NAME

Net::Silk::Range - SiLK IP and proto/port range class

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Silk::Range;

my $r = Net::Silk::Range->new('1.1.1.1' => '1.255.255.255');
# or could have used "1.1.1.1-1.255.255.255"

$r->contains("1.1.1.2"); # true

print "$r\n";                               # 1.1.1.1-1.255.255.255
print join(' ', $r->first, $r->last), "\n"; # 1.1.1.1 1.255.255.255
print join(' ', @$r, "\n";                  # 1.1.1.1 1.255.255.255

my $size = $r->cardinality; # 16711423

use Net::Silk::IPSet;
my $s = Net::Silk::IPSet->load("my.set");
my $iter = $s->iter_ranges;
while (my $r = $iter->()) {
  ... # $r is a Net::Silk::Range
}

use Net::Silk::Pmap;
my $s = Net::Silk::Pmap->load("my.pmap");
my $iter = $s->iter_ranges;
while (my($k, $v) = each %$s) {
  ... # $k is a Net::Silk::Range
}

DESCRIPTION

Net::Silk::Range is a lightweight wrapper around an IP block specified by a first and last value. It is returned by iterators in Net::Silk::IPSet, Net::Silk::Pmap, and Net::Silk::IPWildcard.

METHODS

new($first, $last)

new([$first, $last])

new($string)

Returns a new Net::Silk::Range object represented by the given low and high values. The two values can be provided either as separate arguments, an array ref, or a string representation. The values are Net::Silk::IPAddr or Net::Silk::ProtoPort objects or their string representations.

first()

Return the first value in the range. This can alternately be accessed via $r->[0].

last()

Return the last value in the range. This can alternately be accessed via $r->[1].

carinality()

Return the number of elements in this range.

contains($item)

Return whether or not the given item is contained in this range.

as_cidr()

Returns an array or array ref (depending on context) of Net::Silk::CIDR blocks are covered by this range.

as_str()

Return a string in the form of "first-last". This method gets invoked automatically when the range is used in string context.

iter()

Return a sub ref that iterates over all elements of this range. Treating the range like a filehandle <$r> yields the same results.

OVERLOADED OPERATORS

The following operators are overloaded:

<>     ""
eq     ==
ne     !=
cmp    <=>
