<h3>Return value:</h3>
<ul> 
	<li>When subtracting inplace: Return <code>true</code> if the subtraction 
	    succeeded or <code>false</code> when the subtraction underflowed.</li> 
	<li>When deriving new CIDR: Return new instance representing the value of 
        this instance minus the subtracted amount or the lowest address if 
	    the subtraction underflowed.</li></ul>

<dt><a name="cidr.minhost"></a><strong>cidr:minhost</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 
Calculate the lowest possible host address within this CIDR instance. 


<h3>Usage:</h3>
<pre>local addr = luci.ip.new("192.168.123.56/24") 
print(addr:minhost())  -- "192.168.123.1" 
 
local addr6 = luci.ip.new("fd9b:62b3:9cc5:0:221:63ff:fe75:aa17/64") 
print(addr6:minhost()) -- "fd9b:62b3:9cc5::1" 
 
local mac = luci.ip.new("00:14:22:01:22:45/32") 
print(mac:minhost())   -- "00:14:22:01:00:01"</pre>


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Returns a new CIDR instance representing the lowest host address 
	within this range.


</dd>


<dt><a name="cidr.maxhost"></a><strong>cidr:maxhost</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 
Calculate the highest possible host address within this CIDR instance. 


<h3>Usage:</h3>
<pre>local addr = luci.ip.new("192.168.123.56/24") 
print(addr:maxhost())  -- "192.168.123.254" (.255 is broadcast) 
 
local addr6 = luci.ip.new("fd9b:62b3:9cc5:0:221:63ff:fe75:aa17/64") 
print(addr6:maxhost()) -- "fd9b:62b3:9cc5:0:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff" 
 
local mac = luci.ip.new("00:14:22:01:22:45/32") 
print(mac:maxhost())   -- "00:14:22:01:FF:FF"</pre>


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Returns a new CIDR instance representing the highest host address 
	within this range.


</dd>


<dt><a name="cidr.string"></a><strong>cidr:string</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 
Convert CIDR instance into string representation. 
 
If the prefix size of instance is less than 32 for IPv4, 128 for IPv6 or 48 for 
MACs, the address is returned in the form "address/prefix" otherwise just 
"address". 
 
It is usually not required to call this function directly as CIDR objects 
define it as __tostring function in the associated metatable. 


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Returns a string representing the range or address of this CIDR instance
