Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IPV6Host() [1/2]

ost::IPV6Host::IPV6Host ( 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 IPV6Host ("www.voxilla.org") can be directly declaired in this manner.

Defaults to the IP address that represents the interface matching "gethostname()".

Parameters
hostdns or physical address of an Internet host.

◆ IPV6Host() [2/2]

ost::IPV6Host::IPV6Host ( struct in6_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
addrbinary address of internet host.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator&=()

IPV6Host & ost::IPV6Host::operator&= ( const IPV6Mask & mask)

Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address.

This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet.
