DESCRIPTION

NetAddr::IP::UtilPP provides pure Perl functions for NetAddr::IP::Util

* $rv = hasbits($bits128);

This function returns true if there are one's present in the 128 bit string and false if all the bits are zero.

  i.e.	if (hasbits($bits128)) {
	  &do_something;
	}

  or	if (hasbits($bits128 & $mask128) {
	  &do_something;
	}

This allows the implementation of logical functions of the form of:

	if ($bits128 & $mask128) {
	    ...

  input:	128 bit IPv6 string
  returns:	true if any bits are present
* $rv = isIPv4($bits128);

This function returns true if there are no on bits present in the IPv6 portion of the 128 bit string and false otherwise.

* $bitsXn = shiftleft($bits128,$n);
  input:	128 bit string variable,
		number of shifts [optional]
  returns:	bits X n shifts

  NOTE: input bits are returned
	if $n is not specified
* addconst($ipv6naddr,$signed_32con);

Add a signed constant to a 128 bit string variable.

  input:	128 bit IPv6 string,
		signed 32 bit integer
  returns:  scalar	carry
	    array	(carry, result)
* add128($ipv6naddr1,$ipv6naddr2);

Add two 128 bit string variables.

  input:	128 bit string var1,
		128 bit string var2
  returns:  scalar	carry
	    array	(carry, result)
* sub128($ipv6naddr1,$ipv6naddr2);

Subtract two 128 bit string variables.

  input:	128 bit string var1,
		128 bit string var2
  returns:  scalar	carry
	    array	(carry, result)
    

Note: The carry from this operation is the result of adding the one's complement of ARG2 +1 to the ARG1. It is logically NOT borrow.

	i.e. 	if ARG1 >= ARG2 then carry = 1
	or	if ARG1  < ARG2 then carry = 0
* ($cidr,$spurious) = notcontiguous($mask128);

This function counts the bit positions remaining in the mask when the rightmost '0's are removed.

	input:  128 bit netmask
	returns true if there are spurious
		    zero bits remaining in the
		    mask, false if the mask is
		    contiguous one's,
		128 bit cidr
* $ipv6naddr = ipv4to6($netaddr);

Convert an ipv4 network address into an ipv6 network address.

  input:	32 bit network address
  returns:	128 bit network address
* $ipv6naddr = mask4to6($netaddr);

Convert an ipv4 netowrk address into an ipv6 network mask.

  input:	32 bit network/mask address
  returns:	128 bit network/mask address

NOTE: returns the high 96 bits as one's

* $ipv6naddr = ipanyto6($netaddr);

Similar to ipv4to6 except that this function takes either an IPv4 or IPv6 input and always returns a 128 bit IPv6 network address.

  input:	32 or 128 bit network address
  returns:	128 bit network address
* $ipv6naddr = maskanyto6($netaddr);

Similar to mask4to6 except that this function takes either an IPv4 or IPv6 netmask and always returns a 128 bit IPv6 netmask.

  input:	32 or 128 bit network mask
  returns:	128 bit network mask
* $netaddr = ipv6to4($pv6naddr);

Truncate the upper 96 bits of a 128 bit address and return the lower 32 bits. Returns an IPv4 address as returned by inet_aton.

  input:	128 bit network address
  returns:	32 bit inet_aton network address
* $bcdtext = bin2bcd($bits128);

Convert a 128 bit binary string into binary coded decimal text digits.

  input:	128 bit string variable
  returns:	string of bcd text digits
* $bits128 = bcd2bin($bcdtxt);

Convert a bcd text string to 128 bit string variable

  input:	string of bcd text digits
  returns:	128 bit string variable
