Inet_aton / inet_ntoa

Hi guys,

i have a big problem with ruby + inet_aton.
Since IPAddr has the to_i function it can convert IPAddrs to integers
(inet_aton). But i didn’t find any function that reverses this
(inet_ntoa)… And without such a function, i can’t work =)

Any ideas?

thanks!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

maybe this will work

 harp:~ > cat a.rb
 def inet_aton ip
   ip.split(/\./).map{|c| c.to_i}.pack("C*").unpack("N").first
 end
 def inet_ntoa n
   [n].pack("N").unpack("C*").join "."
 end


 ip = "255.127.63.31"
 n = inet_aton ip

 puts n
 puts n.to_s(2)

 a = inet_ntoa n
 puts a

 puts(inet_ntoa(inet_aton(ip)))


 harp:~ > ruby a.rb
 4286529311
 11111111011111110011111100011111
 255.127.63.31
 255.127.63.31

i can’t remember if that’s exactly how those work - but i thinks that’s
right.

hth.

-a

Thanks to both of you! :slight_smile:

Additionally you can do:

IPAddr.new_ntoh([ 3232246293 ].pack(“N”))
=> #<IPAddr: IPv4:192.168.42.21/255.255.255.255>

IPAddr::new_ntoh creates a new ipaddr containing the given network byte
ordered string form of an IP address.

require “ipaddr”

IPAddr.new(“192.168.42.21”).to_i
=> 3232246293
IPAddr.new(3232246293, Socket::AF_INET).to_s
=> “192.168.42.21”

Same works for Socket::AF_INET6.

Additionally you can do:

IPAddr.new_ntoh([ 3232246293 ].pack(“N”))
=> #<IPAddr: IPv4:192.168.42.21/255.255.255.255>

IPAddr::new_ntoh creates a new ipaddr containing the given network byte
ordered string form of an IP address.
