.SH "NAME"
ether_addr_equal_masked \- Compare two Ethernet addresses with a mask

.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\fIaddr1\fR
.RS 4
Pointer to a six\-byte array containing the 1st Ethernet address
.RE
.PP
\fIaddr2\fR
.RS 4
Pointer to a six\-byte array containing the 2nd Ethernet address

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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\&.
