+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+These functions are obsolete;
+see
+<I><A HREF="ipsec_masktocount.3.html">ipsec_masktocount</A></I>(3)
+
+for a partial replacement.
+<P>
+
+<I>Goodmask</I>
+
+reports whether the subnet
+<I>mask</I>
+
+is a valid one,
+i.e. consists of a (possibly empty) sequence of
+<B>1</B>s
+
+followed by a (possibly empty) sequence of
+<B>0</B>s.
+
+<I>Masktobits</I>
+
+takes a (valid) subnet mask and returns the number of
+<B>1</B>
+
+bits in it.
+<I>Bitstomask</I>
+
+reverses this,
+returning the subnet mask corresponding to bit count
+<I>n</I>.
+
+<P>
+
+All masks are in network byte order.

+<H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2>
+
+<I>Masktobits</I>
+
+returns
+<B>-1</B>
+
+for an invalid mask.
+<I>Bitstomask</I>
+
+returns an all-zeros mask for a negative or out-of-range
+<I>n</I>.

+<H2>HISTORY</H2>
+
+Written for the FreeS/WAN project by Henry Spencer.
+<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
+<H2>BUGS</H2>
+
+The error-reporting convention of
+<I>bitstomask</I>
+
+is less than ideal;
+zero is sometimes a legitimate mask.
