I think in the longer run this will be nicer when we get additional tests for the variable_type. > + mac = to_state_mac(svar); > + for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) > + buf[i] = mac->value[i]; memcpy? > + return 6; So '6' is the return value for successfully calling this function. This is the length of the MAC Address, but does this add any value? Better use a negative error code and '0' for success.
