Rule for An IP version 6 style address.

Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/url/rfc/ipv6_address_rule.hpp>

constexpr implementation-defined ipv6_address_rule;

Value Type

using value_type = ipv6_address;

Example

Rules are used with the function grammar::parse.

result< ipv6_address > rv = grammar::parse( "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334", ipv6_address_rule );

BNF

IPv6address =                            6( h16 ":" ) ls32
            /                       "::" 5( h16 ":" ) ls32
            / [               h16 ] "::" 4( h16 ":" ) ls32
            / [ *1( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::" 3( h16 ":" ) ls32
            / [ *2( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::" 2( h16 ":" ) ls32
            / [ *3( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"    h16 ":"   ls32
            / [ *4( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"              ls32
            / [ *5( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"              h16
            / [ *6( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"

ls32        = ( h16 ":" h16 ) / IPv4address
            ; least-significant 32 bits of address

h16         = 1*4HEXDIG
            ; 16 bits of address represented in hexadecimal
