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.
