Struct MacAddress 

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct MacAddress(pub [u8; 32]);

UEFI Media Access Control (MAC) address.

UEFI supports multiple network protocols and hardware types, not just Ethernet. Some of them may use MAC addresses longer than 6 bytes. To be protocol-agnostic and future-proof, the UEFI spec chooses a maximum size that can hold any supported media access control address.

In most cases, this is just a typical [u8; 6] Ethernet style MAC address with the rest of the bytes being zero.

Conversions and Relation to [core::net]

There is no matching type in [core::net] but the following [From] implementations exist:

• [u8; 6] <-> MacAddress
• [u8; 32] -> MacAddress

Tuple Fields

0: [u8; 32]

Implementations

impl MacAddress

pub const fn octets(self) -> [u8; 32]

Returns the octets of the MAC address.

pub fn into_ethernet_addr(self) -> [u8; 6]

Interpret the MAC address as normal 6-byte MAC address, as used in Ethernet.
