61
62
63The QHostAddress class provides an IP address.
64
65<p>
66
67<p> This class contains an IP address in a platform and protocol
68independent manner. It stores both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in a
69way that you can easily access on any platform.
70<p> QHostAddress is normally used with the classes <a href="qsocket.html">QSocket</a>,
71<a href="qserversocket.html">QServerSocket</a> and <a href="qsocketdevice.html">QSocketDevice</a> to set up a server or to connect
72to a host.
73<p> Host addresses may be set with <a href="#setAddress">setAddress</a>() and retrieved with
74<a href="#ip4Addr">ip4Addr</a>() or <a href="#toString">toString</a>().
75<p> <p>See also <a href="qsocket.html">QSocket</a>, <a href="qserversocket.html">QServerSocket</a>, <a href="qsocketdevice.html">QSocketDevice</a>, and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.

77<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
78<h3 class=fn><a name="QHostAddress"></a>QHostAddress::QHostAddress ()
79</h3>
80Creates a host address object with the IP address 0.0.0.0.
81
82<h3 class=fn><a name="QHostAddress-2"></a>QHostAddress::QHostAddress ( Q_UINT32&nbsp;ip4Addr )
83</h3>
84Creates a host address object for the IPv4 address <em>ip4Addr</em>.
85
86<h3 class=fn><a name="QHostAddress-3"></a>QHostAddress::QHostAddress ( Q_UINT8&nbsp;*&nbsp;ip6Addr )
87</h3>
88Creates a host address object with the specified IPv6 address.
89<p> <em>ip6Addr</em> must be a 16 byte array in network byte order
90(high-order byte first).
91
92<h3 class=fn><a name="QHostAddress-4"></a>QHostAddress::QHostAddress ( const&nbsp;Q_IPV6ADDR&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;ip6Addr )
93</h3>
94Creates a host address object with the IPv6 address, <em>ip6Addr</em>.
95
96<h3 class=fn><a name="QHostAddress-6"></a>QHostAddress::QHostAddress ( const&nbsp;<a href="qhostaddress.html">QHostAddress</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;address )
97</h3>
98Creates a copy of <em>address</em>.
99
100<h3 class=fn><a name="~QHostAddress"></a>QHostAddress::~QHostAddress ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
101</h3>
102Destroys the host address object.
103
104<h3 class=fn>Q_UINT32 <a name="ip4Addr"></a>QHostAddress::ip4Addr () const
105</h3>
106<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
107<p> Use <a href="#toIPv4Address">toIPv4Address</a>() instead.
108
109<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isIPv4Address"></a>QHostAddress::isIPv4Address () const
110</h3>
111Returns TRUE if the host address represents an IPv4 address;
112otherwise returns FALSE.
113
114<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isIPv6Address"></a>QHostAddress::isIPv6Address () const
115</h3>
116Returns TRUE if the host address represents an IPv6 address;
117otherwise returns FALSE.
118
119<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isIp4Addr"></a>QHostAddress::isIp4Addr () const
120</h3>
121<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
122<p> Use <a href="#isIPv4Address">isIPv4Address</a>() instead.
123
124<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isNull"></a>QHostAddress::isNull () const
125</h3>
126Returns TRUE if this host address is null (INADDR_ANY or in6addr_any). The
127default constructor creates a null address, and that address isn't valid
128for any particular host or interface.
129
130<h3 class=fn><a href="qhostaddress.html">QHostAddress</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>QHostAddress::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qhostaddress.html">QHostAddress</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;address )
131</h3>
132Assigns another host address object <em>address</em> to this object and
133returns a reference to this object.
134
135<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator-eq-eq"></a>QHostAddress::operator== ( const&nbsp;<a href="qhostaddress.html">QHostAddress</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other ) const
136</h3>
137Returns TRUE if this host address is the same as <em>other</em>;
138otherwise returns FALSE.
139
140<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAddress"></a>QHostAddress::setAddress ( Q_UINT32&nbsp;ip4Addr )
141</h3>
142Set the IPv4 address specified by <em>ip4Addr</em>.
143
144<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAddress-2"></a>QHostAddress::setAddress ( Q_UINT8&nbsp;*&nbsp;ip6Addr )
145</h3>
146This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
147<p> Set the IPv6 address specified by <em>ip6Addr</em>.
148<p> <em>ip6Addr</em> must be a 16 byte array in network byte order
149(high-order byte first).
150
151<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="setAddress-3"></a>QHostAddress::setAddress ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;address )
152</h3>
153This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
154<p> Sets the IPv4 or IPv6 address specified by the string
155representation <em>address</em> (e.g. "127.0.0.1"). Returns TRUE and
156sets the address if the address was successfully parsed; otherwise
157returns FALSE and leaves the address unchanged.
158
159<h3 class=fn>Q_UINT32 <a name="toIPv4Address"></a>QHostAddress::toIPv4Address () const
160</h3>
161Returns the IPv4 address as a number.
162<p> For example, if the address is 127.0.0.1, the returned value is
1632130706433 (i.e. 0x7f000001).
164<p> This value is only valid when <a href="#isIp4Addr">isIp4Addr</a>() returns TRUE.
165<p> <p>See also <a href="#toString">toString</a>().
166
167<h3 class=fn>Q_IPV6ADDR <a name="toIPv6Address"></a>QHostAddress::toIPv6Address () const
168</h3>
169Returns the IPv6 address as a Q_IPV6ADDR structure. The structure
170consists of 16 unsigned characters.
171<p> <pre>
172 Q_IPV6ADDR addr = hostAddr.ip6Addr();
173 // addr.c[] contains 16 unsigned characters
174
175 for (int i = 0; i &lt; 16; ++i) {
176 // process addr.c[i]
177 }
178 </pre>
179
180<p> This value is only valid when <a href="#isIPv6Address">isIPv6Address</a>() returns TRUE.
181<p> <p>See also <a href="#toString">toString</a>().
182
183<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="toString"></a>QHostAddress::toString () const
184</h3>
185Returns the address as a string.
186<p> For example, if the address is the IPv4 address 127.0.0.1, the
187returned string is "127.0.0.1".
188<p> <p>See also <a href="#ip4Addr">ip4Addr</a>().
