=head1 NAME

NetAddr::IP - Manages IPv4 addresses and subnets

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use NetAddr::IP;

  my $ip = new NetAddr::IP 'loopback';

  print "The address is ", $ip->addr, " with mask ", $ip->mask, "\n" ;

  if ($ip->within(new NetAddr::IP "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")) {
      print "Is a loopback address\n";
  }

				# This prints 127.0.0.1/32
  print "You can also say $ip...\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object-oriented abstraction on top of IP
addresses or IP subnets, that allows for easy manipulations. Many
operations are supported, as described below:

=head2 Overloaded Operators

Many operators have been overloaded, as described below:

=item B<Assignment (C<=>)>

Has been optimized to copy one NetAddr::IP object to another very quickly.

=item B<Stringification>

An object can be used just as a string. For instance, the following code

	my $ip = new NetAddr::IP 'loopback';
        print "$ip\n";

Will print the string 127.0.0.1/8.

=item B<Equality>

You can test for equality with either C<eq> or C<==>. C<eq> allows the
comparison with arbitrary strings as well as NetAddr::IP objects. The
following example:

    if (NetAddr::IP->new('loopback') eq '127.0.0.1/8') 
       { print "Yes\n"; }

Will print out "Yes".

Comparison with C<==> requires both operands to be NetAddr::IP objects.

In both cases, a true value is returned if the CIDR representation of
the operands is equal.

=item B<Comparison via E<gt>, E<lt>, E<gt>=, E<lt>=, E<lt>=E<gt> and C<cmp>>

Those are numeric comparisons. All will return undef if you attempt to
compare a V4 subnet with a V6 subnet, when V6 becomes supported some
day.

In case the version matches, the numeric representation of the network
is compared through the corresponding operation. The netmask is
ignored for these comparisons, as there is no standard criteria to say
wether 10/8 is larger than 10/10 or not.

=item B<Dereferencing as an ARRAY>

You can do something along the lines of

	my $net = new NetAddr::IP $cidr_spec;
        for my $ip (@$net) {
	  print "Host $ip is in $net\n";
	}

However, note that this might generate a very large amount of items in
the list. You must be careful when doing this kind of expansion, as it
is very easy to consume huge amounts of resources. See below for
smarter ways to do loops and other constructions that are much more
conservative.

=item B<Addition of a constant>

Adding a constant to a NetAddr::IP object changes its address part to
point to the one so many hosts above the start address. For instance,
this code:

    print NetAddr::IP->new('loopback') + 5;

will output 127.0.0.6/8. The address will wrap around at the broadcast
back to the network address. This code:

    print NetAddr::IP->new('10.0.0.1/24') + 255;

outputs 10.0.0.0/24.

=cut

sub plus {
    my $ip	= shift;
    my $const	= shift;

    return $ip unless $const;

    my $a = $ip->{addr};
    my $m = $ip->{mask};
    my $b = $ip->{bits};

    my $hp = "$a" & ~"$m";
    my $np = "$a" & "$m";

    vec($hp, 0, $b) += $const;

    return _fnew NetAddr::IP [ "$np" | ("$hp" & ~"$m"), $m, $b];
}

=item B<Substraction of a constant>

The complement of the addition of a constant.

=cut

sub minus {
    my $ip	= shift;
    my $const	= shift;

    return plus($ip, -$const, @_);
}

				# Auto-increment an object
=pod

=item B<Auto-increment>

Auto-incrementing a NetAddr::IP object causes the address part to be
adjusted to the next host address within the subnet. It will wrap at
the broadcast address and start again from the network address.

=cut

sub plusplus {
    my $ip	= shift;

    my $a = $ip->{addr};
    my $m = $ip->{mask};

    my $hp = "$a" & ~"$m";
    my $np = "$a" & "$m";

    vec($hp, 0, 32) ++;

    $ip->{addr} = "$np" | ("$hp" & ~"$m");
    return $ip;
}

=item B<Auto-decrement>

Auto-decrementing a NetAddr::IP object performs exactly the opposite
of auto-incrementing it, as you would expect.

=cut

sub minusminus {
    my $ip	= shift;

    my $a = $ip->{addr};
    my $m = $ip->{mask};

    my $hp = "$a" & ~"$m";
    my $np = "$a" & "$m";

    vec($hp, 0, 32) --;

    $ip->{addr} = "$np" | ("$hp" & ~"$m");
    return $ip;
}

=head2 Methods

=over

=item C<-E<gt>new([$addr, [ $mask ]])>

This method creates a new IPv4 address with the supplied address in
C<$addr> and an optional netmask C<$mask>, which can be omitted to get
a /32 mask.

