       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_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()

       References ost::IPV4Address::operator=().
