new(addr = '::', family = Socket::AF_UNSPEC)
public
Creates a new ipaddr object either
from a human readable IP address representation in string, or from a packed
in_addr value followed by an address
family.
In the former case, the following are the valid formats that will be
recognized: "address", "address/prefixlen" and
"address/mask", where IPv6 address may be enclosed in square
brackets (`[’ and `]’). If a prefixlen or a mask is specified, it returns a masked IP
address. Although the address family is determined automatically from a
specified string, you can specify one explicitly by the optional second
argument.
Otherwise an IP addess is generated from a packed in_addr value and an address family.
The IPAddr class defines many methods and
operators, and some of those, such as &, |, include? and ==, accept a string, or a
packed in_addr value instead of an IPAddr object.
