SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The contigmask() function converts the specified mask (which should be in network byte order) to CIDR notation, if possible.

RETURN VALUE

The contigmask() function returns a CIDR mask (0-31) if successful or 255 if the mask could not be converted to CIDR notation.

None of the libabz routines are thread-safe. I'm not planning to change this either! For more information, please see http://threading.2038bug.com/
