1# macaddr 2 3> MAC address types for Rust 4 5[](https://crates.io/crates/macaddr) 6[](https://docs.rs/macaddr) 7[](https://github.com/svartalf/rust-macaddr/actions) 8[](https://coveralls.io/github/svartalf/rust-macaddr?branch=master) 9 10 11 12 13This crate provides types for a [MAC address](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address) 14identifiers, both in IEEE *EUI-48* and *EUI-64* formats. 15 16It is like a [`std::net::SocketAddr`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/enum.SocketAddr.html) enum with a 17[`std::net::SocketAddrV4`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.SocketAddrV4.html) and 18[`std::net::SocketAddrV6`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.SocketAddrV6.html) members, 19but for MAC addresses instead. 20 21Obviously, MAC address can be represented as a `[u8; 6]` or `[u8; 8]`, 22but it is error-prone and inconvenient, so here they are — 23[MacAddr6](https://docs.rs/macaddr/latest/macaddr/struct.MacAddr6.html) and 24[MacAddr8](https://docs.rs/macaddr/latest/macaddr/struct.MacAddr8.html) 25structs with helpful methods and standard Rust traits implementations, 26intended to be the first-class Rust objects. 27 28And it is `serde`- and `no_std`-friendly also! 29 30## Installation 31 32Add this to your `Cargo.toml` 33 34```toml 35[dependencies] 36macaddr = "1.0" 37``` 38 39## Usage 40 41Check out the [documentation](https://docs.rs/macaddr) for each type 42available, all of them have a plenty of examples. 43 44## License 45 46Licensed under either of [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/svartalf/rust-macaddr/blob/master/LICENSE-APACHE) 47or [MIT license](https://github.com/svartalf/rust-macaddr/blob/master/LICENSE-MIT) at your option. 48 49Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in this crate by you, 50as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions. 51 52
