Function Documentation

bool ola::network::DefaultRoute	(	int32_t *	if_index,
		ola::network::IPV4Address *	default_gateway
	)

Get the default route.

Parameters

[out]	if_index	a pointer to an int32 which is updated with the interface to use for the default route.
[out]	default_gateway	a pointer to an IPV4Address which is updated with the default gateway.

Returns: true if a default route was found, false if there was an error fetching the routing table.

Note: if the routing table was read correctly but there was no default route, if_index will be ola::network::Interface::DEFAULT_INDEX and default_gateway will be the wildcard address. The latter can be tested for with default_gateway.IsWildcard().

std::string ola::network::DomainName ( )

Return the machine's domain name as a string.

std::string ola::network::DomainNameFromFQDN ( const std::string & fqdn )

Convert a FQDN to a domain

Parameters

fqdn	a fully qualified domain name

Returns: the domain part of the FQDN

std::string ola::network::FQDN ( )

Return the machine's fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

std::string ola::network::FullHostname ( )

Return the machine's full hostname (FQDN)

Deprecated:: use ola::network::FQDN() instead (17 Nov 2013)

GenericSocketAddress ola::network::GetLocalAddress ( int sd )

Wrapper around getsockname(). The caller should check IsValid() on the GenericSocketAddress before using.

GenericSocketAddress ola::network::GetPeerAddress ( int sd )

Wrapper around getpeername(). The caller should check IsValid() on the GenericSocketAddress before using.

std::string ola::network::Hostname ( )

Return the machine's hostname

std::string ola::network::HostnameFromFQDN ( const std::string & fqdn )

Convert a FQDN to a hostname

Parameters

fqdn	a fully qualified domain name

Returns: the hostname part of the FQDN

uint16_t ola::network::HostToNetwork ( uint16_t value )

Convert a uint16_t from host to network byte order

uint32_t ola::network::HostToNetwork ( uint32_t value )

Convert a uint32_t from host to network byte order

bool ola::network::IsBigEndian ( )

Returns: true if we're big endian, false otherwise.

bool ola::network::NameServers ( std::vector< ola::network::IPV4Address > * name_servers )

Get a vector of name server IP addresses.

Parameters

[out] name_servers a pointer to a vector of name servers to populate

Returns: true on success, false otherwise

uint16_t ola::network::NetworkToHost ( uint16_t value )

Convert a uint16_t from network to host byte order

uint32_t ola::network::NetworkToHost ( uint32_t value )

Convert a uint32_t from network to host byte order

int16_t ola::network::NetworkToHost ( int16_t value )

Convert a uint16_t from network to host byte order

unsigned int ola::network::SockAddrLen ( const struct sockaddr & sa )

Return the length of a sockaddr

bool ola::network::StringToEther	(	const string &	address,
		ether_addr *	target
	)

Convert a string to a ether_addr struct

Parameters

address	a string in the form 'nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn' or 'nn.nn.nn.nn.nn.nn'
target	a pointer to a ether_addr struct

Returns: true if it worked, false otherwise

ether_aton_r doesn't exist on Mac, so can't use it (it also might not handle dots as well as colons as seperators)
