Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object against the specified object

Overrides:

equals in class InetAddress

Parameters:

obj - The address to test for equality

Returns:

true if the passed in object's address is equal to this one's, false otherwise

getAddress

public byte[] getAddress()

Returns the raw IP address of this InetAddress object. The result is in network byte order: the highest order byte of the address is i n getAddress()[0]

Overrides:

getAddress in class InetAddress

Returns:

IP address

getByAddress

public static Inet6Address getByAddress(String host,
                                        byte[] addr,
                                        int scopeId)
                                 throws UnknownHostException

Creates a scoped Inet6Address where the scope has an integer id.

Throws:

UnkownHostException - if the address is an invalid number of bytes.

UnknownHostException

Overrides:

getHostAddress in class InetAddress

Returns:
