Struct MacAddress

pub struct MacAddress(pub [u8; 6]);

This is our representation of a MAC-address

use libwifi::frame::components::MacAddress;

let address = MacAddress([255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255]);
println!("{}", address.is_broadcast());
// -> true

Tuple Fields

0: [u8; 6]

Implementations

impl MacAddress

pub fn from_vec(vec: Vec<u8>) -> Option<MacAddress>

pub fn to_u64(&self) -> u64

Generate u64.

pub fn to_long_string(&self) -> String

Generate string with delimitters.

pub fn random() -> Self

Generate random valid mac

pub fn broadcast() -> Self

pub fn zeroed() -> Self

pub fn random_with_oui(other: &MacAddress) -> Self

Generate a random MAC address using the same OUI as the given MAC address

pub fn encode(&self) -> [u8; 6]

Encode mac address for network.

pub fn is_private(&self) -> bool

Check if this is a private address (locally set bit)

pub fn is_mcast(&self) -> bool

Check if this is a multicast address

pub fn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool

Check whether this MAC addresses the whole network.

pub fn is_groupcast(&self) -> bool

Check whether this is a group address. Group addresses start with 01:80:C2::0/24.

pub fn is_ipv4_multicast(&self) -> bool

The 01:00:5e::0/18 space is reserved for ipv4 multicast

pub fn is_ipv6_neighborhood_discovery(&self) -> bool

33:33::0/24 is used for ipv6 neighborhood discovery.

pub fn is_ipv6_multicast(&self) -> bool

The 33:33::0/24 space is reserved for ipv6 multicast

pub fn is_spanning_tree(&self) -> bool

The 01:80:c2::0/18 space is reserved for spanning-tree requests.

pub fn is_real_device(&self) -> bool

A helper function to check whether the mac address is an actual device or just some kind of “meta” mac address.

This function is most likely not complete, but it already covers a cases.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for MacAddress

fn clone(&self) -> MacAddress

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for MacAddress

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for MacAddress

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl FromStr for MacAddress

Parse a string mac representation.

use libwifi::frame::components::MacAddress;
use std::str::FromStr;

let mac = MacAddress([12, 157, 146, 197, 170, 127]);

let colon = MacAddress::from_str("0c:9d:92:c5:aa:7f").unwrap();
assert_eq!(colon, mac);

let dash = MacAddress::from_str("0c-9d-92-c5-aa-7f").unwrap();
assert_eq!(dash, mac);

let no_delimiter = MacAddress::from_str("0c9d92c5aa7f").unwrap();
assert_eq!(no_delimiter, mac);

type Err = MacParseError

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(input: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.

impl Hash for MacAddress

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for MacAddress

fn cmp(&self, other: &MacAddress) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for MacAddress

fn eq(&self, other: &MacAddress) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for MacAddress

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &MacAddress) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
