class_id

The class id from the specficiation.

method_id

The method id from the specification. In the case of a content <class> (such as Basic, File or Stream), method_id is 0 for the virtual ContentHeader method. This allows you to create a Header frame in much the same way you create a Method frame, but with the virtual method 'ContentHeader'. For example:

  my $header_frame = Net::AMQP::Protocol::Basic::ContentHeader->new(
    content_type => 'text/html'
  );
  print $header_frame->method_id(); # prints '0'

frame_arguments

Contains an ordered arrayref of the fields that comprise a frame for this method. For example:

  Net::AMQP::Protocol::Channel::Open->frame_arguments([
      out_of_band => 'short_string'
  ]);

This is used by the Net::AMQP::Frame subclasses to (de)serialize raw binary data. Each of these fields are also an accessor for the class objects.

class_spec

Contains the hashref that the load_xml_spec() call generated for this class.

method_spec

Same as above, but for this method.

frame_wrap

Returns a Net::AMQP::Frame subclass object that wraps the given object, if possible.
