class: GInetAddress

[20:7] extends: object

GInetAddress represents an IPv4 or IPv6 internet address. Use [method@Gio.Resolver.lookup_by_name] or [method@Gio.Resolver.lookup_by_name_async] to look up the GInetAddress for a hostname. Use [method@Gio.Resolver.lookup_by_address] or [method@Gio.Resolver.lookup_by_address_async] to look up the hostname for a GInetAddress. To actually connect to a remote host, you will need a [class@Gio.InetSocketAddress] (which includes a GInetAddress as well as a port number).

Methods

GInetAddress (family = null)

Creates a #GInetAddress for the "any" address (unassigned/"don't care") for @family.
- @p family is the address family.
toNativeHandle (Source)

Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
- @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
- @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.
getLib ()

Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
- @r The opened native library.
handle ()

Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
- @r The wrapped NativeHandle.
isNull ()

Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
- @r A bool.
describe ()

Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
- @r A string.
asObject ()

Wraps this handle as GObject.
- @r A GObject object.
equal (object other_address)

Checks if two #GInetAddress instances are equal, e.g. the same address.
- @p other_address is Another #GInetAddress..
- @r %TRUE if @address and @other_address are equal, %FALSE otherwise..
get_family ()

Gets @address's family
- @r @address's family.
get_flowinfo ()

Gets the value of [property@Gio.InetAddress:flowinfo].
- @r The flowinfo for the address, 0 if unset or not IPv6 address..
get_is_any ()

Tests whether @address is the "any" address for its family.
- @r %TRUE if @address is the "any" address for its family..
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).
- @r %TRUE if @address is a link-local address..
get_is_loopback ()

Tests whether @address is the loopback address for its family.
- @r %TRUE if @address is the loopback address for its family..
get_is_mc_global ()

Tests whether @address is a global multicast address.
- @r %TRUE if @address is a global multicast address..
get_is_mc_link_local ()

Tests whether @address is a link-local multicast address.
- @r %TRUE if @address is a link-local multicast address..
get_is_mc_node_local ()

Tests whether @address is a node-local multicast address.
- @r %TRUE if @address is a node-local multicast address..
get_is_mc_org_local ()

Tests whether @address is an organization-local multicast address.
- @r %TRUE if @address is an organization-local multicast address..
get_is_mc_site_local ()

Tests whether @address is a site-local multicast address.
- @r %TRUE if @address is a site-local multicast address..
get_is_multicast ()

Tests whether @address is a multicast address.
- @r %TRUE if @address is a multicast address..
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).
- @r %TRUE if @address is a site-local address..
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 g_inet_address_to_bytes().
- @r the number of bytes used for the native version of @address..
get_scope_id ()

Gets the value of [property@Gio.InetAddress:scope-id].
- @r The scope-id for the address, 0 if unset or not IPv6 address..
to_bytes ()

Gets the raw binary address data from @address.
- @r a pointer to an internal array of the bytes in @address, which should not be modified, stored, or freed. The size of this array can be gotten with g_inet_address_get_native_size()..
to_string ()

Converts @address to string form.
- @r a representation of @address as a string, which should be freed after use..

class: GInetAddressMeta

[361:14] static extends: object

Generated metadata helpers for InetAddress class surfaces.

Methods

properties ()

Returns property metadata for InetAddress.
- @r A list.

class: GInetAddressCtors

[292:14] static extends: object

Alternate constructors for GInetAddress. Usage: GInetAddressCtors.<name>(...). The primary constructor lives directly on GInetAddress.

Methods

newFromBytes (list bytes, string family)

Creates a new #GInetAddress from the given @family and @bytes. @bytes should be 4 bytes for %G_SOCKET_FAMILY_IPV4 and 16 bytes for %G_SOCKET_FAMILY_IPV6.
- @p bytes is raw address data.
- @p family is the address family of @bytes.
- @r A new GInetAddress.
newFromBytesWithIpv6Info (list bytes, string family, int flowinfo, int scope_id)

Creates a new [class@Gio.InetAddress] from the given @family, @bytes and
- @scope_id. @bytes must be 4 bytes for [enum@Gio.SocketFamily.IPV4] and 16 bytes for [enum@Gio.SocketFamily.IPV6].
- @p bytes is raw address data.
- @p family is the address family of @bytes.
- @p scope_id is the scope-id of the address.
- @r A new GInetAddress.
newFromString (string arg0String)

Parses @string as an IP address and creates a new #GInetAddress. If
- @address is an IPv6 address, it can also contain a scope ID (separated from the address by a %). Note that currently this behavior is platform specific. This may change in a future release.
- @p string is a string representation of an IP address.
- @r A new GInetAddress.
newLoopback (string family)

Creates a #GInetAddress for the loopback address for @family.
- @p family is the address family.
- @r A new GInetAddress.
