}
syntax: ok, err = iputils.enable_lrucache(size?)
Creates a global lrucache object for caching ip2bin lookups.
Size is optional and defaults to 4000 entries (~1MB per worker)
Calling this repeatedly will reset the cache
syntax: bin_ip, bin_octets = iputils.ip2bin(ip)
Returns the binary representation of an IPv4 address and a table containing the binary representation of each octet
Returns nil
and and error message for bad IPs
syntax: lower, upper = iputils.parse_cidr(cidr)
Returns a binary representation of the lowest (network) and highest (broadcast) addresses of an IPv4 network.
syntax: parsed = iputils.parse_cidrs(cidrs)
Takes a table of CIDR format IPV4 networks and returns a table of tables containg the lower and upper addresses.
If an invalid network is in the table an error is logged and the other networks are returned
syntax: bool, err = iputils.ip_in_cidrs(ip, cidrs)
Takes a string IPv4 address and a table of parsed CIDRs (e.g. from iputils.parse_cidrs
).
Returns a true
or false
if the IP exists within any of the specified networks.
Returns nil
and an error message with an invalid IP
syntax: bool, err = iputils.binip_in_cidrs(bin_ip, cidrs)
Takes a nginx binary IPv4 address (e.g. ngx.var.binary_remote_addr
) and a table of parsed CIDRs (e.g. from iputils.parse_cidrs
).
This method is much faster than ip_in_cidrs()
if the IP being checked is already available as a binary representation.
Returns a true
or false
if the IP exists within any of the specified networks.
Returns nil
and an error message with an invalid IP
