Member Typedef Documentation

◆ const_iterator

typedef const uint8_t* Tins::IPv6Address::const_iterator

The const iterator type.

◆ iterator

typedef uint8_t* Tins::IPv6Address::iterator

The iterator type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IPv6Address() [1/3]

Tins::IPv6Address::IPv6Address ( const char * addr )

Constructor from a text representation char*.

Parameters

addr	The text representation from which to construct this object.

◆ IPv6Address() [2/3]

Tins::IPv6Address::IPv6Address ( const std::string & addr )

Constructor from a text representation std::string.

Parameters

addr	The text representation from which to construct this object.

◆ IPv6Address() [3/3]

Tins::IPv6Address::IPv6Address ( const_iterator ptr )

Constructor from a buffer.

The ptr parameter must be at least address_size bytes long.

Parameters

ptr	The buffer from which to construct this object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ begin() [1/2]

iterator Tins::IPv6Address::begin ( )

inline

Returns an iterator to the beginning of this address.

◆ begin() [2/2]

const_iterator Tins::IPv6Address::begin ( ) const

inline

Returns a const iterator to the beginning of this address.

◆ copy()

template<typename OutputIterator>

OutputIterator Tins::IPv6Address::copy ( OutputIterator iter ) const

inline

Helper function which copies the address into an output iterator.

This is the same as:

std::copy(begin(), end(), iter);

But since some PDUs return a IPv6Address by value, this function can be used to avoid temporaries.

Parameters

iter	The output iterator in which to store this address.

Returns: OutputIterator pointing to one-past the last position written.

◆ end() [1/2]

iterator Tins::IPv6Address::end ( )

inline

Returns an iterator to the one-past-the-end element of this address.

◆ end() [2/2]

const_iterator Tins::IPv6Address::end ( ) const

inline

Returns a const iterator to the one-past-the-end element of this address.

◆ from_prefix_length()

IPv6Address Tins::IPv6Address::from_prefix_length ( uint32_t prefix_length )

static

Constructs an IPv6 address from a prefix length.

Parameters

prefix_length The length of the prefix

◆ is_local_unicast()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::is_local_unicast ( ) const

Return true if this is a Link-Local unicast IPv6 address.

This method returns true if this address is in the address range fe80::/10, false otherwise

◆ is_loopback()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::is_loopback ( ) const

Returns true if this is a loopback IPv6 address.

This method returns true if this address is the ::1/128 address, false otherwise.

◆ is_multicast()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::is_multicast ( ) const

Returns true if this is a multicast IPv6 address.

This method returns true if this address is in the address range ff00::/8, false otherwise.

◆ operator!=()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::operator!= ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

inline

Compares this address for inequality.

Parameters

rhs	The address to be compared to.

Returns: bool indicating whether addresses are distinct.

◆ operator&()

IPv6Address Tins::IPv6Address::operator& ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

Applies a mask to an address

◆ operator<()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::operator< ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

inline

Compares this address for less-than inequality.

Parameters

rhs	The address to be compared to.

Returns: bool indicating whether this address is less-than rhs.

◆ operator<=()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::operator<= ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

inline

Compares this address for less-than equality.

Parameters

rhs	The address to be compared to.

Returns: bool indicating whether this address is equal or less-than rhs.

◆ operator==()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::operator== ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

inline

Compares this address for equality.

Parameters

rhs	The address to be compared to.

Returns: bool indicating whether addresses are equal.

◆ operator>()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::operator> ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

inline

Compares this address for greater-than inequality.

Parameters

rhs	The address to be compared to.

Returns: bool indicating whether this address is greater-than rhs.

◆ operator>=()

bool Tins::IPv6Address::operator>= ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

inline

Compares this address for greater-than equality.

Parameters

rhs	The address to be compared to.

Returns: bool indicating whether this address is equal or greater-than rhs.

◆ operator|()

IPv6Address Tins::IPv6Address::operator| ( const IPv6Address & rhs ) const

or a mask to an address

◆ operator~()

IPv6Address Tins::IPv6Address::operator~ ( ) const

not operator (invert)

◆ size()

size_t Tins::IPv6Address::size ( ) const

inline

Returns the size of an IPv6 Address.

This returns the value of IPv6Address::address_size

◆ to_string()

string Tins::IPv6Address::to_string ( ) const

Retrieve the string representation of this address.

Returns: std::string containing the representation of this address.

◆ operator<<

TINS_API friend std::ostream & operator<<	(	std::ostream &	os,
		const IPv6Address &	addr )

friend

Writes this address in hex-notation to a std::ostream.

Parameters

os	The stream in which to write the address.
addr	The parameter to be written.

Returns: std::ostream& pointing to the os parameter.
