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
       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.
