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.

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().
