Class

IPAddr provides a set of methods to manipulate an IP address. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

Example

require 'ipaddr'

ipaddr1 = IPAddr.new "3ffe:505:2::1"

p ipaddr1                   #=> #<IPAddr: IPv6:3ffe:0505:0002:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff>

p ipaddr1.to_s              #=> "3ffe:505:2::1"

ipaddr2 = ipaddr1.mask(48)  #=> #<IPAddr: IPv6:3ffe:0505:0002:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/ffff:ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000>

p ipaddr2.to_s              #=> "3ffe:505:2::"

ipaddr3 = IPAddr.new "192.168.2.0/24"

p ipaddr3                   #=> #<IPAddr: IPv4:192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0>
Constants

32 bit mask for IPv4

128 bit mask for IPv6

Format string for IPv6

Regexp internally used for parsing IPv4 address.

Regexp internally used for parsing IPv6 address.

Regexp internally used for parsing IPv6 address.

Attributes
Read

Returns the address family of this IP address.

Class Methods

Creates a new ipaddr object either from a human readable IP address representation in string, or from a packed in_addr value followed by an address family.

In the former case, the following are the valid formats that will be recognized: “address”, “address/prefixlen” and “address/mask”, where IPv6 address may be enclosed in square brackets (‘[’ and ‘]’). If a prefixlen or a mask is specified, it returns a masked IP address. Although the address family is determined automatically from a specified string, you can specify one explicitly by the optional second argument.

Otherwise an IP address is generated from a packed in_addr value and an address family.

The IPAddr class defines many methods and operators, and some of those, such as &, |, include? and ==, accept a string, or a packed in_addr value instead of an IPAddr object.

Creates a new ipaddr containing the given network byte ordered string form of an IP address.

Convert a network byte ordered string form of an IP address into human readable form.

Instance Methods

Returns a new ipaddr built by bitwise AND.

Returns a new ipaddr built by bitwise left shift.

Compares the ipaddr with another.

Returns true if two ipaddrs are equal.

An alias for include?

Returns a new ipaddr built by bitwise right-shift.

Returns true if the given ipaddr is in the range.

e.g.:

require 'ipaddr'
net1 = IPAddr.new("192.168.2.0/24")
net2 = IPAddr.new("192.168.2.100")
net3 = IPAddr.new("192.168.3.0")
p net1.include?(net2)     #=> true
p net1.include?(net3)     #=> false

Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of the ipaddr. (“#<IPAddr: family:address/mask>”)

Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup compatible with RFC3172.

Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup compatible with RFC1886.

Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4 address.

Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.

Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.

Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv6 address.

Returns true if the ipaddr is a link-local address. IPv4 addresses in 169.254.0.0/16 reserved by RFC 3927 and Link-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses in fe80::/10 reserved by RFC 4291 are considered link-local.

Returns true if the ipaddr is a loopback address.

Returns a new ipaddr built by masking IP address with the given prefixlen/netmask. (e.g. 8, 64, “255.255.255.0”, etc.)

Set current netmask to given mask.

Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the IPv6 address into a native IPv4 address. If the IP address is not an IPv4-mapped or IPv4-compatible IPv6 address, returns self.

Returns the prefix length in bits for the ipaddr.

Sets the prefix length in bits

Returns true if the ipaddr is a private address. IPv4 addresses in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16 as defined in RFC 1918 and IPv6 Unique Local Addresses in fc00::/7 as defined in RFC 4193 are considered private.

Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup. It returns a string in RFC3172 form for an IPv6 address.

Set +@addr+, the internal stored ip address, to given addr. The parameter addr is validated using the first family member, which is Socket::AF_INET or Socket::AF_INET6.

Returns the successor to the ipaddr.

Returns the integer representation of the ipaddr.

Creates a Range object for the network address.

Returns a string containing the IP address representation.

Returns a string containing the IP address representation in canonical form.

Returns a new ipaddr built by bitwise OR.

#

Returns a new ipaddr built by bitwise negation.
