public class NodeAddress

extends java.lang.Object

Routines for manipulating node addresses. A node address is simply a 32 bit integer for efficiency, but these convenience routines exist to convert to and from printed representations and so on.

This is just here (in ANTS) for compatiblity. All the functions are in the Janos Java NodeOS.

Method Detail

multicast

public static final boolean multicast(int a)

Determine if the given integer address is a multicast address.

toString

Generate a string representation of the given address. Generates standard dotted-quad notation.

fromString

public static int fromString(java.lang.String name)
                      throws edu.utah.janos.nodeos.AddressFormatException

Generate a 32-bit integer from the given string address. The string must be a dotted-quad.

Throws:

edu.utah.janos.nodeos.AddressFormatException - if there aren't 4 parts, any of the 4 parts don't parse, or are out of range.
