<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
60
<p>The QHostAddress class provides an IP address.</p>
61
<p>This class holds an IPv4 or IPv6 address in a platform- and protocol-independent manner.</p>
62
<p>QHostAddress is normally used with the <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a>, <a href="qtcpserver.html">QTcpServer</a>, and <a href="qudpsocket.html">QUdpSocket</a> to connect to a host or to set up a server.</p>
63
<p>A host address is set with <a href="qhostaddress.html#setAddress">setAddress</a>(), checked for its type using <a href="qhostaddress-qt3.html#isIPv4Address">isIPv4Address</a>() or <a href="qhostaddress-qt3.html#isIPv6Address">isIPv6Address</a>(), and retrieved with <a href="qhostaddress.html#toIPv4Address">toIPv4Address</a>(), <a href="qhostaddress.html#toIPv6Address">toIPv6Address</a>(), or <a href="qhostaddress.html#toString">toString</a>().</p>
64
<p>The class also supports common predefined addresses: <a href="qhostaddress.html#SpecialAddress-enum">Null</a>, <a href="qhostaddress.html#SpecialAddress-enum">LocalHost</a>, <a href="qhostaddress.html#SpecialAddress-enum">LocalHostIPv6</a>, <a href="qhostaddress.html#SpecialAddress-enum">Broadcast</a>, and <a href="qhostaddress.html#SpecialAddress-enum">Any</a>.</p>
65
<p>See also <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a>, <a href="qtcpserver.html">QTcpServer</a>, and <a href="qudpsocket.html">QUdpSocket</a>.</p>
