```APIDOC
## Ipv4Net

An IPv4 network address. Provides a `FromStr` implementation for parsing network addresses represented in CIDR notation.

### §Textual representation
`Ipv4Net` provides a `FromStr` implementation for parsing network addresses represented in CIDR notation. See IETF RFC 4632 for the CIDR notation.

### §Examples
```rust
use ipnet::Ipv4Net;

let net: Ipv4Net = "10.1.1.0/24".parse().unwrap();
assert_eq!(Ok(net.network()), "10.1.1.0".parse());
```

## Implementations

### impl Ipv4Net

#### pub const fn new( ip: Ipv4Addr, prefix_len: u8, ) -> Result<Ipv4Net, PrefixLenError>
Creates a new IPv4 network address from an `Ipv4Addr` and prefix length.

##### §Examples
```rust
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use ipnet::{Ipv4Net, PrefixLenError};

let net = Ipv4Net::new(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 24);
assert!(net.is_ok());

let bad_prefix_len = Ipv4Net::new(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 33);
assert_eq!(bad_prefix_len, Err(PrefixLenError));
```

#### pub const fn new_assert(ip: Ipv4Addr, prefix_len: u8) -> Ipv4Net
Creates a new IPv4 network address from an `Ipv4Addr` and prefix length. If called from a const context it will verify prefix length at compile time. Otherwise it will panic at runtime if prefix length is not less then or equal to 32.

##### §Examples
```rust
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use ipnet::{Ipv4Net};

// This code is verified at compile time:
const NET: Ipv4Net = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 24);
assert_eq!(NET.prefix_len(), 24);

// This code is verified at runtime:
let net = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 24);
assert_eq!(NET.prefix_len(), 24);

// This code does not compile:
// const BAD_PREFIX_LEN: Ipv4Net = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 33);

// This code panics at runtime:
// let bad_prefix_len = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 33);
```

#### pub fn with_netmask( ip: Ipv4Addr, netmask: Ipv4Addr, ) -> Result<Ipv4Net, PrefixLenError>
Creates a new IPv4 network address from an `Ipv4Addr` and netmask.

##### §Examples
```rust
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use ipnet::{Ipv4Net, PrefixLenError};

let net = Ipv4Net::with_netmask(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 0));
assert!(net.is_ok());

let bad_prefix_len = Ipv4Net::with_netmask(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 0, 1));
assert_eq!(bad_prefix_len, Err(PrefixLenError));

Source: https://docs.rs/netdev/0.39.0/netdev/prelude/struct.Ipv4Net

Demonstrates `new_assert` for creating an Ipv4Net, which verifies the prefix length at compile time in const contexts or panics at runtime otherwise. This is useful for compile-time checks or immediate error feedback.

```rust
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use ipnet::{Ipv4Net};

// This code is verified at compile time:
const NET: Ipv4Net = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 24);
assert_eq!(NET.prefix_len(), 24);

// This code is verified at runtime:
let net = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 24);
assert_eq!(NET.prefix_len(), 24);

// This code does not compile:
// const BAD_PREFIX_LEN: Ipv4Net = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 33);

// This code panics at runtime:
// let bad_prefix_len = Ipv4Net::new_assert(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 33);
