NAME

       packet.link.macaddr - MacAddr module

DESCRIPTION

       Create  an object to represent a MAC address. A MAC address is given either by a series of
       hexadecimal numbers or using the ":" notation. It provides a mechanism for comparing  this
       object with a regular string.

CLASSES

   class MacAddr(builtins.str)
       MacAddr address object

       Usage:
           from packet.link.macaddr import MacAddr

           mac = MacAddr('E4CE8F589FF4')

       The following expressions are equivalent:
           mac == 'E4CE8F589FF4'
           mac == 'e4ce8f589ff4'
           mac == 'e4:ce:8f:58:9f:f4'
