New submission from Tim Tisdall:
As mentioned in #24984, I'm making another issue to document the address format
for AF_PACKET. In this case there's already documentation in
Modules/socketmodule.c that says:
- an AF_PACKET socket address is a tuple containing a string
specifying the ethernet interface and an integer specifying
the Ethernet protocol number to be received. For example:
("eth0",0x1234). Optional 3rd,4th,5th elements in the tuple
specify packet-type and ha-type/addr.
But nothing has been added to Doc/library/socket.rst .
The documentation needs to be confirmed with the code. (It probably should be
altered somewhat to state how you "specify packet-type and ha-type/addr"...
and maybe what a "ha-type/addr" is... A quick Google search found this very
useful reference:
