Default constructor.

Construct an address from raw bytes and scope ID.

Copy constructor.

any

Obtain an address object that represents any address.

from_string

(Deprecated: Use make_address_v6().) Create an IPv6 address from an IP address string.

is_link_local

Determine whether the address is link local.

is_loopback

Determine whether the address is a loopback address.

is_multicast

operator=

Assign from another address.

scope_id

The scope ID of the address.

to_bytes

Get the address in bytes, in network byte order.

to_string

Get the address as a string.

(Deprecated: Use other overload.) Get the address as a string.

to_v4

(Deprecated: Use make_address_v4().) Converts an IPv4-mapped or IPv4-compatible address to an IPv4 address.

v4_compatible

(Deprecated: No replacement.) Create an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.

v4_mapped
