Netmask¶

newNetmask(str): Netmask¶

newNetmask(ca, bits): Netmask

Returns a Netmask

Parameters:¶

• str (string) – A netmask, like 192.0.2.0/24.

• ca (ComboAddress) – A ComboAddress.

• bits (int) – The number of bits in this netmask.

class Netmask¶

Represents a netmask.

getBits(): int¶

Return the number of bits of this netmask, for example 24 for 192.0.2.0/24.

getMaskedNetwork(): ComboAddress¶

Return a ComboAddress object representing the base network of this netmask object after masking any additional bits if necessary (for example 192.0.2.0 if the netmask was constructed with newNetmask('192.0.2.1/24')).

empty(): bool¶

Return true if the netmask is empty, meaning that the netmask has not been set to a proper value.

isIPv4(): bool¶

Return true if the netmask is an IPv4 one.

isIPv6(): bool¶

Return true if the netmask is an IPv6 one.

getNetwork(): ComboAddress¶

Return a ComboAddress object representing the base network of this netmask object.

match(str): bool¶

Return true if the address passed in the str parameter belongs to this netmask.

Parameters:¶

str (string) – A network address, like 192.0.2.0.

toString(): string¶

Return a string representation of the netmask, for example 192.0.2.0/24.
