Struct std::net::Ipv4Addr

pub struct Ipv4Addr { /* fields omitted */ }

An IPv4 address.

IPv4 addresses are defined as 32-bit integers in IETF RFC 791. They are usually represented as four octets.

See IpAddr for a type encompassing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Textual representation

Ipv4Addr provides a FromStr implementation. The four octets are in decimal notation, divided by . (this is called "dot-decimal notation").

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let localhost = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
assert_eq!("127.0.0.1".parse(), Ok(localhost));
assert_eq!(localhost.is_loopback(), true);

Methods

impl Ipv4Addr

pub fn new(a: u8, b: u8, c: u8, d: u8) -> Ipv4Addr

Creates a new IPv4 address from four eight-bit octets.

The result will represent the IP address a.b.c.d.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);

pub fn localhost() -> Ipv4Addr

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip_constructors #44582)

requires greater scrutiny before stabilization

Creates a new IPv4 address with the address pointing to localhost: 127.0.0.1.

Examples

#![feature(ip_constructors)]
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::localhost();
assert_eq!(addr, Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1));

pub fn unspecified() -> Ipv4Addr

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip_constructors #44582)

requires greater scrutiny before stabilization

Creates a new IPv4 address representing an unspecified address: 0.0.0.0

Examples

#![feature(ip_constructors)]
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::unspecified();
assert_eq!(addr, Ipv4Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0));

pub fn octets(&self) -> [u8; 4]

Returns the four eight-bit integers that make up this address.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
assert_eq!(addr.octets(), [127, 0, 0, 1]);

pub fn is_unspecified(&self) -> bool

pub fn is_global(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip #27709)

extra functionality has not been scrutinized to the level that it should be to be stable

Returns true if the address appears to be globally routable. See iana-ipv4-special-registry.

The following return false:

• private address (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16)
• the loopback address (127.0.0.0/8)
• the link-local address (169.254.0.0/16)
• the broadcast address (255.255.255.255/32)
• test addresses used for documentation (192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24)
• the unspecified address (0.0.0.0)
