+
+
+
+
+
+
+<h3>Usage:</h3>

+
+
+Derive netmask of CIDR instance.
+
+Constructs a CIDR instance representing the netmask of this instance. The used
+prefix size can be overridden by the optional mask parameter.
+
+
+
+<h3>Parameters</h3>
+<ul>
+
+ <li>
+ mask: Either a number containing the number of bits (<code>0..32</code>
+ for IPv4, <code>0..128</code> for IPv6) or a string containing a valid

+<dd>
+
+
+Derive broadcast address of CIDR instance.
+
+Constructs a CIDR instance representing the broadcast address of this instance.
+The used prefix size can be overridden by the optional mask parameter.
