ether_addr_equal_masked (9) Linux Manual Page
ether_addr_equal_masked – Compare two Ethernet addresses with a mask
Synopsis
- bool ether_addr_equal_masked(const u8
* addr1, const u8* addr2, const u8* mask);
Arguments
addr1
-
- Pointer to a six-byte array containing the 1st Ethernet address
addr2
- Pointer to a six-byte array containing the 2nd Ethernet address
mask
- Pointer to a six-byte array containing the Ethernet address bitmask
Description
Compare two Ethernet addresses with a mask, returns true if for every bit set in the bitmask the equivalent bits in the ethernet addresses are equal. Using a mask with all bits set is a slower ether_addr_equal.
