🌸 address = Gnome2::VFS::Address->new_from_string ($address)

this is the constructor bestie, it makes you a shiny new address from a string. the arg:

• $address — a string, aka the text you're turning into an address. feed it a string, get an address back. iconic.

💜 boolean = $a->equal ($b)

does $a equal $b? returns a boolean, so like... true or false, no in-between, periodt.

• $b — a Gnome2::VFS::Address to compare against.

Since: vfs 2.13

🌈 integer = $address->get_family_type

hands you back an integer that's the family type. that's it, that's the method. no args, just vibes and a number. 🔢

🧚 boolean = $a->match ($b, $prefix)

does $a match $b with a given $prefix? boolean again, so true/false energy only.

• $b — a Gnome2::VFS::Address to match against.
• $prefix — an integer, aka the prefix you're matching with.
