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_addraddr)
       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 longaddr) [inline]
       Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl()

       Reimplemented from ost::IPV4Address.
