Public Member Functions

 IPV6Broadcast (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::IPV6Address
 IPV6Address (const IPV6Validator *validator=NULL)
 Create an Internet Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.
 IPV6Address (struct in6_addr addr, const IPV6Validator *validator=NULL)
 Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV6Address object.
 IPV6Address (const char *address, const IPV6Validator *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++ IPV6Address object.
 IPV6Address (const IPV6Address &rhs)
 Copy constructor.
virtual ~IPV6Address ()
 Destructor.
const char * getHostname (void) const
 Provide a string representation of the value (Internet Address) held in the IPV6Address object.
bool isInetAddress (void) const
 May be used to verify if a given IPV6Address returned by another function contains a "valid" address, or "0.0.0.0" which is often used to mark "invalid" IPV6Address values.
struct in6_addr getAddress (void) const
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV6Address.
struct in6_addr getAddress (size_t i) const
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV6Address.
size_t getAddressCount () const
 Returns the number of internet addresses that an IPV6Address object contains.
IPV6Addressoperator= (const char *str)
IPV6Addressoperator= (struct in6_addr addr)
IPV6Addressoperator= (const IPV6Address &rhs)
bool operator! () const
bool operator== (const IPV6Address &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 IPV6Address &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.
