+
+
+Construct a new MAC luci.ip.cidr instance.
+Throws an error if the given string does not represent a valid ethernet MAC
+address or if the given optional mask is of a different family.
+
+
+<h3>Parameters</h3>
+<ul>
+
+ <li>
+ address: String containing a valid ethernet MAC address, optionally with
+prefix size (CIDR notation) or mask separated by slash.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ netmask: String containing a valid MAC address mask or number
+containing a prefix size between <code>0</code> and <code>48</code> bit.
+Overrides mask embedded in the first argument if specified. (optional)
+ </li>
+
+</ul>
+
+
+
+
+<h3>Usage:</h3>
+<pre>intel_macs = luci.ip.MAC("C0:B6:F9:00:00:00/24")
+intel_macs = luci.ip.MAC("C0:B6:F9:00:00:00/FF:FF:FF:0:0:0")
+intel_macs = luci.ip.MAC("C0:B6:F9:00:00:00", "FF:FF:FF:0:0:0")
+intel_macs = luci.ip.MAC("C0:B6:F9:00:00:00/24", 48) -- override mask</pre>
+
+
+
+<h3>Return value:</h3>
+A <code>luci.ip.cidr</code> object representing the given MAC address range.

+Verify an IPv4 address.
+
+Checks whether given argument is a preexisting luci.ip.cidr IPv4 address
+instance or a string literal convertible to an IPv4 address and returns a
+plain Lua string containing the canonical representation of the address.
+
+If the argument is not a valid address, returns nothing. This function is
+intended to aid in safely verifying address literals without having to deal
+with exceptions.
