netutil.net32

function

Library: Network utilities (OMNETUTIL)
Import : omnetutl.xmd

Declaration
netutil.net32


Purpose

Use netutil.net32 to match a single 32-bit network-ordered number in a stream of bytes or octets.

Example

The following program reads and outputs a sequence of network-ordered numbers from a file. (The file is created in the example program for netutil.to-net32.)

  import "omnetutil.xmd" prefixed by netutil.
  
  process
     repeat scan binary-mode file "net32.dat"
        match netutil.net32 => num
           output "d" % netutil.from-net32 num || "%n"
     again

Because the file stores the binary numbers in network order, it can be read on any platform with the same results.
