Member Function Documentation

unsigned ost::IPV4Cidr::getMask (const char * cp) const [protected] struct in_addr ost::IPV4Cidr::getNetwork (void) const [inline, read]

Get network address associated with this cidr.

Returns:

system binary coded address.

struct in_addr ost::IPV4Cidr::getNetmask (void) const [inline, read]

Get network mask associated with this cidr.

Returns:

system binary coded network mask.

struct in_addr ost::IPV4Cidr::getBroadcast (void) const [read]

Compute the broadcast address associated with this cidr.

Returns:

system binary coded network address.

void ost::IPV4Cidr::set (const char * cidr)

Set the cidr from a full or partial hostname, or from an address/mask, or a host/bits specification.

Parameters:

cidr string to use.

bool ost::IPV4Cidr::isMember (const struct sockaddr * saddr) const

See if a socket address is a member of this cidr's network.

Parameters:

saddr pointer to test.

Returns:

true if member of cidr.

bool ost::IPV4Cidr::isMember (const struct in_addr & inaddr) const

See if a low level address object is a member of this cidr's net.

Parameters:

inaddr object to test.

Returns:

true if member of cidr.
