Ruby IPAddr Functions
EditRocket provides the following information on IPAddr functions in the Ruby source code builder.
hton() - Returns a network byte ordered string form of the IP address.
include?(other) - Returns true if the given ipaddr is in the range.
inspect() - "Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of the ipaddr. ("#<IPAddr: family:address/mask>")"
ip6_arpa() - Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup compatible with RFC3172.
ip6_int() - Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup compatible with RFC1886.
ipv4?() - Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4 address.
ipv4_compat?() - Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.
ipv4_compat() - Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.
ipv4_mapped?() - Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
ipv4_mapped() - Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
ipv6?() - Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv6 address.
mask(prefixlen) - Returns a new ipaddr built by masking IP address with the given prefixlen/netmask. (e.g. 8, 64, "255.255.255.0", etc.)
native() - Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the IPv6 address into a native IPv4 address. If the IP address is not an IPv4-mapped or IPv4-compatible IPv6 address, returns self.
new(addr = '::', family = Socket::AF_UNSPEC) - Creates a new ipaddr containing the given human readable form of an IP address. It also accepts `address/prefixlen' and `address/mask'. When prefixlen or mask is specified, it returns a masked ipaddr. IPv6 address may beenclosed with `[' and `]'.
new_ntoh(addr) - Creates a new ipaddr containing the given network byte ordered string form of an IP address.
ntop(addr) - Convert a network byte ordered string form of an IP address into human readable form.
reverse() - Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup. It returns a string in RFC3172 form for an IPv6 address.
to_i() - Returns the integer representation of the ipaddr.
to_s() - Returns a string containing the IP address representation.
to_string() - Returns a string containing the IP address representation in canonical form.
