  <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>

    <func>
      <name>match(IP, Direction) -> boolean()</name>
      <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>

        <v>To = string()</v>
      </type>
      <desc>
        <p>This operation returns true if the IPv4 or IPv6 address would pass the
          supplied ACL. If that is not the case, a tuple containing the accepted range
          is returned. This operation should only be used for test purposes.</p>
