+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B <freeswan.h>
+library uses an internal type
+.I ip_subnet
+to contain a description of an IP subnet
+(base address plus mask).
+These functions provide basic tools for creating and examining this type.
+.PP
+.I Initsubnet
+initializes a variable
+.I *dst
+of type
+.I ip_subnet
+from a base address and
+a count of mask bits.
+The
+.I clash
+parameter specifies what to do if the base address includes
+.B 1
+bits outside the prefix specified by the mask
+(that is, in the ``host number'' part of the address):
+.RS
+.IP '0' 5
+zero out host-number bits
+.IP 'x'
+non-zero host-number bits are an error
+.RE
+.PP
+.I Initsubnet
+returns
+.B NULL
+for success and
+a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure;
+see DIAGNOSTICS.
+.PP
+.I Addrtosubnet
+initializes an
+.I ip_subnet
+variable
+.I *dst
+to a ``singleton subnet'' containing the single address
+.IR *addr .
+It returns
+.B NULL
+for success and
+a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure.
+.PP
+.I Subnettypeof
+returns the address type of a subnet,
+normally
+.B AF_INET
+or
+.BR AF_INET6 .
+(The
+.B <freeswan.h>
+header file arranges to include the necessary headers for these
+names to be known.)
+.PP
+.I Masktocount
+converts a subnet mask, expressed as an address, to a bit count
+suitable for use with
+.IR initsubnet .
+It returns
+.B \-1
+for error; see DIAGNOSTICS.
+.PP
+.I Networkof
+fills in
+.I *dst
+with the base address of subnet
+.IR src .
+.PP
+.I Maskof
+fills in
+.I *dst
+with the subnet mask of subnet
+.IR src ,
+expressed as an address.

+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+Fatal errors in
+.I initsubnet
+are:
+unknown address family;
+unknown
+.I clash
+value;
+impossible mask bit count;
+non-zero host-number bits and
+.I clash
+is
+.BR 'x' .
+Fatal errors in
+.I addrtosubnet
+are:
+unknown address family.
+Fatal errors in
+.I masktocount
+are:
+unknown address family;
+mask bits not contiguous.
