# Struct std::net::Ipv4Addr 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct Ipv4Addr { /* fields omitted */ }

Representation of an IPv4 address.

## Methods

### `impl Ipv4Addr`
[src]

#### `fn new(a: u8, b: u8, c: u8, d: u8) -> Ipv4Addr`

Creates a new IPv4 address from four eight-bit octets.

The result will represent the IP address `a`.`b`.`c`.`d`.

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    let addr = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);Run

#### `fn octets(&self) -> [u8; 4]`

Returns the four eight-bit integers that make up this address.

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    let addr = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
    assert_eq!(addr.octets(), [127, 0, 0, 1]);Run

#### `fn is_unspecified(&self) -> bool`
1.12.0

Returns true for the special 'unspecified' address (0.0.0.0).

This property is defined in UNIX Network Programming, Second Edition, W. Richard Stevens, p. 891; see also ip7.

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0).is_unspecified(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(45, 22, 13, 197).is_unspecified(), false);Run

#### `fn is_loopback(&self) -> bool`
1.7.0

Returns true if this is a loopback address (127.0.0.0/8).

This property is defined by RFC 1122.

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1).is_loopback(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(45, 22, 13, 197).is_loopback(), false);Run

#### `fn is_private(&self) -> bool`
1.7.0

Returns true if this is a private address.

The private address ranges are defined in RFC 1918 and include:

- 10.0.0.0/8
- 172.16.0.0/12
- 192.168.0.0/16

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 0, 0, 1).is_private(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 10, 10, 10).is_private(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 16, 10, 10).is_private(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 29, 45, 14).is_private(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 32, 0, 2).is_private(), false);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 0, 2).is_private(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 169, 0, 2).is_private(), false);Run

#### `fn is_link_local(&self) -> bool`
1.7.0

Returns true if the address is link-local (169.254.0.0/16).

This property is defined by RFC 3927.

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(169, 254, 0, 0).is_link_local(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(169, 254, 10, 65).is_link_local(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(16, 89, 10, 65).is_link_local(), false);Run

#### `fn is_global(&self) -> bool`

Unstable (`ip` #27709)

: extra functionality has not been scrutinized to the level that it should be stable

Returns true if the address appears to be globally routable. See iana-ipv4-special-registry.

The following return false:

- private address (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16)
- the loopback address (127.0.0.0/8)
- the link-local address (169.254.0.0/16)
- the broadcast address (255.255.255.255/32)
- test addresses used for documentation (192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24)
- the unspecified address (0.0.0.0)

# Examples

    #![feature(ip)]

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    fn main() {
        assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 254, 0, 0).is_global(), false);
        assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 10, 65).is_global(), false);
        assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 16, 10, 65).is_global(), false);
        assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0).is_global(), false);
        assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(80, 9, 12, 3).is_global(), true);
    }Run

#### `fn is_multicast(&self) -> bool`
1.7.0

A broadcast address has all octets set to 255 as defined in RFC 919.

# Examples

    use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 255).is_broadcast(), true);

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
