INSTALLATION
Un-tar the distribution in an appropriate directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
NetAddr::IP::Util installs by default with its primary functions
compiled using Perl's XS extensions to build a 'C' library. If you do
not have a 'C' complier available or would like the slower Pure Perl
version for some other reason, then type:
perl Makefile.PL -noxs
make
make test
make install
DESCRIPTION
NetAddr::IP::Util provides a suite of tools for manipulating and
converting IPv4 and IPv6 addresses into 128 bit string context and back
to text. The strings can be manipulated with Perl's logical operators:
and &
or |
xor ^
~ compliment
in the same manner as 'vec' strings.
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 $ipv6_text = ipv6_ntoa($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
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
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 $rv = hasbits($bits128);
This function returns true if there are one's present in the 128
bit string and false if all the bits are zero.
i.e. if (hasbits($bits128)) {
&do_something;
}
or if (hasbits($bits128 & $mask128) {
&do_something;
}
This allows the implementation of logical functions of the form of:
if ($bits128 & $mask128) {
...
input: 128 bit IPv6 string
returns: true if any bits are present
o $ipv6naddr = inet_4map6($netaddr or $ipv6naddr
This function returns an ipV6 network address with the first 80
bits set to zero and the next 16 bits set to one, while the last 32
bits are filled with the ipV4 address.
input: ipV4 netaddr
or ipV6 netaddr
returns: ipV6 netaddr
returns: undef on error
An ipV6 network address must be in one of the two compatible ipV4
mapped address spaces. i.e.
::ffff::d.d.d.d or ::d.d.d.d
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 $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
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
o $netaddr = inet_pton($AF_family,$hex_text);
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.
o $hex_text = inet_ntop($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.
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 $ipv6naddr = mask4to6($netaddr);
Convert an ipv4 network address/mask into an ipv6 network mask.
input: 32 bit network/mask address
returns: 128 bit network/mask address
NOTE: returns the high 96 bits as one's
o $ipv6naddr = ipanyto6($netaddr);
Similar to ipv4to6 except that this function takes either an IPv4
or IPv6 input and always returns a 128 bit IPv6 network address.
input: 32 or 128 bit network address
returns: 128 bit network address
o $ipv6naddr = maskanyto6($netaddr);
Similar to mask4to6 except that this function takes either an IPv4
or IPv6 netmask and always returns a 128 bit IPv6 netmask.
input: 32 or 128 bit network mask
returns: 128 bit network mask
o $netaddr = ipv6to4($pv6naddr);
Truncate the upper 96 bits of a 128 bit address and return the
lower 32 bits. Returns an IPv4 address as returned by inet_aton.
input: 128 bit network address
returns: 32 bit inet_aton network address
o $bitsXn = shiftleft($bits128,$n);
input: 128 bit string variable,
number of shifts [optional]
returns: bits X n shifts
NOTE: a single shift is performed
if $n is not specified
o addconst($ipv6naddr,$signed_32con);
Add a signed constant to a 128 bit string variable.
input: 128 bit IPv6 string,
signed 32 bit integer
returns: scalar carry
array (carry, result)
o add128($ipv6naddr1,$ipv6naddr2);
Add two 128 bit string variables.
input: 128 bit string var1,
128 bit string var2
returns: scalar carry
array (carry, result)
o sub128($ipv6naddr1,$ipv6naddr2);
Subtract two 128 bit string variables.
input: 128 bit string var1,
128 bit string var2
returns: scalar carry
array (carry, result)
Note: The carry from this operation is the result of adding the
one's complement of ARG2 +1 to the ARG1. It is logically NOT
borrow.
i.e. if ARG1 >= ARG2 then carry = 1
or if ARG1 < ARG2 then carry = 0
o ($spurious,$cidr) = notcontiguous($mask128);
This function counts the bit positions remaining in the mask when
the rightmost '0's are removed.
input: 128 bit netmask
returns true if there are spurious
zero bits remaining in the
mask, false if the mask is
contiguous one's,
128 bit cidr number
o $bcdtext = bin2bcd($bits128);
Convert a 128 bit binary string into binary coded decimal text
digits.
input: 128 bit string variable
returns: string of bcd text digits
o $bits128 = bcd2bin($bcdtxt);
Convert a bcd text string to 128 bit string variable
input: string of bcd text digits
returns: 128 bit string variable
o $modetext = mode;
Returns the operating mode of this module.
input: none
returns: "Pure Perl"
or "CC XS"
o ($name,$aliases,$addrtype,$length,@addrs)=naip_gethostbyname(NAME);
Replacement for Perl's gethostbyname if Socket6 is available
In ARRAY context, returns a list of five elements, the hostname or
NAME, a space separated list of C_NAMES, AF family, length of the
address structure, and an array of one or more netaddr's
In SCALAR context, returns the first netaddr.
This function ALWAYS returns an IPv6 address, even on IPv4 only
systems. IPv4 addresses are mapped into IPv6 space in the form:
::FFFF:FFFF:d.d.d.d
This is NOT the expected result from Perl's gethostbyname2. It is
instead equivalent to:
On an IPv4 only system:
$ipv6naddr = ipv4to6 scalar ( gethostbyname( name ));
On a system with Socket6 and a working gethostbyname2:
$ipv6naddr = gethostbyname2( name, AF_INET6 );
and if that fails, the IPv4 conversion above.
For a gethostbyname2 emulator that behave like Socket6, see:
Net::DNS::Dig
o $trueif = havegethostbyname2();
This function returns TRUE if Socket6 has a functioning
gethostbyname2, otherwise it returns FALSE. See the comments above
about the behavior of naip_gethostbyname.
o NetAddr::IP::Util::lower();
Return IPv6 strings in lowercase.
o NetAddr::IP::Util::upper();
Return IPv6 strings in uppercase. This is the default.