C<$addr> can be almost anything that can be resolved to an IP address
in all the notations I have seen over time. It can optionally contain
the mask in CIDR notation.

B<prefix> notation is understood, with the limitation that the range
speficied by the prefix must match with a valid subnet.

Addresses in the same format returned by C<inet_aton> or
C<gethostbyname> are also understood, although no mask can be
specified for them.

If called with no arguments, 'default' is assumed.

=item C<-E<gt>addr()>

Returns a scalar with the address part of the object as a
dotted-quad. This is useful for printing or for passing the address
part of the NetAddr::IP object to other components that expect an IP
address.

=cut

sub addr ($) {
    my $self	= shift;
    _to_quad $self->{addr};
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>mask()>

Returns a scalar with the mask as a dotted-quad.

=cut

sub mask ($) {
    my $self	= shift;
    _to_quad $self->{mask};
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>masklen()>

Returns a scalar the number of one bits in the mask.

=cut

sub masklen ($) {
    my $self	= shift;
    my $bits	= 0;

    for (my $i = 0;
	 $i < $self->{bits};
	 $i ++) 
    {
	$bits += vec($self->{mask}, $i, 1);
    }

    return $bits;
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>cidr()>

Returns a scalar with the address and mask in CIDR notation. A
NetAddr::IP object I<stringifies> to the result of this function.

=cut

sub cidr ($) {
    my $self	= shift;
    return $self->addr . '/' . $self->masklen;
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>aton()>

Returns the address part of the NetAddr::IP object in the same format
as the C<inet_aton()> function. This should ease a bit the code
required to deal with "old-style" sockets.

=cut

sub aton {
    my $self = shift;
    return pack "c4", split /\./, $self->addr;
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>range()>

Returns a scalar with the base address and the broadcast address
separated by a dash and spaces. This is called range notation.

=cut

sub range ($) {
    my $self = shift;
    my $mask = $self->masklen;

    return undef if $self->{bits} > 32;
    return $self->network->addr . ' - ' . $self->broadcast->addr;
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>prefix()>

Returns a scalar with the address and mask in prefix
representation. This is useful for some programs, which expect its
input to be in this format. This method will include the broadcast
address in the encoding.

=cut

sub prefix ($) {
    my $self = shift;
    my $mask = $self->masklen;

    return undef if $self->{bits} > 32;
    return $self->addr if $mask == 32;

    my @laddr = split (/\./, $self->broadcast->addr);

    return do_prefix $mask, \@faddr, \@laddr;
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>nprefix()>

Just as C<-E<gt>prefix()>, but does not include the broadcast address.

=cut

sub nprefix ($) {
    my $self = shift;
    my $mask = $self->masklen;

    return undef if $self->{bits} > 32;
    return $self->addr if $mask == 32;

    my @laddr = split (/\./, $self->last->addr);

    return do_prefix $mask, \@faddr, \@laddr;
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>numeric()>

When called in a scalar context, will return a numeric representation
of the address part of the IP address. When called in an array
contest, it returns a list of two elements. The first element is as
described, the second element is the numeric representation of the
netmask.

This method is essential for serializing the representation of a
subnet.

=cut

sub numeric ($) {
    my $self	= shift;
    return 
	wantarray() ? ( vec($self->{addr}, 0, 32), 
			vec($self->{mask}, 0, 32) ) :
			    vec($self->{addr}, 0, 32);
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>wildcard()>

When called in a scalar context, returns the wildcard bits
corresponding to the mask, in dotted-quad format.

When called in an array context, returns a two-element array. The
first element, is the address part. The second element, is the
wildcard translation of the mask.

=cut

sub wildcard ($) {
    my $self	= shift;
    return wantarray() ? ($self->addr, _to_quad ~$self->{mask}) :
	_to_quad ~$self->{mask};
			      
}

=pod

=item C<$me-E<gt>contains($other)>

Returns true when C<$me> completely contains C<$other>. False is
returned otherwise and C<undef> is returned if C<$me> and C<$other>
are of different versions.

=cut

sub contains ($$) {
    my $a	= shift;
    my $b	= shift;

    my $bits	= $a->{bits};

    return 0
	unless ($mask = vec($a->{mask}, 0, $bits))
	    <= vec($b->{mask}, 0, $bits);

				# A default address always contains
    return 1 if ($mask == 0x0);

	 == (vec($b->{addr}, 0, $bits) & $mask));
}

=pod

=item C<$me-E<gt>within($other)>

The complement of C<-E<gt>contains()>. Returns true when C<$me> is
completely con tained within C<$other>.

