Operators for IP addresses

Description

ip_address vectors support the following operators:

• bitwise logic operators: ! (NOT), & (AND), | (OR), ^ (XOR)

• bitwise shift operators: ⁠%<<%⁠ (left shift), ⁠%>>%⁠ (right shift)

• arithmetic operators: + (addition), - (subtraction)

Examples

# use ip_to_binary() to understand these examples better

# bitwise NOT
!ip_address("192.168.0.1")

# bitwise AND
ip_address("192.168.0.1") & ip_address("255.0.0.255")

# bitwise OR
ip_address("192.168.0.0") | ip_address("255.0.0.255")

# bitwise XOR
ip_address("192.168.0.0") ^ ip_address("255.0.0.255")

# bitwise shift left
ip_address("192.168.0.1") %<<% 1

# bitwise shift right
ip_address("192.168.0.1") %>>% 1

# addition of integers
ip_address("192.168.0.1") + 10

# subtraction of integers
ip_address("192.168.0.1") - 10
