ost::IPV6Cidr(3)

💖 ost::IPV6Cidr — Library Functions Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're doing IPv6 CIDR today and honestly? it's giving ✨network engineer✨. this is page ost::IPV6Cidr(3) and it's all about the CIDR class, which is out here supporting routing tables and validating address policies. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ost::IPV6Cidr — the CIDR class is used to support routing tables and validate address policies. she's the main character of address policy validation, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <address.h>

🎀 Public Member Functions 🎀

• struct in6_addr getNetwork (void) const — get the network address that's associated with this cidr.
• struct in6_addr getNetmask (void) const — get the network mask that's associated with this cidr.
• struct in6_addr getBroadcast (void) const — compute the broadcast address that's associated with this cidr.
• void set (const char *cidr) — set the cidr from a full or partial hostname, or from a host/bits specification.
• IPV6Cidr (const char *cidr) — construct a new cidr from a string.
• IPV6Cidr () — construct an empty cidr.
• IPV6Cidr (IPV6Cidr &) — construct a copy of a cidr.
• bool isMember (const struct sockaddr *saddr) const — see if a socket address is a member of this cidr's network.
• bool isMember (const struct in6_addr &inaddr) const — see if a low level address object is a member of this cidr's net.

🍓 ost::IPV6Cidr::IPV6Cidr (const char * cidr)

Construct a new cidr from a string. fresh out the box, already knows what it is. 💅

Parameters

• cidr — string to use.

🍓 ost::IPV6Cidr::IPV6Cidr ()

Construct an empty cidr. she's a blank canvas. an empty cidr. no thoughts, just potential. 🙈

🍓 ost::IPV6Cidr::IPV6Cidr (IPV6Cidr &)

Construct a copy of a cidr. twin energy fr fr.

Parameters

• cidr — to copy from.

⭐ struct in6_addr ost::IPV6Cidr::getBroadcast (void) const

Compute the broadcast address associated with this cidr.

Returns

system binary coded network address.

⭐ unsigned ost::IPV6Cidr::getMask (const char * cp) const [protected]

(protected, so bestie, that one's not for just anyone to touch — it's an inside-job function 💅)

⭐ struct in6_addr ost::IPV6Cidr::getNetmask (void) const [inline]

Get network mask associated with this cidr.

Returns

system binary coded network mask.

⭐ struct in6_addr ost::IPV6Cidr::getNetwork (void) const [inline]

Get network address associated with this cidr.

Returns

system binary coded address.

⭐ bool ost::IPV6Cidr::isMember (const struct in6_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::IPV6Cidr::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::IPV6Cidr::operator== (const struct in6_addr & a) const [inline]

(the comparison queen herself, inline and unbothered ✨)

⭐ bool ost::IPV6Cidr::operator== (const struct sockaddr * sa) const [inline]

(same energy, different argument type, we love consistency 🎀)

⭐ void ost::IPV6Cidr::set (const char * cidr)

Set the cidr from a full or partial hostname, or from a host/bits specification.

Parameters

• cidr — string to use.

this one's protected, so it's lowkey a secret between the class and its subclasses. respect the boundary bestie 🫶
