matcher.has('192.168.3.0');
// returns true

FYI

• For simplicity, all functions will only ever return String, String[], boolean, or null.
• By default the library will fail silently and null is returned when errors are encountered. To override this setting set the optional throwErrors parameter to True.
• By default the library will conveniently mask out provided network values to their base address when such an operation makes sense. To override this setting set the optional strict parameter to True where applicable.
