💖 ost::IPV4Cidr — Library Functions Manual 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual today and the main character is ost::IPV4Cidr. grab a boba, this one's actually cute. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ost::IPV4Cidr — literally the CIDR class, bestie. she's the one holding down routing tables and validating address policies. no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <address.h>

🫶 Public Member Functions 🫶

• struct in_addr getNetwork (void) const — grab the network address that belongs to this cidr.
• struct in_addr getNetmask (void) const — grab the network mask that belongs to this cidr.
• struct in_addr getBroadcast (void) const — compute the broadcast address that goes with this cidr.
• void set (const char *cidr) — set the cidr, and you can feed her a full or partial hostname, or an address/mask, or a host/bits specification. she's flexible like that. 💁‍♀️
• IPV4Cidr (const char *cidr) — build a brand new cidr out of a string.
• IPV4Cidr () — build an empty cidr. a blank canvas, an empty group chat, a fresh start 🦋
• IPV4Cidr (IPV4Cidr &) — build a copy of a cidr. twin energy 👯
• bool isMember (const struct sockaddr *saddr) const — check whether a socket address is a member of this cidr's network.
• bool isMember (const struct in_addr &inaddr) const — check whether a low level address object is a member of this cidr's net.
• bool operator== (const struct sockaddr *a) const
• bool operator== (const struct in_addr &a) const

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

The CIDR class is used to support routing tables and validate address policies. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she routes, she validates, she serves. 👑

🔥 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]

(this one's protected, so she's a little shy 🙈 — no extra details given, don't come for me)

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 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::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::operator== (const struct in_addr & a) const [inline]

bool ost::IPV4Cidr::operator== (const struct sockaddr * 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.
