Implementations

impl MagicPacket

pub fn new(mac_address: &[u8; 6]) -> MagicPacket

Creates a new MagicPacket intended for mac_address (but doesn’t send it yet).

pub fn send(&self) -> Result<()>

Sends the magic packet via UDP to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255:9. Lets the operating system choose the source port and network interface.

pub fn send_to<A: ToSocketAddrs>(&self, to_addr: A, from_addr: A) -> Result<()>

Sends the magic packet via UDP to/from an IP address and port number of your choosing.

pub fn magic_bytes(&self) -> &[u8; 102]

Returns the magic packet’s payload (6 repetitions of 0xFF and 16 repetitions of the target device’s MAC address). Send these bytes yourself over the network if you want to do something more advanced (like reuse a single UDP socket when sending a large number of magic packets).
