Public Member Functions

 IPV6Multicast ()
 Create an Internet Multicast Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.
 IPV6Multicast (struct in6_addr address)
 Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV4Multicast object.
 IPV6Multicast (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++ IPV6Multicast object.
- Public Member Functions inherited from ost::IPV6Address
struct in6_addr getAddress (void)
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV6Address.
struct in6_addr getAddress (size_t i)
 Provide a low level system usable struct in_addr object from the contents of IPV6Address.
size_t getAddressCount ()
 Returns the number of internet addresses that an IPV6Address object contains.
char * getHostname (void)
 Provide a string representation of the value (Internet Address) held in the IPV6Address object.
 IPV6Address (IPV6Validator *validator=((void *) 0))
 Create an Internet Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.
 IPV6Address (struct in6_addr addr, IPV6Validator *validator=((void *) 0))
 Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV6Address object.
 IPV6Address (char *address, IPV6Validator *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++ IPV6Address object.
 IPV6Address (IPV6Address &rhs)
 Copy constructor.
bool isInetAddress (void)
 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.
bool operator! ()
bool operator!= (IPV6Address &a)
 Compare two internet addresses to see if they are not equal (if they each refer to unique and different physical ip addresses).
IPV6Addressoperator= (char *str)
IPV6Addressoperator= (struct in6_addr addr)
IPV6Addressoperator= (IPV6Address &rhs)
bool operator== (IPV6Address &a)
 Compare two internet addresses to see if they are equal (if they specify the physical address of the same internet host).
virtual ~IPV6Address ()
 Destructor.

Detailed Description

A specialization of IPV6Address 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::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast ( struct in6_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::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast ( 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++ IPV6Multicast object.

Works like IPV6Address(const char*).

Parameters
addressnull terminated C string.
