Net::IpAddress Class Reference

#include <ipaddress.h>

Detailed Description

Represents an IP address, consisting of a IPv4 host address and a port number. Can extract address information from an URI and automatically converts host names to addresses, and offers the special hostnames "localhost", "any", "broadcast", "self" and "inetself" where:

"localhost" will translate to 127.0.0.1
"any" will translate to INADDR_ANY, which is 0.0.0.0
"broadcast" will translate to INADDR_BROADCAST, which is 255.255.255.255
"self" will translate to the first valid tcp/ip address for this host (there may be more then one address bound to the host)
"inetself" will translate to the first host address which is not a LAN address (which is not a class A, B, or C network) if none such exists the address will fall back to "self"
