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_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.

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