lan_build_mclist(9r)
NAME
  lan_build_mclist - Network: Builds a text string of current multicast
  addresses

SYNOPSIS
  void lan_build_mclist(
	  unsigned char *buf,
	  int len,
	  struct lan_multi *lmt );

ARGUMENTS
  buf Specifies a pointer to the buffer where the string will be formatted.

  len Specifies the number of bytes in buf.

  lmt Specifies a pointer to the device's multicast table.

DESCRIPTION
  The lan_build_mclist() routine constructs a character string in the buffer
  (buf) of all the active multicast addresses in the multicast table (lmt).
  Each address is separated by spaces and formatted as follows: xx-xx-xx-xx-
  xx-xx. The number of formatted multicast addresses is bound by the size of
  the buffer.

NOTES
  A network device driver typically allocates a buffer for this call, which
  is NET_SZ_MCLIST bytes long.	The network driver calls lan_build_mclist()
  to format the multicast list into a buffer and then passes that buffer to
  the lan_set_attribute() routine to set the multicast address list attribute
  for hardware management.

RETURN VALUES
  None
