Macros

• addr_ty
  A macro for defining address types.

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.

Type Aliases
