in4_addr_is_link_local

#define in4_addr_is_link_local

(

addr

)

((addr & 0xffff0000) == 0xa9fe0000)

Link-local address Returns true if the address is in the 169.254/16 network block

((addr & 0xffffff00) == 0xe0000000)

Unicast Local Returns true if the address is in the 224.0.0.0/24 local network control block

in4_addr_is_multicast

#define in4_addr_is_multicast

(

addr

)

((addr & 0xf0000000) == 0xe0000000)

Multicast Returns true if the address is in the 224.0.0.0/4 network block

Value:

  (((addr & 0xff000000) == 0x0a000000) || \

   ((addr & 0xffff0000) == 0xc0a80000))

Private address Returns true if the address is in one of the three blocks reserved for private IPv4 addresses by section 3 of RFC 1918, namely: 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16

Typedef Documentation

ws_in4_addr

typedef uint32_t ws_in4_addr

Represents a 32-bit IPv4 address in network byte order.

ws_in6_addr

typedef struct e_in6_addr ws_in6_addr

Represents a 128-bit IPv6 address.

Function Documentation

ws_inet_pton4()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC bool ws_inet_pton4	(	const char *	src,
		ws_in4_addr *	dst
	)

Parses a string-form IPv4 address into binary format.

Converts a human-readable IPv4 address (e.g., "127.0.0.1") from src into its 32-bit network byte order representation and stores the result in dst.

Parameters

src	Pointer to a string containing the IPv4 address.
dst	Pointer to a ws_in4_addr where the parsed address will be stored.

Returns

true on successful parsing, false if the input is not a valid IPv4 address.

ws_inet_pton6()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC bool ws_inet_pton6	(	const char *	src,
		ws_in6_addr *	dst
	)

Parses a string-form IPv6 address into binary format.

Converts a human-readable IPv6 address (e.g., "2001:db8::1") from src into its 128-bit binary representation and stores the result in dst.

Parameters

src	Pointer to a string containing the IPv6 address.
dst	Pointer to a ws_in6_addr structure where the parsed address will be stored.

Returns

true on success, false if the input is not a valid IPv6 address.
