Detailed Description
This object is used to hold the actual and valid internet address of a specific host machine that will be accessed through a socket.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
| ost::IPV4Host::IPV4Host | ( | char * | host = ((void *) 0) | ) |
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
Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address.
This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet.
The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:
