A Resolv::DNS IPv4 address.
# File resolv.rb, line 2153 def self.create(arg) case arg when IPv4 return arg when Regex if (0..255) === (a = $1.to_i) && (0..255) === (b = $2.to_i) && (0..255) === (c = $3.to_i) && (0..255) === (d = $4.to_i) return self.new([a, b, c, d].pack("CCCC")) else raise ArgumentError.new("IPv4 address with invalid value: " + arg) end else raise ArgumentError.new("cannot interpret as IPv4 address: #{arg.inspect}") end end
Turns this IPv4 address into a Resolv::DNS::Name.
# File resolv.rb, line 2200 def to_name return DNS::Name.create( '%d.%d.%d.%d.in-addr.arpa.' % @address.unpack('CCCC').reverse) end
