").

Uses Erlang's :inet.getaddr/2 for resolution, which handles both IP addresses and DNS lookups.

Returns {:ok, ip_tuple} on success or {:error, reason} on failure.

Examples

iex> resolve_address("127.0.0.1")
{:ok, {127, 0, 0, 1}}

iex> resolve_address("localhost")
{:ok, {127, 0, 0, 1}}

@spec unpack_array(binary(), (binary() -> {any(), list()})) :: list()

Helper function for decode() to unpack array fields

@spec wire_order([%{type: String.t(), is_extension: boolean()}]) :: [[%{}]]

Sort parsed message fields into wire order according to https://mavlink.io/en/guide/serialization.html List extension fields separately so that we can not include them for MAVLink 1 messages

@spec x25_crc([] | binary()) :: pos_integer()

Calculate an x25 checksum of a list or binary based on pymavlink mavcrc.x25crc
