If you do not have a C complier available or would like the slower Pure Perl version for some other reason, then type: .PP .Vb 4 \& perl Makefile.PL \-noxs \& make \& make test \& make install .Ve .SH "DESCRIPTION" .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" This module provides an object-oriented abstraction on top of \s-1IP\s0 addresses or \s-1IP\s0 subnets that allows for easy manipulations. Version 4.xx of NetAddr::IP will work with older versions of Perl and is compatible with Math::BigInt. .PP The internal representation of all \s-1IP\s0 objects is in 128 bit IPv6 notation. IPv4 and IPv6 objects may be freely mixed. .SS "Overloaded Operators" .IX Subsection "Overloaded Operators" Many operators have been overloaded, as described below: .ie n .IP "\fBAssignment (\f(CB""=""\fB)\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fBAssignment (\f(CB=\fB)\fR" 4 .IX Item "Assignment (=)" Has been optimized to copy one NetAddr::IP object to another very quickly. .ie n .IP "\fB\f(CB""\->copy()""\fB\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fB\f(CB\->copy()\fB\fR" 4 .IX Item "->copy()" The \fBassignment (\f(CB\*(C`=\*(C'\fB)\fR operation is only put in to operation when the copied object is further mutated by another overloaded operation. See overload \fB\s-1SPECIAL SYMBOLS FOR\s0 \*(L"use overload\*(R"\fR for details. .Sp \&\fB\f(CB\*(C`\->copy()\*(C'\fB\fR actually creates a new object when called. .IP "\fBStringification\fR" 4 .IX Item "Stringification" An object can be used just as a string. For instance, the following code .Sp .Vb 2 \& my $ip = new NetAddr::IP \*(Aq192.168.1.123\*(Aq; \& print "$ip\en"; .Ve .Sp Will print the string 192.168.1.123/32. .IP "\fBEquality\fR" 4 .IX Item "Equality" You can test for equality with either \f(CW\*(C`eq\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`==\*(C'\fR. \f(CW\*(C`eq\*(C'\fR allows comparison with arbitrary strings as well as NetAddr::IP objects. The following example: .Sp .Vb 2 \& if (NetAddr::IP\->new(\*(Aq127.0.0.1\*(Aq,\*(Aq255.0.0.0\*(Aq) eq \*(Aq127.0.0.1/8\*(Aq) \& { print "Yes\en"; } .Ve .Sp will print out \*(L"Yes\*(R". .Sp Comparison with \f(CW\*(C`==\*(C'\fR requires both operands to be NetAddr::IP objects. .Sp In both cases, a true value is returned if the \s-1CIDR\s0 representation of the operands is equal. .ie n .IP "\fBComparison via >, <, >=, <=, <=> and \f(CB""cmp""\fB\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fBComparison via >, <, >=, <=, <=> and \f(CBcmp\fB\fR" 4 .IX Item "Comparison via >, <, >=, <=, <=> and cmp" Internally, all network objects are represented in 128 bit format. The numeric representation of the network is compared through the corresponding operation. Comparisons are tried first on the address portion of the object and if that is equal then the \s-1NUMERIC\s0 cidr portion of the masks are compared. This leads to the counterintuitive result that .Sp .Vb 1 \& /24 > /16 .Ve .Sp Comparison should not be done on netaddr objects with different \s-1CIDR\s0 as this may produce indeterminate \- unexpected results, rather the determination of which netblock is larger or smaller should be done by comparing .Sp .Vb 1 \& $ip1\->masklen <=> $ip2\->masklen .Ve .ie n .IP "\fBAddition of a constant (\f(CB""+""\fB)\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fBAddition of a constant (\f(CB+\fB)\fR" 4 .IX Item "Addition of a constant (+)" Add a 32 bit signed constant to the address part of a NetAddr object. This operation changes the address part to point so many hosts above the current objects start address. For instance, this code: .Sp .Vb 1 \& print NetAddr::IP\->new(\*(Aq127.0.0.1/8\*(Aq) + 5; .Ve .Sp will output 127.0.0.6/8. The address will wrap around at the broadcast back to the network address. This code: .Sp .Vb 1 \& print NetAddr::IP\->new(\*(Aq10.0.0.1/24\*(Aq) + 255; \& \& outputs 10.0.0.0/24. .Ve .Sp Returns the the unchanged object when the constant is missing or out of range. .Sp .Vb 1 \& 2147483647 <= constant >= \-2147483648 .Ve .ie n .IP "\fBSubtraction of a constant (\f(CB""\-""\fB)\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fBSubtraction of a constant (\f(CB\-\fB)\fR" 4 .IX Item "Subtraction of a constant (-)" The complement of the addition of a constant. .ie n .IP "\fBDifference (\f(CB""\-""\fB)\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fBDifference (\f(CB\-\fB)\fR" 4 .IX Item "Difference (-)" Returns the difference between the address parts of two NetAddr::IP objects address parts as a 32 bit signed number. .Sp Returns \fBundef\fR if the difference is out of range. .Sp (See range restrictions on Addition above) .IP "\fBAuto-increment\fR" 4 .IX Item "Auto-increment" Auto-incrementing a NetAddr::IP object causes the address part to be adjusted to the next host address within the subnet. It will wrap at the broadcast address and start again from the network address. .IP "\fBAuto-decrement\fR" 4 .IX Item "Auto-decrement" Auto-decrementing a NetAddr::IP object performs exactly the opposite of auto-incrementing it, as you would expect. .SS "Serializing and Deserializing" .IX Subsection "Serializing and Deserializing" This module defines hooks to collaborate with Storable for serializing \f(CW\*(C`NetAddr::IP\*(C'\fR objects, through compact and human readable strings. You can revert to the old format by invoking this module as .PP .Vb 1 \& use NetAddr::IP \*(Aq:old_storable\*(Aq; .Ve .PP You must do this if you have legacy data files containing NetAddr::IP objects stored using the Storable module. .SS "Methods" .IX Subsection "Methods" .ie n .IP """\->new([$addr, [ $mask|IPv6 ]])""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\->new([$addr, [ $mask|IPv6 ]])\fR" 4 .IX Item "->new([$addr, [ $mask|IPv6 ]])" .PD 0 .ie n .IP """\->new6([$addr, [ $mask]])""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\->new6([$addr, [ $mask]])\fR" 4 .IX Item "->new6([$addr, [ $mask]])" .ie n .IP """\->new_no([$addr, [ $mask]])""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\->new_no([$addr, [ $mask]])\fR" 4 .IX Item "->new_no([$addr, [ $mask]])" .ie n .IP """\->new_from_aton($netaddr)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\->new_from_aton($netaddr)\fR" 4 .IX Item "->new_from_aton($netaddr)" .IP "new_cis and new_cis6 are \s-1DEPRECATED\s0" 4 .IX Item "new_cis and new_cis6 are DEPRECATED" .ie n .IP """\->new_cis(""$addr $mask)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\->new_cis(""$addr $mask)\fR" 4 .IX Item "->new_cis(""$addr $mask)" .ie n .IP """\->new_cis6(""$addr $mask)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\->new_cis6(""$addr $mask)\fR" 4 .IX Item "->new_cis6(""$addr $mask)" .PD The first two methods create a new address with the supplied address in \&\f(CW$addr\fR and an optional netmask \f(CW$mask\fR, which can be omitted to get a /32 or /128 netmask for IPv4 / IPv6 addresses respectively. .Sp The third method \f(CW\*(C`new_no\*(C'\fR is exclusively for IPv4 addresses and filters improperly formatted dot quad strings for leading 0's that would normally be interpreted as octal format by NetAddr per the specifications for inet_aton. .Sp \&\fBnew_from_aton\fR takes a packed IPv4 address and assumes a /32 mask. This function replaces the \s-1DEPRECATED\s0 :aton functionality which is fundamentally broken. .Sp The last two methods \fBnew_cis\fR and \fBnew_cis6\fR differ from \fBnew\fR and \&\fBnew6\fR only in that they except the common Cisco address notation for address/mask pairs with a \fBspace\fR as a separator instead of a slash (/) .Sp These methods are \s-1DEPRECATED\s0 because the functionality is now included in the other \*(L"new\*(R" methods .Sp .Vb 3 \& i.e. \->new_cis(\*(Aq1.2.3.0 24\*(Aq) \& or \& \->new_cis6(\*(Aq::1.2.3.0 120\*(Aq) .Ve .Sp \&\f(CW\*(C`\->new6\*(C'\fR and \&\f(CW\*(C`\->new_cis6\*(C'\fR mark the address as being in ipV6 address space even if the format would suggest otherwise. .Sp .Vb 1 \& i.e. \->new6(\*(Aq1.2.3.4\*(Aq) will result in ::102:304 \& \& addresses submitted to \->new in ipV6 notation will \& remain in that notation permanently. i.e. \& \->new(\*(Aq::1.2.3.4\*(Aq) will result in ::102:304 \& whereas new(\*(Aq1.2.3.4\*(Aq) would print out as 1.2.3.4 \& \& See "STRINGIFICATION" below. .Ve .Sp \&\f(CW$addr\fR can be almost anything that can be resolved to an \s-1IP\s0 address in all the notations I have seen over time. It can optionally contain the mask in \s-1CIDR\s0 notation. .Sp \&\fBprefix\fR notation is understood, with the limitation that the range specified by the prefix must match with a valid subnet. .Sp Addresses in the same format returned by \f(CW\*(C`inet_aton\*(C'\fR or \&\f(CW\*(C`gethostbyname\*(C'\fR can also be understood, although no mask can be specified for them.
