netaddr¶ ↑
A Ruby library for performing calculations on IPv4 and IPv6 subnets. There is also limited support for EUI addresses.
Version 1.x¶ ↑
The original netaddr which I created in 2007. My use case then was creating an internal IPAM system for Rackspace.
Version 2.x¶ ↑
A complete rewrite and totally incompatible with 1.x. My main motivation now is to reduce bug reports resulting from the poor code quality of 1.x.
Building¶ ↑
To run unit tests, execute the following from the top level directory
ruby test/run_all.rb
To build the gem, execute the following from the top level directory
gem build netaddr.gemspec
Examples¶ ↑
Example code may be found in test/example.rb. This example code runs as part of the unit tests.
Coding Style¶ ↑
I use the following conventions: * I use tabs for indention since tabs make it really easy to adjust indention widths on the fly. * I do not follow rigid limits on line lengths. My editor auto-wraps so I add a line break where it feels appropriate. * I’m not a fan of obfuscation. I prefer clear code over fancy code.
