InternetAddress class

An internet address or a Unix domain address.

This object holds an internet address. If this internet address is the result of a DNS lookup, the address also holds the hostname used to make the lookup. An Internet address combined with a port number represents an endpoint to which a socket can connect or a listening socket can bind.

Static Properties

anyIPv4 → InternetAddress
IP version 4 any address. Use this address when listening on all adapters IP addresses using IP version 4 (IPv4).
final
anyIPv6 → InternetAddress
IP version 6 any address. Use this address when listening on all adapters IP addresses using IP version 6 (IPv6).
final
loopbackIPv4 → InternetAddress
IP version 4 loopback address. Use this address when listening on or connecting to the loopback adapter using IP version 4 (IPv4).
final
loopbackIPv6 → InternetAddress
IP version 6 loopback address. Use this address when listening on or connecting to the loopback adapter using IP version 6 (IPv6).
final

Static Methods

lookup(String host, {InternetAddressType type = InternetAddressType.any}) → Future<List<InternetAddress>>
Lookup a host, returning a Future of a list of InternetAddresss. If type is InternetAddressType.any, it will lookup both IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) addresses. If type is either InternetAddressType.IPv4 or InternetAddressType.IPv6 it will only lookup addresses of the specified type. The order of the list can, and most likely will, change over time.
override
tryParse(String address) → InternetAddress?
Attempts to parse address as a numeric address.
