ETHER_ADDR_EQUAL_MAS(9) Network device support ETHER_ADDR_EQUAL_MAS(9)

NAME

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

const u8 * addr1

Pointer to a six-byte array containing the 1st Ethernet address

const u8 * addr2

Pointer to a six-byte array containing the 2nd Ethernet address

const u8 * 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.
