✨ Constructor & Destructor Documentation ✨

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 it can include either the physical host address or the DNS name of a host machine. so like, you can literally just declare an IPV6Host ('www.voxilla.org') directly, right there, and it just works. iconic behavior honestly. ✨

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

Parameters

  • host — dns or physical address of an Internet host.

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

  • addr — binary address of internet host.

✨ Member Function Documentation ✨

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. 💅

  • friend class __EXPORT IPV6Mask [friend] 🎀
  • __EXPORT IPV6Host operator&(const IPV6Host &addr, const IPV6Mask &mask) [friend] — yes it's the friend version, the & between a host and a mask, slay. 🦋
