Function utils_same_ssid 

Source 
pub fn utils_same_ssid(
    ssid1: &[u8],
    ssid2: &[u8],
    ignore_trailing_null: bool,
) -> bool
Expand description

Earlier versions of the Linux kernel added a NULL byte to the end of the SSID to enable easy printing of the SSID on the console or in a terminal, but this behavior was problematic (SSIDs are simply byte arrays, not strings) and thus was changed. This function compensates for that behavior at the cost of some compatibility with odd SSIDs that may legitimately have trailing NULLs, even though that is functionally pointless.

§ssid1

the first SSID to compare

§ssid2

the second SSID to compare

§ignore_trailing_null

true to ignore one trailing NULL byte

§Returns

true if the SSIDs are the same, false if they are not
