Member Function Documentation

   struct in6_addr ost::IPV6Cidr::getBroadcast (void) const
       Compute the broadcast address associated with this cidr.

       Returns:
           system binary coded network address.

   unsigned ost::IPV6Cidr::getMask (const char * cp) const [protected]
   struct in6_addr ost::IPV6Cidr::getNetmask (void) const [inline]
       Get network mask associated with this cidr.

       Returns:
           system binary coded network mask.

   struct in6_addr ost::IPV6Cidr::getNetwork (void) const [inline]
       Get network address associated with this cidr.

       Returns:
           system binary coded address.

   bool ost::IPV6Cidr::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::IPV6Cidr::isMember (const struct in6_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.

   bool ost::IPV6Cidr::operator== (const struct sockaddr * sa) const [inline]
   bool ost::IPV6Cidr::operator== (const struct in6_addr & a) const [inline]
   void ost::IPV6Cidr::set (const char * cidr)
       Set the cidr from a full or partial hostname, or from a host/bits specification.

       Parameters:
           cidr string to use.
