Struct interfaces2::HardwareAddr

pub struct HardwareAddr(_);

HardwareAddr represents a hardware address (commonly known as a MAC address) of a given interface.

Methods

impl HardwareAddr

pub fn zero() -> HardwareAddr

Returns a new, empty HardwareAddr structure. This is equivalent to the MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00.

pub fn as_string(&self) -> String

Formats this hardware address in the standard MAC address format - 6 octets in hexadecimal format, each seperated by a colon.

let s = HardwareAddr::zero().as_string();
assert_eq!(s, "00:00:00:00:00:00");

pub fn as_bare_string(&self) -> String

Formats this hardware address as a sequence of hexadecimal numbers without the seperating colons.

let s = HardwareAddr::zero().as_bare_string();
assert_eq!(s, "000000000000");

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the raw bytes representing this hardware address.

let s = HardwareAddr::zero();
assert_eq!(s.as_bytes(), &[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);
