/* NAME
/*	mask_addr 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	address bit banging
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <mask_addr.h>
/*
/*	void	mask_addr(addr_bytes, addr_byte_count, network_bits)
/*	unsigned char *addr_bytes;
/*	unsigned addr_byte_count;
/*	unsigned network_bits;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	mask_addr() clears all the host bits in the specified
/*	address.  The code can handle addresses of any length,
/*	and bytes of any width.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP addr_bytes
/*	The network address in network byte order.
/* .IP addr_byte_count
/*	The network address length in bytes.
/* .IP network_bits
/*	The number of initial bits that will not be cleared.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Fatal errors: the number of network bits exceeds the address size.
/* LICENSE
