Detailed Description

Types and methods to parse IP address strings.

Introduction

IP v4 and v6 addresses can be parsed using the fiftyoneDegreesIpAddressParse and #fiftyoneDegreesIpAddressesParse methods.

Structs
struct	fiftyoneDegreesIpAddress
	The structure to hold a IP Address in byte array format. More...

Macros
#define	FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IPV4_LENGTH 4
	The number of bytes in an Ipv4 Address.
#define	FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IPV6_LENGTH 16
	The number of bytes in an Ipv6 Address.

Enumerations
enum	fiftyoneDegreesIpType { FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IP_TYPE_INVALID = 0 , FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IP_TYPE_IPV4 = 4 , FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IP_TYPE_IPV6 = 6 }
	Enum indicating the type of IP address. More...

Functions
bool	fiftyoneDegreesIpAddressParse (const char start, const char end, fiftyoneDegreesIpAddress *address)
	Parse a single IP address string.
int	fiftyoneDegreesIpAddressesCompare (const unsigned char ipAddress1, const unsigned char ipAddress2, fiftyoneDegreesIpType type)
	Compare two IP addresses in its binary form.

Enum indicating the type of IP address.

Enumerator
FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IP_TYPE_INVALID	Invalid IP address.
FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IP_TYPE_IPV4	An IPv4 address.
FIFTYONE_DEGREES_IP_TYPE_IPV6	An IPv6 address.

int fiftyoneDegreesIpAddressesCompare	(	const unsigned char *	ipAddress1,
		const unsigned char *	ipAddress2,
		fiftyoneDegreesIpType	type )

Compare two IP addresses in its binary form.

Parameters

ipAddress1	the first IP address
ipAddress2	the second IP address
type	the type of IP address. This determine the number of bytes to compare. IPv4 require 4 bytes and IPv6 require 16 bytes

Returns: a value indicate the result: 0 for equals

0 for ipAddress1 comes after ipAddress2 < 0 for ipAddress1 comes before ipAddress2

bool fiftyoneDegreesIpAddressParse	(	const char *	start,
		const char *	end,
		fiftyoneDegreesIpAddress *	address )

Parse a single IP address string.

Does not modify the last 12 (out of 16) bytes when parsing IPv4.

Parameters

start	of the string containing the IP address to parse
end	the last character of the string (with IP address) to be considered for parsing
address	memory to write parsed IP address into.
