Public Member Functions

 IPV4Broadcast (const char *net="255.255.255.255")
 Specify the physical broadcast address to use and create a new broadcast address object based on a null terminated ASCII string.
Public Member Functions inherited from ost::IPV4Address
 IPV4Address (const IPV4Validator *validator=NULL)
 Create an Internet Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.
 IPV4Address (struct in_addr addr, const IPV4Validator *validator=NULL)
 Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV4Address object.
 IPV4Address (const char *address, const IPV4Validator *validator=NULL)
 Convert a null terminated ASCII host address string (example: "127.0.0.1") or host address name (example: "www.voxilla.org") directly into a Common C++ IPV4Address object.
 IPV4Address (const IPV4Address &rhs)
 Copy constructor.
virtual ~IPV4Address ()
 Destructor.
const char * getHostname (void) const
 Provide a string representation of the value (Internet Address) held in the IPV4Address object.
bool isInetAddress (void) const
 May be used to verify if a given IPV4Address returned by another function contains a "valid" address, or "0.0.0.0" which is often used to mark "invalid" IPV4Address values.
struct in_addr getAddress (void) const
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV4Address.
struct in_addr getAddress (size_t i) const
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV4Address.
size_t getAddressCount () const
 Returns the number of internet addresses that an IPV4Address object contains.
IPV4Addressoperator= (const char *str)
IPV4Addressoperator= (struct in_addr addr)
IPV4Addressoperator= (const IPV4Address &rhs)
IPV4Addressoperator= (unsigned long addr)
 Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl()
IPV4Addressoperator= (unsigned int addr)
bool operator! () const
bool operator== (const IPV4Address &a) const
 Compare two internet addresses to see if they are equal (if they specify the physical address of the same internet host).
bool operator!= (const IPV4Address &a) const
 Compare two internet addresses to see if they are not equal (if they each refer to unique and different physical ip addresses).

Detailed Description

The broadcast address object is used to store the broadcast address for a specific subnet.

This is commonly used for UDP broadcast operations.
