pynetdicom.pdu.A_RELEASE_RP

class pynetdicom.pdu.A_RELEASE_RP

An A-RELEASE-RP PDU.

An A-RELEASE-RP PDU is used once an association has been established to confirm the release of the association.

pdu_length

The number of bytes from the first byte following the PDU Length field to the last byte of the PDU.

Type

int

pdu_type

The PDU Type field value (0x06).

Type

int

Notes

An A-RELEASE-RP PDU requires the following parameters:

• PDU type (1, fixed value, 0x06)

• PDU length (1, fixed value, 0x00000004)

Encoding

When encoded, an A-RELEASE-RP PDU has the following structure, taken from Table 9-25 (offsets shown with Python indexing). PDUs are always encoded using Big Endian.

Offset	Length	Description
0	1	PDU type
1	1	Reserved
2	4	PDU length
6	4	Reserved

__init__()

Initialise a new A-RELEASE-RP PDU.

Methods

__init__()	Initialise a new A-RELEASE-RP PDU.
decode(bytestream)	Decode bytestream and use the result to set the field values of the PDU.
encode()	Return the encoded PDU as bytes.
from_primitive(primitive)	Setup the current PDU using an A-release (response) primitive.
to_primitive()	Return an A-RELEASE (response) primitive from the current PDU.

Attributes

pdu_length	Return the PDU Length field value as an int.
pdu_type	Return the PDU Type field value as int.

static from_primitive(primitive)

Setup the current PDU using an A-release (response) primitive.

Parameters

primitive (pdu_primitives.A_RELEASE) – The primitive to use to set the current PDU field values.

property pdu_length

Return the PDU Length field value as an int.

static to_primitive()

Return an A-RELEASE (response) primitive from the current PDU.

Returns

The primitive representation of the current PDU.

Return type

pdu_primitives.A_RELEASE
