About
¶ ↑
This library provides functionality to parse the IP information for a host. It is designed with a limited feature set based on what is necessary for the VMware Continuent project.
Platform Specifics
¶ ↑
On Linux platforms, the library will only return values where the link encapsulation is ‘Ethernet’. This eliminates loopback and specialty devices.
Known Limitations
¶ ↑
The ipparse library does not support interfaces that include multiple IPV6 addresses on a single interface. It will identify the first address and return that. Any additional addresses will be ignored.
