36.Sh NAME
37.Nm inet_makeaddr ,
38.Nm inet_netof ,
39.Nm inet_lnaof
40.Nd routines for manipulating classful Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.In arpa/inet.h
43.Ft struct in_addr
44.Fn inet_makeaddr "in_addr_t net" "in_addr_t lna"
45.Ft in_addr_t
46.Fn inet_netof "struct in_addr in"
47.Ft in_addr_t
48.Fn inet_lnaof "struct in_addr in"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50As originally designed,
51IP version 4 split each address into a network part and local network
52address part, encoding that split into the address itself.
53It is frequency-encoded;
54the most-significant bit is clear in Class A addresses,
55in which the high-order 8 bits are the network number.
56Class B addresses use the high-order 16 bits as the network field,
57and Class C addresses have a 24-bit network part.
58.Pp
59The routine
60.Fn inet_makeaddr
61takes an Internet network number and a local
62network address and constructs an Internet address
63from it.
64.Pp
65The routines
66.Fn inet_netof
67and
68.Fn inet_lnaof
69break apart Internet host addresses, returning
70the network number and local network address part,
71respectively.
72.Pp
73All Internet addresses are returned in network
74order (bytes ordered from left to right).
75All network numbers and local address parts are
76returned as machine format integer values.
