Member Functions

Name

Description

address_v4 [constructor]

Default constructor.

Construct an address from raw bytes.

Construct an address from an unsigned integer in host byte order.

Copy constructor.

any [static]

Obtain an address object that represents any address.

broadcast [static]

Obtain an address object that represents the broadcast address.

(Deprecated: Use network_v4 class.) Obtain an address object that represents the broadcast address that corresponds to the specified address and netmask.

from_string [static]

(Deprecated: Use make_address_v4().) Create an address from an IP address string in dotted decimal form.

is_class_a

(Deprecated: Use network_v4 class.) Determine whether the address is a class A address.

is_class_b

(Deprecated: Use network_v4 class.) Determine whether the address is a class B address.

is_class_c

(Deprecated: Use network_v4 class.) Determine whether the address is a class C address.

is_loopback

Determine whether the address is a loopback address.

is_multicast

Determine whether the address is a multicast address.

is_unspecified

Determine whether the address is unspecified.

loopback [static]

Obtain an address object that represents the loopback address.

netmask [static]

(Deprecated: Use network_v4 class.) Obtain the netmask that corresponds to the address, based on its address class.

operator=

Assign from another address.

to_bytes

Get the address in bytes, in network byte order.

to_string

Get the address as a string in dotted decimal format.

(Deprecated: Use other overload.) Get the address as a string in dotted decimal format.

to_uint

Get the address as an unsigned integer in host byte order.

to_ulong

(Deprecated: Use to_uint().) Get the address as an unsigned long in host byte order.
