Detailed Description

Link Layer packet interface device address.

This object wraps the Linux device level packet interface structure sockaddr_ll and provides accessor methods for the members. Many of the related functions for manipulating the sockaddr_ll structure are presented in the class interface as methods.

Several extensions to the API functionality are also provided, such as a method to retrieve the kernel's numeric index for a give interface or the MAC address.