=cut

sub within ($$) {
    return contains($_[1], $_[0]);
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>split($bits)>

Returns a list of objects, representing subnets of C<$bits> mask
produced by splitting the original object, which is left
unchanged. Note that C<$bits> must be longer than the original
mask in order for it to be splittable.

Note that C<$bits> can be given as an integer (the length of the mask)
or as a dotted-quad. If omitted, a host mask is assumed.

=cut

sub split ($;$) {
    return @{$_[0]->splitref($_[1])};
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>splitref($bits)>

A (faster) version of C<-E<gt>split()> that returns a reference to a
list of objects instead of a real list. This is useful when large
numbers of objects are expected.

=cut

sub splitref ($;$) {
    my $self	= shift;
    my $mask	= _parse_mask shift || $self->{bits}, $self->{bits};

    my $bits	= $self->{bits};

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>hostenum()>

Returns the list of hosts within a subnet.

=cut

sub hostenum ($) {
    return @{$_[0]->hostenumref};
}

=pod

=item C<-E<gt>hostenumref()>

Faster version of C<-E<gt>hostenum()>, returning a reference to a list.

    }
    return $r;
}

=pod

=item C<$me-E<gt>compact($addr1, $addr2, ...)>

Given a list of objects (including C<$me>), this method will compact
all the addresses and subnets into the largest (ie, least specific) 
subnets possible that contain exactly all of the given objects.

Note that in versions prior to 3.02, if fed with the same IP subnets 
multiple times, these subnets would be returned. From 3.02 on, a more
"correct" approach has been adopted and only one address would be
returned.

=cut

sub compact {
    return @{compactref(\@_)};
}

=pod

=item C<$me-E<gt>compactref(\@list)>

As usual, a faster version of =item C<-E<gt>compact()> that returns a
reference to a list. Note that this method takes a reference to a list
instead.

=cut

sub compactref ($) {
    my @addr = sort

=item *

Slight change  in license terms to ease  redistribution as a
Debian package.

=back


=item 3.00

This is  a major rewrite, supposed  to fix a number  of issues pointed
out in earlier versions.

The goals for this version include getting rid of BigInts, speeding up
and also  cleaning up the code,  which is written in  a modular enough
way so  as to allow IPv6  functionality in the  future, taking benefit
from most of the methods.

Note that no effort has  been made to remain backwards compatible with
earlier versions. In particular, certain semantics of the earlier
versions have been removed in favor of faster performance.

This  version  was tested  under  Win98/2K (ActiveState  5.6.0/5.6.1),
HP-UX11 on PA-RISC (5.6.0), RedHat  Linux 6.2 (5.6.0), Digital Unix on
Alpha (5.6.0), Solaris on Sparc (5.6.0) and possibly others.

=item 3.01

=item * 

Added C<-E<gt>numeric()>.

=item *

C<-E<gt>new()> called with no parameters creates a B<default>
NetAddr::IP object.

=back

=item 3.02

=over

=item *

Fxed C<-E<gt>compact()> for cases of equal subnets or
mutually-contained IP addresses as pointed out by Peter Wirdemo. Note
that now only distinct IP addresses will be returned by this method.

=item *

Fixed the docs as suggested by Thomas Linden.

=item *

Introduced overloading to ease certain common operations.

=item *

    Fixed compatibility issue with C<-E<gt>num()> on 64-bit processors.

=back

=item 3.03

=over

=item *

Added more comparison operators.

=item *

As per Peter Wirdemo's suggestion, added C<-E<gt>wildcard()> for
producing subnets in wildcard format.

=item *

Added C<++> and C<+> to provide for efficient iteration operations
over all the hosts of a subnet without C<-E<gt>expand()>ing it.

=back

=item 3.04

=over

=item *

Got rid of C<croak()> when invalid input was fed to C<-E<gt>new()>.

=item *

Fixed typo that invalidated otherwise correct masks. This bug appeared in 3.08.

=item 3.11

=over

=item *

Thanks to David D. Zuhn for contributing the C<-E<gt>nth()> method.

=item *

tutorial.htm now included in the  distribution. I hope this helps some
people to better  understand what kind of stuff can  be done with this
module.

=item *

C<'any'> can be used as a synonim of C<'default'>. Also, C<'host'> is
now a valid (/32) netmask.

=item *

Added CVS control files, though this is of no relevance to the community.

=item *

Thanks to Steve Snodgrass for pointing out a bug in the processing of
the special names such as default, any, etc. A fix was produced and
adequate tests were added to the code.

=item *

First steps towards "regexp free" parsing.

=item *

Documentation revisited and reorganized within the file, so that it
helps document the code.
