Constructor & destructor documentation
InetHostAddress::InetHostAddress (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 include either the physical host address or the DNS name of a host machine. Hence, an InetHostAddress ('www.voxilla.org') can be directly declaired in this manner.
Defaults to the IP address that represents the interface matching 'gethostname()'.
Parameters:
- host
-
dns or physical address of an Internet host.
InetHostAddress::InetHostAddress (struct in_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
InetHostAddress& InetHostAddress::operator &= (const InetMaskAddress & mask)
Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address.
This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet.
InetAddress& InetHostAddress::operator= (unsigned long addr) [inline]
Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl().
