A library for manipulation of MAC address representations.
v3.1.0 - homepage
Parse_error (err,packet)
is raised when parsing of the MAC address syntax fails. err
contains a human-readable error and packet
is the original octet list that failed to parse.
val of_bytes_exn : string -> t
of_bytes_exn buf
is the hardware address extracted from buf
. Raises Parse_error
if buf
has not length 6.
Same as above but returns an option type instead of raising an exception.
val of_string_exn : string -> t
of_string_exn mac_string
is the hardware address represented by mac_string
. Raises Parse_error
if mac_string
is not a valid representation of a MAC address.
Same as above but returns an option type instead of raising an exception.
val to_bytes : t -> string
to_bytes mac_addr
is a string of size 6 encoding mac_addr
.
val to_string : ?sep:char -> t -> string
to_string ?(sep=':') mac_addr
is the sep
-separated string representation of mac_addr
, i.e. xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
.
val pp : Format.formatter -> t -> unit
pp f mac_addr
outputs a human-readable representation of mac_addr
to the formatter f
.
val broadcast : t
broadcast
is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
.
val make_local : (int -> int) -> t
make_local bytegen
creates a unicast, locally administered MAC address given a function mapping octet offset to octet value.
val get_oui : t -> int
get_oui macaddr
is the integer organization identifier for macaddr
.
val is_local : t -> bool
is_local macaddr
is the predicate on the locally administered bit of macaddr
.
val is_unicast : t -> bool
is_unicast macaddr
the is the predicate on the unicast bit of macaddr
.
include Map.OrderedType with type t := t
A total ordering function over the keys. This is a two-argument function f
such that f e1 e2
is zero if the keys e1
and e2
are equal, f e1 e2
is strictly negative if e1
is smaller than e2
, and f e1 e2
is strictly positive if e1
is greater than e2
. Example: a suitable ordering function is the generic structural comparison function Stdlib.compare
.
