fromString

lib.network.ipv6.fromString

Docs pulled from | This Revision | 10 minutes ago

Creates an IPv6Address object from an IPv6 address as a string. If the prefix length is omitted, it defaults to 64. The parser is limited to the first two versions of IPv6 addresses addressed in RFC 4291. The form "x:x:x:x:x:x

.d.d.d" is not yet implemented. Addresses are NOT compressed, so they are not always the same as the canonical text representation of IPv6 addresses defined in RFC 5952.

Type

fromString :: String -> IPv6Address

Examples

fromString "2001:DB8::ffff/32"
=> {
  address = "2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:ffff";
  prefixLength = 32;
}

Arguments

[addr] An IPv6 address with optional prefix length.

Implementation

The following is the current implementation of this function.

fromString =
      addr:
      let
        splittedAddr = _ipv6.split addr;

        addrInternal = splittedAddr.address;
        prefixLength = splittedAddr.prefixLength;

        address = _ipv6.toStringFromExpandedIp addrInternal;
      in
      {
        inherit address prefixLength;
      };
