Structs

Eui64Addr

Represents a physical EUI-64 format address.

InfiniBandAddr

Represents a physical 20-octet InfiniBand format address.

MacAddr

Represents a physical hardware address (MAC address).

Enums

ParseError

ParseError represents an error that occurred while parsing hex address.

Functions

parse

Parses s as an IEEE 802 MAC-48, EUI-48, EUI-64, or a 20-octet IP over InfiniBand link-layer address and etc using one of the following formats:

xtoi

Converts a hexadecimal slice to an integer. Returns a tuple containing:

xtoi2

Converts the next two hex digits of s into a byte. If s is longer than 2 bytes then the third byte must match e.
