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(). Reimplemented from InetAddress.
