NAME

structs_type_ether, structs_type_ether_nocolon — structs types for Ethernet addresses

LIBRARY

PDEL Library (libpdel, -lpdel)

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pdel/structs/structs.h>
#include <pdel/structs/type/ether.h>

extern const struct structs_type structs_type_ether;
extern const struct structs_type structs_type_ether_nocolon;

DESCRIPTION

These are structs(3) types for Ethernet addresses. The represented data type is an array of six unsigned characters.

The structs_type_ether and structs_type_ether_nocolon types are equivalent except for their ASCII forms. structs_type_ether expresses an Ethernet address as six hex bytes (including leading zero digits, if any) separated by colon characters, while structs_type_ether_nocolon type expresses an Ethernet address as a string of 12 hex digits.

HISTORY

The PDEL library was developed at Packet Design, LLC. http://www.packetdesign.com/
