Detailed Description

       This object is used to hold the actual and valid internet address of a
       specific host machine that will be accessed through a socket.

       Author:
           David Sugar <dyfet@ostel.com> Address of a specific Internet host
           machine.

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.
