DESCRIPTION
NetAddr::IP::InetBase provides a suite network of conversion functions
written in pure Perl for converting both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to and
from network address format and text format.
The IPv6 functions support all rfc1884 formats.
i.e. x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
x:x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d
::x:x:x
::x:d.d.d.d
and so on...
o $dotquad = inet_ntoa($netaddr);
Convert a packed IPv4 network address to a dot-quad IP address.
input: packed network address
returns: IP address i.e. 10.4.12.123
o $netaddr = inet_aton($dotquad);
Convert a dot-quad IP address into an IPv4 packed network address.
input: IP address i.e. 192.5.16.32
returns: packed network address
o $ipv6addr = ipv6_aton($ipv6_text);
Takes an IPv6 address of the form described in rfc1884 and returns
a 128 bit binary RDATA string.
input: ipv6 text
returns: 128 bit RDATA string
o $ipv6text = ipv6_ntoa($ipv6naddr);
Convert a 128 bit binary IPv6 address to compressed rfc 1884 text
representation.
input: 128 bit RDATA string
returns: ipv6 text
o $hex_text = ipv6_n2x($ipv6addr);
Takes an IPv6 RDATA string and returns an 8 segment IPv6 hex
address
input: 128 bit RDATA string
returns: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
Note: this function does NOT compress adjacent
strings of 0:0:0:0 into the :: format
o $dec_text = ipv6_n2d($ipv6addr);
Takes an IPv6 RDATA string and returns a mixed hex - decimal IPv6
address with the 6 uppermost chunks in hex and the lower 32 bits in
dot-quad representation.
input: 128 bit RDATA string
returns: x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d
Note: this function does NOT compress adjacent
strings of 0:0:0:0 into the :: format
o $ipv6naddr = inet_any2n($dotquad or $ipv6_text);
This function converts a text IPv4 or IPv6 address in text format
in any standard notation into a 128 bit IPv6 string address. It
prefixes any dot-quad address (if found) with '::' and passes it to
ipv6_aton.
input: dot-quad or rfc1844 address
returns: 128 bit IPv6 string
o $dotquad or $hex_text = inet_n2dx($ipv6naddr);
This function does the right thing and returns the text for either
a dot-quad IPv4 or a hex notation IPv6 address.
input: 128 bit IPv6 string
returns: ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
or x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
Note: this function does NOT compress adjacent
strings of 0:0:0:0 into the :: format
o $dotquad or $dec_text = inet_n2ad($ipv6naddr);
This function does the right thing and returns the text for either
a dot-quad IPv4 or a hex::decimal notation IPv6 address.
input: 128 bit IPv6 string
returns: ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
or x:x:x:x:x:x:ddd.ddd.ddd.dd
Note: this function does NOT compress adjacent
strings of 0:0:0:0 into the :: format
o $netaddr = inet_pton($AF_family,$text_addr);
This function takes an IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 text format and
converts it into binary format. The type of IP address conversion
is controlled by the FAMILY argument.
NOTE: inet_pton, inet_ntop and AF_INET6 come from the Socket6
library if it is present on this host.
o $text_addr = inet_ntop($AF_family,$netaddr);
This function takes and IP address in binary format and converts it
into text format. The type of IP address conversion is controlled
by the FAMILY argument.
NOTE: inet_ntop ALWAYS returns lowercase characters.
NOTE: inet_pton, inet_ntop and AF_INET6 come from the Socket6
library if it is present on this host.
o $hex_text = packzeros($hex_text);
This function optimizes and rfc 1884 IPv6 hex address to reduce the
number of long strings of zero bits as specified in rfc 1884, 2.2
(2) by substituting :: for the first occurence of the longest
string of zeros in the address.
o $ipv6naddr = ipv4to6($netaddr);
Convert an ipv4 network address into an ipv6 network address.
input: 32 bit network address
returns: 128 bit network address
o $rv = isIPv4($bits128);
This function returns true if there are no on bits present in the
IPv6 portion of the 128 bit string and false otherwise.
i.e. the address must be of the form - ::d.d.d.d
Note: this is an old and deprecated ipV4 compatible ipV6 address
o $rv = isNewIPv4($bits128);
This function return true if the IPv6 128 bit string is of the form
::ffff:d.d.d.d
o $rv = isAnyIPv4($bits128);
This function return true if the IPv6 bit string is of the form
::d.d.d.d or ::ffff:d.d.d.d
o NetAddr::IP::InetBase::lower();
Return IPv6 strings in lowercase. This is the default.
o NetAddr::IP::InetBase::upper();
Return IPv6 strings in uppercase.
The default may be set to uppercase when the module is loaded by
invoking the TAG :upper. i.e.
use NetAddr::IP::InetBase qw( :upper );
o $constant = AF_INET;
This function returns the system value for AF_INET.
o $constant = AF_INET6;
AF_INET6 is sometimes present in the Socket library and always
present in the Socket6 library. When the Socket library does not
contain AF_INET6 and when Socket6 is not present, a place holder
value is "guessed" based on the underlying host operating system.
See fake_AF_INET6 below.
NOTE: inet_pton, inet_ntop and AF_INET6 come from the Socket6
library if it is present on this host.
o $trueif = fake_AF_INET6;
This function return FALSE if AF_INET6 is provided by Socket or
Socket6. Otherwise, it returns the best guess value based on name
of the host operating system.
o $ip_filled = fillIPv4($shortIP);
This function converts IPv4 addresses of the form 127.1 to the long
form 127.0.0.1
If the function is passed an argument that does not match the form
of an IP address, the original argument is returned. i.e. pass it a
hostname or a short IP and it will return a hostname or a filled
IP.
