Usage

Details

The module function accepts one IPv4 or IPv6 address argument.

IPv4 addresses are accepted with dotted x.x.x.x formatting without base conversion or subnet masking.

IPv6 addresses are accepted with long x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, short x::x or translated x:x:x:x:x:x:x.x.x.x formatting.

The return value is a number with an IP address version of either 4 or 6.

If the argument isn't a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, the return value is false.
