struct Socket::IPAddress

Overview

IP address representation.

Holds a binary representation of an IP address, either translated from a String, or directly received from an opened connection (e.g. Socket#local_address, Socket#receive).

Example:

require "socket"

Socket::IPAddress.new("127.0.0.1", 8080)
Socket::IPAddress.new("fe80::2ab2:bdff:fe59:8e2c", 1234)

IPAddress won't resolve domains, including localhost. If you must resolve an IP, or don't know whether a String contains an IP or a domain name, you should use Addrinfo.resolve instead.

Defined in:

socket/address.cr

Constructor Detail

def self.from(sockaddr : Pointer(LibC::Sockaddr), addrlen) : IPAddressSource

Creates an IPAddress from the internal OS representation. Supports both INET and INET6 families.

def self.new(address : String, port : Int32)Source

def self.parse(uri : URI) : IPAddressSource

Parses a Socket::IPAddress from an URI.

It expects the URI to include ://: where scheme as well as any additional URI components (such as path or query) are ignored.

host must be an IP address (v4 or v6), otherwise Socket::Error will be raised. Domain names will not be resolved.

require "socket"

Socket::IPAddress.parse("tcp://127.0.0.1:8080") # => Socket::IPAddress.new("127.0.0.1", 8080)
Socket::IPAddress.parse("udp://[::1]:8080")     # => Socket::IPAddress.new("::1", 8080)

def self.parse(uri : String) : selfSource

Parses a Socket::IPAddress from an URI.

It expects the URI to include ://: where scheme as well as any additional URI components (such as path or query) are ignored.

host must be an IP address (v4 or v6), otherwise Socket::Error will be raised. Domain names will not be resolved.

require "socket"

Socket::IPAddress.parse("tcp://127.0.0.1:8080") # => Socket::IPAddress.new("127.0.0.1", 8080)
Socket::IPAddress.parse("udp://[::1]:8080")     # => Socket::IPAddress.new("::1", 8080)

Class Method Detail

def self.valid_port?(port : Int) : BoolSource

Returns true if port is a valid port number.

Valid port numbers are in the range 0..65_535.

Instance Method Detail

def ==(other : self)

def address : StringSource

Returns a String representation of the IP address.

Example:

ip_address = socket.remote_address
ip_address.address # => "127.0.0.1"

def hash(hasher)

Description copied from struct Struct

See Object#hash(hasher)

def inspect(io : IO) : NilSource

Description copied from struct Struct

Appends this struct's name and instance variables names and values to the given IO.

struct Point
  def initialize(@x : Int32, @y : Int32)
  end
end

p1 = Point.new 1, 2
p1.to_s    # "Point(@x=1, @y=2)"
p1.inspect # "Point(@x=1, @y=2)"

def loopback? : BoolSource

Returns true if this IP is a loopback address.

In the IPv4 family, loopback addresses are all addresses in the subnet 127.0.0.0/24. In IPv6 ::1 is the loopback address.

def port : Int32Source

def pretty_print(pp)Source

def private? : BoolSource

Returns true if this IP is a private address.

IPv4 addresses in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16 as defined in RFC 1918 and IPv6 Unique Local Addresses in fc00::/7 as defined in RFC 4193 are considered private.

def to_s(io : IO) : NilSource

Description copied from struct Struct

Same as #inspect(io).

def to_unsafe : Pointer(LibC::Sockaddr)Source

def unspecified? : BoolSource

Returns true if this IP is an unspecified address, either the IPv4 address 0.0.0.0 or the IPv6 address ::.
