Description

Objects of type ipv6-address represent an IPv6 address.

ipv6-address objects are normally created by get-host-entry. They can also be created by parse-ipv6-address.

ipv6-address can be used whereever an IP address is needed, most commonly open-tcp-stream, except that ipv6-address-string takes only an IPv4 address (that is, integers).

ipv6-address may contain a scope ID, which is not really part of the address, but is needed for using local addresses.
