Wakey

Library for managing Wake-on-LAN packets. It supports:

• creating magic packets,
• broadcasting them via UDP.

Usage

From string representation of MAC address and using defaults when broadcasting:

let wol = wakey::WolPacket::from_string(&mac_adress, sep)?;
if wol.send_magic().is_ok() {
    println!("Sent the magic packet.");
} else {
    println!("Failed to send the magic packet.");
}

Packets can also be constructed with raw bytes and sent from / to custom addresses:

use std::net::SocketAddr;

let wol = wakey::WolPacket::from_bytes(&[0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05])?;
let src = SocketAddr::from(([0,0,0,0], 0));
let dst = SocketAddr::from(([255,255,255,255], 9));

wol.send_magic_to(src, dst)?;

Example

let wol = wakey::WolPacket::from_string("01:02:03:04:05:06", ':').unwrap();
if wol.send_magic().is_ok() {
    println!("Sent the magic packet!");
} else {
    println!("Failed to send the magic packet!");
}
