Networking_SetHardwareAddress Function

  • Raksts

Header: #include <applibs/networking.h>

Sets the hardware address for a network interface. The hardware address is persisted across reboots, and can only be set on an Ethernet interface. The application manifest must include the HardwareAddressConfig capability.

static int Networking_SetHardwareAddress(const char *networkInterfaceName, const uint8_t *hardwareAddress, size_t hardwareAddressLength);

Parameters

  • networkInterfaceName The name of the network interface to update.
  • hardwareAddress A pointer to an array of bytes containing the hardware address.
  • hardwareAddressLength The length of the hardware address. This should always be equal to HARDWARE_ADDRESS_LENGTH.

Errors

Returns -1 if an error is encountered and sets errno to the error value.

  • ENOINT: the network interface does not exist.

  • EPERM: this function is not allowed on the interface.

  • EAGAIN: the networking stack isn't ready.

  • ERANGE: the hardwareAddressLength is greater than HARDWARE_ADDRESS_LENGTH.

  • EINVAL: the hardwareAddressLength is invalid.

    Examples:

    • An all-zeroes hardware address (00:00:00:00:00:00). -
    • Group hardware addresses (a hardware address with its first octet's least significant bit set to 1).

Any other errno may be specified; such errors aren't deterministic and there is no guarantee that the values will be consistent across releases of the OS.

Return value

Returns 0 for success, or -1 for failure, in which case errno is set to the error value.
