public final class Inet6Address extends InetAddress

Method Summary
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this object against the specified object
byte[]	getAddress() Returns the raw IP address of this InetAddress object.
static Inet6Address	getByAddress(String host, byte[] addr, int scopeId) Creates a scoped Inet6Address where the scope has an integer id.
static Inet6Address	getByAddress(String host, byte[] addr, NetworkInterface nif) Creates a scoped Inet6Address where the scope is a given NetworkInterface.
String	getHostAddress() Returns the IP address string in textual presentation
NetworkInterface	getScopedInterface() Returns the `NetworkInterface` of the address scope if it is a scoped address and the scope is given in the form of a NetworkInterface.
int	getScopeId() Returns the scope ID of the address scope if it is a scoped adress using an integer to identify the scope.
int	hashCode() Returns a hashcode for this IP address (The hashcode is independent of scope)

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object against the specified object

getAddress

public byte[] getAddress()

Returns the raw IP address of this InetAddress object. The result is in network byte order: the highest order byte of the address is i n getAddress()[0]

getByAddress

public static Inet6Address getByAddress(String host, byte[] addr, int scopeId)

Creates a scoped Inet6Address where the scope has an integer id.

Throws: UnkownHostException if the address is an invalid number of bytes.

Since: 1.5

getByAddress

public static Inet6Address getByAddress(String host, byte[] addr, NetworkInterface nif)

Creates a scoped Inet6Address where the scope is a given NetworkInterface.

Throws: UnkownHostException if the address is an invalid number of bytes.

Since: 1.5

getHostAddress

public String getHostAddress()

Returns the IP address string in textual presentation

getScopedInterface

public NetworkInterface getScopedInterface()

Returns the NetworkInterface of the address scope if it is a scoped address and the scope is given in the form of a NetworkInterface. (I.e. the address was created using the getByAddress(String, byte[], NetworkInterface) method) Otherwise this method returns null.

Since: 1.5
