Sameaddr returns non-zero if addresses a and b are identical, and 0 otherwise. Addresses of different families are never identical.
Addrcmp returns -1, 0, or 1 respectively if address a is less than, equal to, or greater than b. If they are not of the same address family, they are never equal; the ordering reported in this case is arbitrary (and probably not useful) but consistent.
Samesubnet returns non-zero if subnets a and b are identical, and 0 otherwise. Subnets of different address families are never identical.
Addrinsubnet returns non-zero if address a is within subnet s and 0 otherwise. An address is never within a subnet of a different address family.
Subnetinsubnet returns non-zero if subnet a is a subset of subnet b and 0 otherwise. A subnet is deemed to be a subset of itself. A subnet is never a subset of another subnet if their address families differ.
Subnetishost returns non-zero if subnet s is in fact only a single host, and 0 otherwise.
Samesaid returns non-zero if SA IDs a and b are identical, and 0 otherwise.
Sameaddrtype returns non-zero if addresses a and b are of the same address family, and 0 otherwise.
Samesubnettype returns non-zero if subnets a and b are of the same address family, and 0 otherwise.
