boost::urls::ipv6_address::to_string

Return the address as a string.

Synopsis

template<class StringToken = string_token::return_string>
StringToken::result_type
to_string(StringToken&& token) const;

Description

The returned string does not contain surrounding square brackets.

When called with no arguments, the return type is `std::string`. Otherwise, the return type and style of output is determined by which string token is passed.

ipv6_address::bytes_type b = {{ 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 0, 5, 0, 6, 0, 7, 0, 8 }}; ipv6_address a(b); assert(a.to_string() == "1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8"); assert( ipv4_address(0x01020304).to_string() == "1.2.3.4" );

Constant.

Strong guarantee.

Calls to allocate may throw. String tokens may throw exceptions.

Return Value

The return type of the string token. If the token parameter is omitted, then a new `std::string` is returned. Otherwise, the function return type is the result type of the token.
