Detailed Description

This is the IPv4 address tools implementation.

Function Documentation

u8_t ip4_addr_isbroadcast	(	u32_t	addr,
		const struct netif *	netif
	)

Determine if an address is a broadcast address on a network interface

Parameters

addr	address to be checked
netif	the network interface against which the address is checked

Returns

returns non-zero if the address is a broadcast address

u8_t ip4_addr_netmask_valid

(

u32_t

netmask

)

Checks if a netmask is valid (starting with ones, then only zeros)

Parameters

netmask

the IPv4 netmask to check (in network byte order!)

Returns

1 if the netmask is valid, 0 if it is not

u32_t ipaddr_addr

(

const char *

cp

)

Ascii internet address interpretation routine. The value returned is in network order.

Parameters

cp	IP address in ascii represenation (e.g. "127.0.0.1")

Returns

ip address in network order

int ipaddr_aton	(	const char *	cp,
		ip_addr_t *	addr
	)

Check whether "cp" is a valid ascii representation of an Internet address and convert to a binary address. Returns 1 if the address is valid, 0 if not. This replaces inet_addr, the return value from which cannot distinguish between failure and a local broadcast address.

Parameters

cp	IP address in ascii represenation (e.g. "127.0.0.1")
addr	pointer to which to save the ip address in network order

Returns

1 if cp could be converted to addr, 0 on failure

char* ipaddr_ntoa

(

const ip_addr_t *

addr

)

Convert numeric IP address into decimal dotted ASCII representation. returns ptr to static buffer; not reentrant!

Parameters

addr	ip address in network order to convert

Returns

pointer to a global static (!) buffer that holds the ASCII represenation of addr

char* ipaddr_ntoa_r	(	const ip_addr_t *	addr,
		char *	buf,
		int	buflen
	)

Same as ipaddr_ntoa, but reentrant since a user-supplied buffer is used.

Parameters

addr	ip address in network order to convert
buf	target buffer where the string is stored
buflen	length of buf

Returns

either pointer to buf which now holds the ASCII representation of addr or NULL if buf was too small
