val bin_read_t : t Bin_prot.Read.reader
val __bin_read_t__ : (int -> t) Bin_prot.Read.reader

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.

val arg_type : t Core.Command.Arg_type.t
val t_of_sexp : Core.Sexp.t -> t

t_of_sexp is deprecated because it used to block to do a DNS lookup, and we don't want a sexp converter to do that. As we transition away, one can use Blocking_sexp, which has the old behavior.

  • deprecated [since 2015-10] Replace [t] by [Stable.V1.t] or by [Blocking_sexp.t]
module Blocking_sexp = Core_unix.Inet_addr.Blocking_sexp

Blocking_sexp performs DNS lookup to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.

val of_string : string -> t

Conversion from the printable representation of an Internet address to its internal representation. The argument string consists of 4 numbers separated by periods (XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT) for IPv4 addresses, and up to 8 numbers separated by colons for IPv6 addresses. Raise Failure when given a string that does not match these formats.

val to_string : t -> string

Return the printable representation of the given Internet address. See of_string for a description of the printable representation.

val bind_any : t

A special address, for use only with bind, representing all the Internet addresses that the host machine possesses.

val bind_any_inet6 : t
val localhost : t

Special addresses representing the host machine.

127.0.0.1

val localhost_inet6 : t

(::1)

val inet4_addr_of_int32 : Core.Int32.t -> t

Some things (like the kernel) report addresses as hex or decimal strings. Provide conversion functions.

val inet4_addr_to_int32_exn : t -> Core.Int32.t

inet4_addr_to_int32_exn t = 0l when t = Inet_addr.of_string ("0.0.0.0"). An exception is raised if t is a not an IPv4 address.

val inet4_addr_of_int63 : Core.Int63.t -> t
val inet4_addr_to_int63_exn : t -> Core.Int63.t
val of_string_or_getbyname : string -> t Async_kernel.Deferred.t

of_string_or_getbyname hostname does a DNS lookup of hostname and returns the resulting IP address.
