\section{\class{wxIPaddress}}\label{wxipaddress}

wxIPaddress is an abstract base class for all internet protocol address 
objects. Currently, only \helpref{wxIPV4address}{wxipv4address} 
is implemented. An experimental implementation for IPV6, wxIPV6address,
is being developed.

\wxheading{Derived from}

\helpref{wxSockAddress}{wxsockaddress}

\membersection{wxIPaddress::Hostname}\label{wxipaddresshostname}

\func{virtual bool}{Hostname}{\param{const wxString\&}{ hostname}}

Set the address to {\it hostname}, which can be a host name
or an IP-style address in a format dependent on implementation.

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns true on success, false if something goes wrong
(invalid hostname or invalid IP address).

\func{virtual wxString}{Hostname}{\void}

Returns the hostname which matches the IP address.

\membersection{wxIPaddress::IPAddress}\label{wxipaddressipaddress}

\func{virtual wxString}{IPAddress}{\void}

Returns a wxString containing the IP address.

\membersection{wxIPaddress::Service}\label{wxipaddressservice}

\func{virtual bool}{Service}{\param{const wxString\&}{ service}}

Set the port to that corresponding to the specified {\it service}.

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns true on success, false if something goes wrong
(invalid service).

\func{virtual bool}{Service}{\param{unsigned short}{ service}}

Set the port to that corresponding to the specified {\it service}.

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns true on success, false if something goes wrong
(invalid service).

\func{virtual unsigned short}{Service}{\void}

Returns the current service.

% AnyAddress
%

\membersection{wxIPaddress::AnyAddress}\label{wxIPaddressanyaddress}

\func{virtual bool}{AnyAddress}{\void}

Internally, this is the same as setting the IP address
to {\bf INADDR\_ANY}.

On IPV4 implementations, 0.0.0.0

On IPV6 implementations, ::

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns true on success, false if something went wrong.

% LocalHost
%

\membersection{wxIPaddress::LocalHost}\label{wxIPaddresslocalhost}

\func{virtual bool}{LocalHost}{\void}

Set address to localhost. 

On IPV4 implementations, 127.0.0.1

On IPV6 implementations, ::1

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns true on success, false if something went wrong.

\membersection{wxIPaddress::IsLocalHost}\label{wxIPaddressislocalhost}

\func{virtual bool}{IsLocalHost}{\void}

Determines if current address is set to localhost. 

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns true if address is localhost, false if internet address.
