Package-level declarations

Number with a byte layout and semantics optimized for CIDR/IP operations. The maximum number of addresses inside an IP address space is 2^32 for IPv4 and 2^128 for IPv6. Hence, 32/128-bit unsigned integers are not enough to represent the size of /0 networks, and an additional bit is needed. At the same time, the actual number of bytes used for addresses and netmasks is 4/16, which is why (by default) a CidrNumber's byte representation is truncated to 4/16 bytes to keep it efficient for CIDR operations.

logical AND operation returning a newly-allocated ByteArray.

In-place logical AND operation, modifying the receiver ByteArray. Returns the number of modified bits

Compares this ByteArray to other interpreted as an unsigned BE (network order)

IN-PLACE inversion

logical OR operation returning a newly-allocated ByteArray.

Logical left shift (zero-fill) of a big-endian ByteArray by bits.

Logical right shift (zero-fill) of a big-endian ByteArray by bits.

Converts the UInt value to its IPv4 address representation in the form of a 4-byte-long ByteArray. Each byte in the array corresponds to one octet of the IPv4 address, arranged in network byte order (big-endian).

Converts the UInt value to its IPv4 address representation in the form of a 4-byte-long ByteArray. Each byte in the array corresponds to one octet of the IPv4 address, arranged in network byte order (big-endian). Any values larger than UInt.MAX_VALUE will be truncated to four bytes

Creates a netmask from this prefix. The resulting number of octets depends on the specified family.

Creates a netmask from this prefix. Arbitrary octetCounts can be specified.

Converts a netmask into its CIDR prefix length. Validates that the mask's length and that it is contiguous (all 1-bits followed by 0-bits).

logical OR operation returning a newly-allocated ByteArray.
