Return the address as a string.

Synopsis

Declared in header </boost/url/ipv6_address.hpp#L223[boost/url/ipv6_address.hpp,window=blank_]>

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.

Example

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" );

Complexity

Constant.

Exception Safety

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