ost::IPV6Broadcast(3) Library Functions Manual ost::IPV6Broadcast(3) NAME
ost::IPV6Broadcast - The broadcast address object is used to store the broadcast address for a specific subnet. SYNOPSIS
#include <address.h> Inherits ost::IPV6Address. Public Member Functions IPV6Broadcast (const char *net='255.255.255.255') Specify the physical broadcast address to use and create a new broadcast address object based on a null terminated ASCII string. Additional Inherited Members Detailed Description The broadcast address object is used to store the broadcast address for a specific subnet. This is commonly used for UDP broadcast operations. Constructor &; Destructor Documentation ost::IPV6Broadcast::IPV6Broadcast (const char *net = '255.255.255.255') Specify the physical broadcast address to use and create a new broadcast address object based on a null terminated ASCII string. Parameters: net null terminated ASCII network address. Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for GNU CommonC++ from the source code. GNU CommonC++ Sat Jun 23 2012 ost::IPV6Broadcast(3)

ost::IPV4Mask(3) Library Functions Manual ost::IPV4Mask(3) NAME
ost::IPV4Mask - Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as ' 255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV4Mask derived object. SYNOPSIS
#include <address.h> Inherits ost::IPV4Address. Public Member Functions IPV4Mask (const char *mask) Create the mask from a null terminated ASCII string such as '255.255.255.128'. IPV4Address & operator= (unsigned long addr) Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl() Friends __EXPORT IPV4Host operator& (const IPV4Host &addr, const IPV4Mask &mask) Masks are usually used to coerce host addresses into a specific router or class domain. Additional Inherited Members Detailed Description Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as ' 255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV4Mask derived object. The separate class is used so that C++ type casting can automatically determine when an IPV4Address object is really a mask address object rather than simply using the base class. This also allows manipulative operators for address masking to operate only when presented with a Masked address as well as providing cleaner and safer source. Author: David Sugar dyfet@ostel.com Internet Address Mask such as subnet masks. Constructor &; Destructor Documentation ost::IPV4Mask::IPV4Mask (const char *mask) Create the mask from a null terminated ASCII string such as '255.255.255.128'. Parameters: mask null terminated ASCII mask string. Member Function Documentation IPV4Address& ost::IPV4Mask::operator= (unsigned longaddr) [inline] Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl() Reimplemented from ost::IPV4Address. References ost::IPV4Address::operator=(). Friends And Related Function Documentation __EXPORT IPV4Host operator& (const IPV4Host &addr, const IPV4Mask &mask) [friend] Masks are usually used to coerce host addresses into a specific router or class domain. This can be done by taking the Inet Host Address object and 'and'ing it with an address mask. This operation can be directly expressed in C++ through the & operator. Returns: a internet host address that has been masked. Parameters: addr host address to be masked by subnet. mask inetnet mask address object to mask by.
