NAME

       ipsec_subnetof,  ipsec_hostof,  ipsec_broadcastof - given Internet address and subnet mask
       return subnet number, host part, broadcast address

SYNOPSIS

       #include <freeswan.h>

       struct in_addr subnetof(struct in_addr addr,
           struct in_addr mask);
       struct in_addr hostof(struct in_addr addr,
           struct in_addr mask);
       struct in_addr broadcastof(struct in_addr addr,
           struct in_addr mask);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions are obsolete; see ipsec_networkof(3) for their replacements.

       Subnetof takes an Internet address and a subnet mask and returns the network part  of  the
       address  (all  in  network  byte  order).   Hostof  similarly  returns  the host part, and
       broadcastof returns the broadcast address (all-1s convention) for the network.

       These functions are provided to hide the Internet bit-munging inside an API, in  hopes  of
       easing the eventual transition to IPv6.

BUGS

       Calling functions for this is more costly than doing it yourself.
