InternetAddress abstract class

InternetAddress class

An internet address.

This object holds an internet address. If this internet address is the result of a DNS lookup, the address also holds the hostname used to make the lookup. An Internet address combined with a port number represents an endpoint to which a socket can connect or a listening socket can bind.

Constructors

InternetAddress(String address): Creates a new InternetAddress from a numeric address. [...]
factory

Properties

address → String: The numeric address of the host. For IPv4 addresses this is using the dotted-decimal notation. For IPv6 it is using the hexadecimal representation.
read-only
host → String: The host used to lookup the address. If there is no host associated with the address this returns the numeric address.
read-only
isLinkLocal → bool: Returns true if the InternetAddresss scope is a link-local.
read-only
isLoopback → bool: Returns true if the InternetAddress is a loopback address.
read-only
isMulticast → bool: Returns true if the InternetAddresss scope is multicast.
read-only
rawAddress → List<int>: Get the raw address of this InternetAddress. The result is either a 4 or 16 byte long list. The returned list is a copy, making it possible to change the list without modifying the InternetAddress.
read-only
type → InternetAddressType: The type of the InternetAddress specified what IP protocol.
read-only
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-only, inherited

Methods

reverse() → Future<InternetAddress>: Perform a reverse dns lookup on the address, creating a new InternetAddress where the host field set to the result.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
toString() → String: Returns a string representation of this object.
inherited

Operators

operator ==(dynamic other) → bool: The equality operator. [...]
inherited

Static Properties

ANY_IP_V4 → InternetAddress: @Deprecated("Use anyIPv4 instead"), read-only
ANY_IP_V6 → InternetAddress: @Deprecated("Use anyIPv6 instead"), read-only
anyIPv4 → InternetAddress: IP version 4 any address. Use this address when listening on all adapters IP addresses using IP version 4 (IPv4).
read-only
anyIPv6 → InternetAddress: IP version 6 any address. Use this address when listening on all adapters IP addresses using IP version 6 (IPv6).
read-only
LOOPBACK_IP_V4 → InternetAddress: @Deprecated("Use loopbackIPv4 instead"), read-only
LOOPBACK_IP_V6 → InternetAddress: @Deprecated("Use loopbackIPv6 instead"), read-only
loopbackIPv4 → InternetAddress: IP version 4 loopback address. Use this address when listening on or connecting to the loopback adapter using IP version 4 (IPv4).
read-only
loopbackIPv6 → InternetAddress: IP version 6 loopback address. Use this address when listening on or connecting to the loopback adapter using IP version 6 (IPv6).
read-only

Static Methods

lookup(String host, { InternetAddressType type: InternetAddressType.any }) → Future<List<InternetAddress>>: Lookup a host, returning a Future of a list of InternetAddresss. If type is InternetAddressType.ANY, it will lookup both IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) addresses. If type is either InternetAddressType.IPv4 or InternetAddressType.IPv6 it will only lookup addresses of the specified type. The order of the list can, and most likely will, change over time.
