Constructor Detail

IPaddress

public IPaddress()

Default constructor: constructs the IP address 1.1.1.1/32. (Primarily for debugging use.)

IPaddress

public IPaddress(IPaddress ipa)

Copy constructor. All data used to initialize the IP address is copied from the given IP address.

Parameters:

ipa - The IP address to copy.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(int v)

Constructs an IP address using an integer as the address's value. The default of 32 is used for the prefix length.

Parameters:

v - The integer value of the IP address.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(long v)

Constructs an IP address using a (long) integer as the address's value. The default of 32 is used for the prefix length.

Parameters:

v - The (long) integer value of the IP address.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(int v,
                 int pre)

Constructs an IP address with the given integer value and prefix length.

Parameters:

v - The integer value of the IP address.

pre - The prefix length of the IP address.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(long v,
                 int pre)

Constructs an IP address with the given (long) integer value and prefix length.

Parameters:

v - The (long) integer value of the IP address.

pre - The prefix length of the IP address.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(byte[] bytes)

Constructs an IP address given an array of five bytes. The first four bytes represent the four bytes of the address, and the fifth contains the value of the prefix length.

Parameters:

bytes - An array of bytes to be converted into an IP address.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(boolean[] bin)

Constructs an IP address using a boolean array. Each boolean in the array represents a bit in the address. A value of 'true' indicates a 1 and 'false' indicates a 0. The last element in the boolean array represents the highest order (first, leftmost) bit in the IP address. The length of the boolean array indicates the prefix length of the IP address. Element 0 in the boolean array represents the lowest-order bit of the IP address that is not beyond the prefix length. All bits beyond the prefix length are set to 0.

Parameters:

bin - An array of booleans which represents an IP address.

IPaddress

public IPaddress(java.lang.String str)

Constructs an IP address using a string. The string must represent an IP address either in dotted-quad notation (a.b.c.d), dotted-quad plus prefix notation (a.b.c.d/p), or binary notation (for example, 01100010010). There may optionally be double-quotes (") surrounding the notation. If no prefix is provided in dotted-quad notation, a value of 32 is used. In binary notation, the prefix length is the length of the string, and the leftmost character represents the most significant bit.

Parameters:

str - The string representing an IP address.

Method Detail

bytes2str

public static java.lang.String bytes2str(byte[] bytes)

Converts an array of five bytes into an IP address in string form.

Parameters:

bytes - An array of bytes to be converted into an IP address.

Returns:

an IP address in string form

bin2str

public static final java.lang.String bin2str(boolean[] b)

Converts an IP address from boolean array format to string format. See constructor IPaddress(boolean[]) for an explanation of the boolean array format.

Parameters:

b - A boolean array representing an IP address.

Returns:

an IP address in String format

See Also:

IPaddress(boolean[])

str2bin

public static final boolean[] str2bin(java.lang.String str)

str - A string representing the IP address to be converted.

Returns:

an IP address in boolean array format

bit

public final int bit(int bitnum)

Returns the value of a single bit in the IP address. Bits are indexed from 1 to 32. Bit 1 is the most significant (leftmost) and bit 32 is the least significant (rightmost).

the value of the bit in question

bits

Returns only the prefix bits in the IP address as a BitString of length prefix_len.

Returns:

a BitString object representing the prefix bits of an IP address

bytes

public final byte[] bytes()

Returns the IP address as an array of five bytes. The first four bytes cointain the values as used in traditional dotted-quad notation. The final bytes is the value of the prefix length. Note that because a Java byte is signed, care must be taken in translating from the byte array back into dotted-quad notation.

Returns:

an IP address as an array of five bytes

binval

public final boolean[] binval()

Returns the IP address in boolean array format, where the size of the array returned is the same as the prefix length.

Returns:

an IP address in boolean array format

binval

Returns the IP address in boolean array format. The fullsize parameter determines whether or not the array length is 32 or prefix_len.

Parameters:

fullsize - Whether or not to pad the array with zeroes (falses) up to 32 if the prefix length is less than 32.

Returns:

an IP address in boolean array format

val

Returns:

the value of the IP address as a 32-bit integer

intval

public final int intval()

Returns the value of IP address just as in val(), but returns it as an integer, if possible, instead of a long integer. Some IP address values may be too big to fit in a regular integer. This method exists because in many cases it's easier to deal with an int than a long.
