InetAddress

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

public class InetAddress : Object

InetAddress represents an IPv4 or IPv6 internet address. Use lookup_by_name or lookup_by_name_async to look up the InetAddress for a hostname. Use lookup_by_address or lookup_by_address_async to look up the hostname for a InetAddress.

To actually connect to a remote host, you will need a InetSocketAddress (which includes a InetAddress as well as a port number).

Properties:

public void* bytes { construct set; get; }
public SocketFamily family { construct set; get; }
public bool is_any { get; }
Whether this is the "any" address for its family. See get_is_any.

Whether this is a link-local address. See get_is_link_local.
public bool is_loopback { get; }
Whether this is the loopback address for its family. See get_is_loopback.
public bool is_mc_global { get; }
Whether this is a global multicast address. See get_is_mc_global.

public bool is_site_local { get; }
Whether this is a site-local address. See get_is_loopback.

Creation methods:

protected InetAddress ()
public InetAddress.any (SocketFamily family)
Creates a InetAddress for the "any" address (unassigned/"don't care") for family.
public InetAddress.from_bytes (uint8[] bytes, SocketFamily family)
Creates a new InetAddress from the given family and bytes. bytes should be 4 bytes for G_INET_ADDRESS_IPV4 and 16 bytes for G_INET_ADDRESS_IPV6.
public InetAddress.from_string (string str)
Parses string as an IP address and creates a new InetAddress.
public InetAddress.loopback (SocketFamily family)
Creates a InetAddress for the loopback address for family.

Methods:

public bool equal (InetAddress other_address)
Checks if two InetAddress instances are equal, e.g. the same address.
public SocketFamily get_family ()
Gets address's family
public bool get_is_any ()
Tests whether address is the "any" address for its family.
public bool get_is_link_local ()
Tests whether address is a link-local address (that is, if it identifies a host on a local network that is not connected to the Internet).
public bool get_is_loopback ()
Tests whether address is the loopback address for its family.
public bool get_is_mc_global ()
Tests whether address is a global multicast address.
public bool get_is_mc_link_local ()
Tests whether address is a link-local multicast address.
public bool get_is_mc_node_local ()
Tests whether address is a node-local multicast address.
public bool get_is_mc_org_local ()
Tests whether address is an organization-local multicast address.
public bool get_is_mc_site_local ()
Tests whether address is a site-local multicast address.
public bool get_is_multicast ()
Tests whether address is a multicast address.
public bool get_is_site_local ()
Tests whether address is a site-local address such as 10.0.0.1 (that is, the address identifies a host on a local network that can not be reached directly from the Internet, but which may have outgoing Internet connectivity via a NAT or firewall).
public size_t get_native_size ()
Gets the size of the native raw binary address for address. This is the size of the data that you get from to_bytes.
public virtual weak uint8[] to_bytes ()
Gets the raw binary address data from address.
public virtual string to_string ()
Converts address to string form.
