IPv6

IPv6(host::Integer) -> IPv6

Returns IPv6 object from ip address formatted as Integer

Examples

1. Convert an IPv6 address from Integer to IPv6 object:

   julia> ip_int = 42540528726086948282005740903761766848;
   julia> ip = IPv6(ip_int)
   IPv6("2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334")

   This example converts the IPv6 address represented as an integer (ip_int) into an IPv6 object (ip).

2. Access properties of the IPv6 object:

   julia> ip = IPv6(42540528726086948282005740903761766848);
   julia> ip.address
   "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334"
   julia> ip.version
   "IPv6"

   It demonstrates how to access the address and version properties of the IPv6 object.

3. Use the IPv6 object in functions or operations:

   julia> ip = IPv6(42540528726086948282005740903761766848);
   julia> println("IP Address: ", ip)
   IP Address: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

   Here, the IPv6 object is used in a println statement to display the IP address.

Common mistake example:

julia> ip = IPv6("2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334");
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching IPv6(::String)

In this example, the input to the IPv6 constructor is a string instead of an integer. Make sure to provide the IP address as an integer when using the IPv6 function.
