pub fn inet_addr(s: &str) -> Option<Ipv4Addr>Expand description
Parse “loose” IPv4 address similar to POSIX inet_addr
This also accepts inputs that are not 4 decimal represented octects separated by dots.
- Allows less than 4 numbers separated by dots; the last number is interpreted as an 32-bit (no dot), 24-bit (1 dot), 16-bit (2 dots) number. Other numbers still must be octets (i.e. 8 bit)
- Allows hexadecimal (“0x” or “0X” prefix) and octal (“0” prefix) numbers in all places.
