.SS "ost::IPV4Host::IPV4Host (const char * host = \fCNULL\fP)"

.PP
Create a new host address for a specific internet host\&. The internet host can be specified in a null terminated ASCII string and include either the physical host address or the DNS name of a host machine\&. Hence, an \fBIPV4Host\fP ('www\&.voxilla\&.org') can be directly declaired in this manner\&.
.PP
Defaults to the IP address that represents the interface matching 'gethostname()'\&.

\fBParameters\fP
.RS 4
\fIhost\fP dns or physical address of an Internet host\&.

.PP
Mask the internet host address object with a network mask address\&. This is commonly used to coerce an address by subnet\&.
