NAME
ipsec subnetof - given Internet address and subnet mask, return subnet number
ipsec hostof - given Internet address and subnet mask, return host part
ipsec broadcastof - given Internet address and subnet mask, return broadcast address
SYNOPSIS
#include <freeswan.h>
struct in_addr subnetof(struct in_addr addr,
struct in_addr mask);
struct in_addr hostof(struct in_addr addr,
struct in_addr mask);
struct in_addr broadcastof(struct in_addr addr,
struct in_addr mask);
DESCRIPTION
These functions are obsolete; see
ipsec_networkof(3)
for their replacements.
Subnetof
takes an Internet
address
and a subnet
mask
and returns the network part of the address
(all in network byte order).
Hostof
similarly returns the host part, and
broadcastof
returns the broadcast address (all-1s convention) for the network.
These functions are provided to hide the Internet bit-munging inside
an API, in hopes of easing the eventual transition to IPv6.

BUGS
Calling functions for this is more costly than doing it yourself.
