Detailed Description

Represents an IPv6 address (of type xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx). An instance of this class can be constructed from string, 16-byte array or from the in6_addr struct. It can be converted or copied to each of these types

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IPv6Address() [1/4]

pcpp::IPv6Address::IPv6Address

(

uint8_t *

addressAsUintArr

)

A constructor that creates an instance of the class out of a 16-Byte long byte array. Array size must be 16 bytes, otherwise instance will be invalid, meaning isValid() will return false

Parameters

addressAsUintArr

A 16-byte array containing address value

IPv6Address() [2/4]

pcpp::IPv6Address::IPv6Address

(

char *

addressAsString

)

A constructor that creates an instance of the class out of string (char*) value. If the string doesn't represent a valid IPv6 address, instance will be invalid, meaning isValid() will return false

Parameters

[in]

addressAsString

The string (char*) representation of the address

IPv6Address() [3/4]

pcpp::IPv6Address::IPv6Address

(

std::string

addressAsString

)

A constructor that creates an instance of the class out of string std::string value If the string doesn't represent a valid IPv6 address, instance will be invalid, meaning isValid() will return false

Parameters

[in]

addressAsString

The string std::string representation of the address

IPv6Address() [4/4]

pcpp::IPv6Address::IPv6Address

(

const IPv6Address &

other

)

A copy constructor for this class

Member Function Documentation

clone()

IPAddress* pcpp::IPv6Address::clone ( ) const

virtual

Clone the object

Returns

A newly allocated instance which is a clone of the current instance

Implements pcpp::IPAddress.

copyTo() [1/2]

void pcpp::IPv6Address::copyTo	(	uint8_t **	arr,
		size_t &	length
	)		const

Allocates a byte array and copies address value into it. Array deallocation is user responsibility

Parameters

[in]	arr	A pointer to where array will be allocated
[out]	length	Returns the length in bytes of the array that was allocated

copyTo() [2/2]

void pcpp::IPv6Address::copyTo

(

uint8_t *

arr

)

const

Gets a pointer to an already allocated byte array and copies the address value to it. This method assumes array allocated size is at least 16 (the size of an IPv6 address)

Parameters

[in]

arr

A pointer to the array which address will be copied to

getType()

AddressType pcpp::IPv6Address::getType ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns

IPv6AddressType

Implements pcpp::IPAddress.

operator!=()

bool pcpp::IPv6Address::operator!=

(

const IPv6Address &

other

)

const

Overload of the non-equal operator

Returns

true if 2 addresses are not equal. False otherwise

operator=()

IPv6Address& pcpp::IPv6Address::operator=

(

const IPv6Address &

other

)

Overload of the assignment operator

operator==()

bool pcpp::IPv6Address::operator==

(

const IPv6Address &

other

)

const

Overload of the comparison operator

Returns

true if 2 addresses are equal. False otherwise

toIn6Addr()

in6_addr* pcpp::IPv6Address::toIn6Addr ( ) const

inline

Returns a in6_addr struct pointer representing the IPv6 address

Returns

a in6_addr struct pointer representing the IPv6 address

Member Data Documentation

Zero

IPv6Address pcpp::IPv6Address::Zero

static

A static value representing a zero value of IPv6 address, meaning address of value "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0"
