ipaddress (version 0.5.0)

ip_to_bytes: Represent address as raw bytes

Description

Encode or decode an ip_address as a vector of raw bytes.

Usage

ip_to_bytes(x)
bytes_to_ip(x)

Arguments

x

• For ip_to_bytes(): An ip_address vector

• For bytes_to_ip(): A blob::blob vector

Value

• For ip_to_bytes(): A blob::blob vector

• For bytes_to_ip(): An ip_address vector

Details

The bytes are stored in network order (also known as big-endian order), which is part of the IP standard.

IPv4 addresses use 4 bytes, IPv6 addresses use 16 bytes, and missing values are encoded as NULL.
