💖 ost::IPV4Host 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ost::IPV4Host page — it lives in the Library Functions Manual (section 3, we love a library call), and it's genuinely one of the most useful lil objects in GNU CommonC++.

✨ NAME ✨

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.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <address.h>

Inherits ost::IPV4Address. yes bestie, it's giving inheritance, it's giving legacy code that actually works 🫶

👑 Public Member Functions

  • IPV4Host (const char *host=NULL) — Create a new host address for a specific internet host.
  • 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.
  • IPV4Address & operator= (unsigned long addr) — Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl()
  • IPV4Host & operator&= (const IPV4Mask &mask) — Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address.

Address of a specific Internet host machine. literally its whole personality 🎀

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🧚

🌟 ost::IPV4Host::IPV4Host (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 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.
not me giving you the whole DNS name OR the raw address, your choice bestie, we're flexible like that 💖

🌟 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 ⭐

🔥 IPV4Host& ost::IPV4Host::operator&= (const IPV4Mask & mask)

Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address. This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet.

🔥 IPV4Address& ost::IPV4Host::operator= (unsigned long addr) [inline]

Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl()
