Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::IPV4Host::IPV4Host ( const char * host = NULL )
 

Create a new host address for a specific internet host.

The internet host can be specified in a null terminated ASCII string and include either the physical host address or the DNS name of a host machine. Hence, an IPV4Host ("www.voxilla.org") can be directly declaired in this manner.

Defaults to the IP address that represents the interface matching "gethostname()".

Parameters:
host   dns or physical address of an Internet host.

ost::IPV4Host::IPV4Host ( struct in_addr addr )
 

Convert a system socket binary address such as may be returned through the accept() call or getsockpeer() into an internet host address object.

Parameters:
addr   binary address of internet host.


Member Function Documentation

IPV4Host & ost::IPV4Host::operator &= ( const IPV4Mask & mask )
 

Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address.

This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet.

IPV4Address & ost::IPV4Host::operator= ( unsigned long addr ) [inline]
 

Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl().

Reimplemented from ost::IPV4Address.
