From 4940fc889e1e63667a15243028ddcd84d471cd8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Sat, 7 May 2011 23:00:07 +0000 Subject: net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form. mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid. mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet, it's up to caller to deal with it. mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention. Target usage: if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac)) return -EINVAL; /* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */ /* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */ Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.
