miniIPutils

An advanced self managing IP Address Utility tool capable of managing both managing IPv4 and IPv6 Address.

CIPAddress

CIPAddress wrapper library can process any IP address format from one among the following:

• std::string
• const char*
• struct in_addr_t
• struct in_addr
• struct in6_addr
• struct sockaddr_storage

APIs

• GetIPFamily() returns the IP Address family.
• IsValidIP() returns if IP is valid or not.
• GetString() returns a string for the IP Address.
• GetIPAddressBytes() returns a sockaddr_storage structure.
• GetIPAddress(struct in_addr & byteAddress ) returns 0 on success with valid IPv4 address populated to byte address.
• GetIPAddress(struct in6_addr & byteAddress ) returns 0 on success with valid IPv6 address populated to byte address.
• Compare(const CIPAddress& IpAddress) compare a CIPAddress instance with current insance.
• to_string() provides a string representation of a class.

Example of Use

Here are some examples of the use for CIPAddress class implementation.

#include <CIPAddress.h>

CIPAddress obj("127.0.0.1");
// Checking for validty
if (obj) // Also obj.IsValidIP() can be used to check validity.
{
    std::cout << "Valid IP Address";
}
// to print ip Address string or send it to stream
stream_obj << obj;
// to get string value;
std::cout << obj.GetString();
