ost::IPV6Host::IPV6Host | ( | 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 IPV6Host ("www.voxilla.org") can be directly declaired in this manner.
Defaults to the IP address that represents the interface matching "gethostname()".
host | dns or physical address of an Internet host. |
ost::IPV6Host::IPV6Host | ( | struct in6_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.
addr | binary address of internet host. |
Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address.
This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet.
