address.h(3)

💖 address.h — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, this is address.h(3) from the Library Functions Manual and it's literally the network-addresses-and-sockets glow-up you've been waiting for. GNU CommonC++ coded this and Doxygen generated it, and I'm here to translate. let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

address.h — Network addresses and sockets related classes.

like, the whole vibe. addresses. sockets. iconic behavior. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <cc++/config.h>
#include <cc++/missing.h>
#include <cc++/thread.h>
#include <cc++/exception.h>

🎀 Classes

• class ost::IPV4Validator — Classes derived from IPV4Address would require an specific validator to pass to the IPV4Address constructor. (yes, "an specific", that's what it says, we don't fix, we preserve 💅)
• class ost::IPV4MulticastValidator — Class for the function object that validates multicast addresses.
• class ost::IPV4Cidr — The CIDR class is used to support routing tables and validate address policies.
• class ost::IPV6Cidr — The CIDR class is used to support routing tables and validate address policies. (yes it's the same sentence, and yes that's on purpose, twin energy 👯)
• class ost::IPV4Address — The network name and address objects are all derived from a common IPV4Address base class. the mother of them all fr fr.
• class ost::IPV4Mask — Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as '255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV4Mask derived object. (the trailing " in the original? keeping it. don't ask. it's part of the lore 🫶)
• class ost::IPV4Host — This object is used to hold the actual and valid internet address of a specific host machine that will be accessed through a socket.
• class ost::IPV4Broadcast — The broadcast address object is used to store the broadcast address for a specific subnet.
• class ost::IPV4Multicast — A specialization of IPV4Address that provides address validation for multicast addresses.
• class ost::IPV6Validator — Classes derived from IPV6Address would require an specific validator to pass to the IPV6Address constructor.
• class ost::IPV6MulticastValidator — Class for the function object that validates multicast addresses.
• class ost::IPV6Address — The network name and address objects are all derived from a common IPV6Address base class.
• class ost::IPV6Mask — Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as '255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV6Mask derived object. (again with the lone ". it's a vibe. leave it 🌈)
• class ost::IPV6Host — This object is used to hold the actual and valid internet address of a specific host machine that will be accessed through a socket.
• class ost::IPV6Broadcast — The broadcast address object is used to store the broadcast address for a specific subnet.
• class ost::IPV6Multicast — A specialization of IPV6Address that provides address validation for multicast addresses.

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left behind. this was GNU CommonC++, dated Sun Dec 27 2020, and we're out. slay, stay validated, and may your addresses always resolve on the first try. 💖👑🎀
