Detailed Description

A generic representation of an IP address, IPv4 or IPv6.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address

An instance of this class can hold an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. An instance always have a generation IPv4 or IPv6. The default initial value is the IPv4 generic address for "any address".

In this class, methods which apply to only one generation, IPv4 or IPv6, have a name ending in 4 or 6, respectively. Some constructors implicitly build one generation of address, IPv4 or IPv6, but their names remain IPAddress() without trailing 4 or 6 by design of C++.

IP v4 addresses are sometimes manipulated as 32-bit integer values. There is always some ambiguity in the operating system interface about the byte order of these integer values. In this class, all publicly available integer values are in the natural host byte order. Whenever a conversion is required, the internal guts of this class will do it for you (and hide it from you).

An IPv6 address is made of 128 bits (16 bytes). It can be manipulated as

16 bytes
8 groups of 16 bits or hextets.
2 64-bit values, the network prefix and the network identifier.

[in]	preferred	Preferred IP generation of the returned address. Return the first availabale address by default. If no address of that generation is available, return one from the other generation if available.

Returns: True if name was successfully resolved, false otherwise. In the later case, the address is invalidated.

Reimplemented in ts::IPSocketAddress.

◆ ResolveAllAddresses()

static bool ts::IPAddress::ResolveAllAddresses	(	IPAddressVector &	addresses,
		const UString &	name,
		Report &	report,
		IP	gen = `IP::Any`
	)

static

Decode a host name and get all possible addresses for that host.

Parameters

[out]	addresses	List of possible addresses for name. If name is a valid numerical addresse, only this one is returned.
[in]	name	A string containing either a host name or a numerical representation of the address.
[in,out]	report	Where to report errors.
[in]	gen	IP generation of the returned address. Can be used to restrict the result to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. Return all by default.

Returns: True if name was successfully resolved, false otherwise.

◆ hasPort()

virtual bool ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::hasPort ( ) const

virtualinherited

Check if a port is set.

Returns: True if port is set.

◆ port()

virtual Port ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::port ( ) const

virtualinherited

Get the port if there is one.

The default implementation returns AnyPort.

Returns: The port number or AnyPort if there is none.

Reimplemented in ts::IPSocketAddress.

◆ setPort()

virtual void ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::setPort ( Port port )

virtualinherited

Set the port.

The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

[in] port The port number as an integer in host byte order.

Reimplemented in ts::IPSocketAddress.

◆ clearPort()

virtual void ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::clearPort ( )

virtualinherited

Clear the port.

The default implementatio sets the port to AnyPort
