Public Member Functions

 IPV4Multicast ()
 Create an Internet Multicast Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.
 IPV4Multicast (struct in_addr address)
 Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV4Multicast object.
 IPV4Multicast (char *address)
 Convert a null terminated ASCII multicast address string (example: "224.0.0.1") or multicast name string (example: "sap.mcast.net") directly into a Common C++ IPV4Multicast object.
- Public Member Functions inherited from ost::IPV4Address
struct in_addr getAddress (void)
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV4Address.
struct in_addr getAddress (size_t i)
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV4Address.
size_t getAddressCount ()
 Returns the number of internet addresses that an IPV4Address object contains.
char * getHostname (void)
 Provide a string representation of the value (Internet Address) held in the IPV4Address object.
 IPV4Address (IPV4Validator *validator=((void *) 0))
 Create an Internet Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.
 IPV4Address (struct in_addr addr, IPV4Validator *validator=((void *) 0))
 Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV4Address object.
 IPV4Address (char *address, IPV4Validator *validator=((void *) 0))
 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 (IPV4Address &rhs)
 Copy constructor.
bool isInetAddress (void)
 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.
bool operator! ()
bool operator!= (IPV4Address &a)
 Compare two internet addresses to see if they are not equal (if they each refer to unique and different physical ip addresses).
IPV4Addressoperator= (char *str)
IPV4Addressoperator= (struct in_addr addr)
IPV4Addressoperator= (IPV4Address &rhs)
IPV4Addressoperator= (unsigned long addr)
 Allows assignment from the return of functions like inet_addr() or htonl()
IPV4Addressoperator= (unsigned int addr)
bool operator== (IPV4Address &a)
 Compare two internet addresses to see if they are equal (if they specify the physical address of the same internet host).
virtual ~IPV4Address ()
 Destructor.

Detailed Description

A specialization of IPV4Address that provides address validation for multicast addresses.

Whenever its value changes the new value is checked to be in the range from 224.0.0.1 through 239.255.255.255. If it is not, an exception is thrown.

A multicast network address.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::IPV4Multicast::IPV4Multicast ( struct in_addr  address)

Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV4Multicast object.

Parameters
addressstruct of system used binary internet address.
ost::IPV4Multicast::IPV4Multicast ( char *  address)

Convert a null terminated ASCII multicast address string (example: "224.0.0.1") or multicast name string (example: "sap.mcast.net") directly into a Common C++ IPV4Multicast object.

Works like IPV4Address(const char*).

Parameters
addressnull terminated C string.
