okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about ost::IPV6Mask ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ost::IPV6Mask — Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as ' 255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV6Mask derived object. 💖

👑 Detailed Description 👑

Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as ' 255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV6Mask derived object. no cap 💅

The separate class is used so that C++ type casting can automatically determine when an IPV6Address object is really a mask address object rather than simply using the base class. This also allows manipulative operators for address masking to operate only when presented with a Masked address as well as providing cleaner and safer source. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

💖 ost::IPV6Mask::IPV6Mask (const char * mask)

Create the mask from a null terminated ASCII string such as '255.255.255.128'. ✨

Parameters

  • mask — null terminated ASCII mask string.

💫 __EXPORT IPV6Host operator& (const IPV6Host & addr, const IPV6Mask & mask)

[friend] 🫂

Masks are usually used to coerce host addresses into a specific router or class domain. This can be done by taking the Inet Host Address object and 'and'ing it with an address mask. This operation can be directly expressed in C++ through the & operator. 🔥

Returns

  • a internet host address that has been masked.

Parameters

  • addr — host address to be masked by subnet.
  • mask — inetnet mask address object to mask by.
