Interface AddressComponent

    • Method Detail

      • getNetwork

        AddressNetwork<?> getNetwork()
        Returns the network object for components of the same version (eg IPv4, IPv6 and MAC each have their own network object)
        Returns:
      • toHexString

        java.lang.String toHexString​(boolean with0xPrefix)
                              throws IncompatibleAddressException
        Writes this address component as a single hexadecimal value with always the exact same number of characters, with or without a preceding 0x prefix.

        If this component represents a range of values outside of the network prefix length, then this is printed as a range of two hex values.

        For instance, for IPv4 addresses there are 8 hex characters, for IPv6 addresses there are 32 hex characters.

        Throws:
        IncompatibleAddressException
      • reverseBits

        AddressComponent reverseBits​(boolean perByte)
        Returns a new AddressComponent with the bits reversed. If this component represents a range of values that cannot be reversed, then this throws IncompatibleAddressException. In a range the most significant bits stay constant while the least significant bits range over different values, so reversing that scenario results in a series of non-consecutive values, in most cases, which cannot be represented with a single AddressComponent object.

        In such cases where isMultiple() is true, call iterator(), getLower(), getUpper() or some other methods to break the series down into a series representing a single value.

        Parameters:
        perByte - if true, only the bits in each byte are reversed, if false, then all bits in the component are reversed
        Returns:
        Throws:
        IncompatibleAddressException - when subnet addresses cannot be reversed
      • reverseBytes

        AddressComponent reverseBytes()
        Returns an AddressComponent with the bytes reversed. If this component represents a range of values that cannot be reversed, then this throws IncompatibleAddressException. In a range the most significant bits stay constant while the least significant bits range over different values, so reversing that scenario results in a series of non-consecutive values, in most cases, which cannot be represented with a single AddressComponent object.

        In such cases where isMultiple() is true, call iterator(), getLower(), getUpper() or some other methods to break the series down into a series representing a single value.

        Returns:
        Throws:
        IncompatibleAddressException - when subnet addresses cannot be reversed
