+ <description>
+ <p>This module contains functions intended for analyzing Access
+ Control List (ACL) filters. The filters uses a extended format of
+ Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR).
+ For example, <c>"123.123.123.10"</c> limits
+ the connection to that particular host, while <c>"123.123.123.10/17"</c> allows
+ connections to or from any host equal to the 17 most significant bits. Orber
+ also allow the user to specify a certain port or port range, for example,
+ <c>"123.123.123.10/17#4001"</c> and <c>"123.123.123.10/17#4001/5001"</c>
+ respectively. IPv4 or none compressed IPv6 strings are accepted.</p>

+ <name>match(IP, Direction, GetInfo) -> Reply</name>
+ <fsummary>Verify if the IP address versus the current configuration</fsummary>
+ <type>
+ <v>IP = tuple() | [integer()]</v>
+ <v>Direction = tcp_in | ssl_in | tcp_out | ssl_out</v>
+ <v>GetInfo = boolean()</v>
+ <v>Reply = boolean() | {boolean(), [Interface], PortInfo}</v>
+ <v>Interface = string()</v>
+ <v>PortInfo = integer() | {integer(), integer()}</v>
+ </type>
+ <desc>
+ <p>If <c>GetInfo</c> is not supplied or set to false, this operation returns
+ a boolean which tells if the IPv4 or IPv6 address would pass the ACL
+ filter, defined by the <c>iiop_acl</c> configuration parameter, or not.
+ When <c>GetInfo</c> is set to true, a tuple which, besides the boolean
+ that tells if access was granted, also include the defined
+ interfaces and port(s). This operation requires that Orber is running and
+ can be used on a live node to determine if Orber has been properly configured.</p>
