NAME
ost::IPV4Host - This object is used to hold the actual and valid internet address of a specific host machine that will be accessed through a socket. SYNOPSIS
#include <address.h> Inherits ost::IPV4Address. Public Member Functions IPV4Host (const char *host=NULL) Create a new host address for a specific internet host. 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. IPV4Address & operator= (unsigned long addr) Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl() IPV4Host & operator&= (const IPV4Mask &mask) Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address. Friends class __EXPORT IPV4Mask __EXPORT IPV4Host operator& (const IPV4Host &addr, const IPV4Mask &mask) Additional Inherited Members 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_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.
