JDK 1.0 or later
The InetAddress class encapsulates an Internet Protocol (IP) address. InetAddress objects are used by the various classes that are responsible for specifying the destination addresses of outbound network packets, such as DatagramSocket, MulticastSocket, and Socket. InetAddress does not provide any public constructors. Instead, you must use the static methods getAllByName(), getByName(), and getLocalHost() to create InetAddress objects.
public final class java.net.InetAddress extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable {
// Class Methods
public static InetAddress[] getAllByName(String host);
public static InetAddress getByName(String host);
public static InetAddress getLocalHost();
// Instance Methods
public boolean equals(Object obj);
public byte[] getAddress();
public String getHostAddress(); // New in 1.1
public String getHostName();
public int hashCode();
public boolean isMulticastAddress(); // New in 1.1
public String toString();
}
public static InetAddress[] getAllByName(String host) throws UnknownHostException
A String that contains a hostname.
An array of InetAddress objects that corresponds to the given name.
If the application is not allowed to connect to host.
If host cannot be resolved.
This method finds all of the IP addresses that correspond to the given hostname. The hostname can be a machine name, such as "almond.nuts.com", or a string representation of an IP address, such as "208.25.146.1".
public static InetAddress getByName(String host) throws UnknownHostException
A String that contains a host name.
An InetAddress that corresponds to the given name.
If the application is not allowed to connect to host.
If host cannot be resolved.
This method returns the primary IP address that correspond to the given hostname. The hostname can be a machine name, such as "almond.nuts.com", or a string representation of an IP address, such as "208.25.146.1".
public static InetAddress getLocalHost() throws UnknownHostException
An InetAddress that corresponds to the name of the local machine.
If the application is not allowed to connect to host.
If host cannot be resolved.
This method finds the IP address of the local machine.
The object to be compared with this object.
true if the objects are equivalent; false if they are not.
Object.equals()
This method returns true if obj is an instance of InetAddress that specifies the same IP address as the object this method is associated with.
A byte array with elements that correspond to the bytes of the IP address that this object represents.
This method returns the IP address associated with this object as an array of bytes in network order. That means that the first element of the array contains the highest order byte, and the last element of the array contains the lowest order byte.
New as of JDK 1.1
A String that contains the IP address of this object.
This method returns a string representation of the IP address associated with this object. For example: "206.175.64.78".
The hostname associated with this object.
In most cases, this method returns the hostname that corresponds to the IP address associated with this object. However, there are a few special cases:
The hashcode based on the IP address of the object.
Object.hashCode()
This method returns a hashcode for this object, based on the IP address associated with this object.
New as of JDK 1.1
true if this object represents a multicast address; false otherwise.
This method returns a flag that indicates if this object represents an IP multicast address. A multicast address is a Class D address, which means that its four highest-order bits are set to 1110. In other words, multicast addresses are in the range 224.0.0.1 through 239.255.255.255 inclusive.
The string representation of this InetAddress.
Object.toString()
This method returns a String that contains both the hostname and IP address of this object.
