Member Function Documentation

   struct in_addr ost::IPV4Cidr::getBroadcast (void) const
       Compute the broadcast address associated with this cidr.

       Returns:
           system binary coded network address.

   unsigned ost::IPV4Cidr::getMask (const char *cp) const [protected]
   struct in_addr ost::IPV4Cidr::getNetmask (void) const [inline]
       Get network mask associated with this cidr.

       Returns:
           system binary coded network mask.

   struct in_addr ost::IPV4Cidr::getNetwork (void) const [inline]
       Get network address associated with this cidr.

       Returns:
           system binary coded address.

   bool ost::IPV4Cidr::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::IPV4Cidr::isMember (const struct in_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::IPV4Cidr::operator== (const struct sockaddr *a) const [inline]
   bool ost::IPV4Cidr::operator== (const struct in_addr &a) const [inline]
   void ost::IPV4Cidr::set (const char *cidr)
       Set the cidr from a full or partial hostname, or from an address/mask, or a host/bits
       specification.

       Parameters:
           cidr string to use.
