Member Function Documentation

getLocalIP() [1/2]

static QHostAddress AddressHelper::getLocalIP ( )

static

Get the local machine's primary IPv4 address.

Returns

The local IPv4 QHostAddress

getLocalIP() [2/2]

static QHostAddress AddressHelper::getLocalIP ( const QStringList &  allowedInterfaces )

static

Get the local machine's IPv4 address, filtered by allowed interface names.

Parameters

allowedInterfaces

List of interface name patterns to consider

Returns

The matching local IPv4 QHostAddress

resolveIPv4Address()

static QHostAddress AddressHelper::resolveIPv4Address ( const QString &  hostName )

static

Resolve a hostname to its IPv4 address.

Parameters

hostName

Hostname or IP address string to resolve

Returns

Resolved QHostAddress, or QHostAddress() on failure

tryParseAddressPort() [1/2]

static bool AddressHelper::tryParseAddressPort ( const QString &  addressString, QHostAddress &  address, quint16 &  port  )

static

Parse a combined "address:port" string into a QHostAddress and port.

Parameters

addressString	Combined address and port string (e.g. "192.168.1.1:8080")
address	Output QHostAddress receiving the parsed address
port	Output variable receiving the port number

Returns

true if parsing succeeded, false otherwise

tryParseAddressPort() [2/2]

static bool AddressHelper::tryParseAddressPort ( const QString &  addressString, QString &  address, quint16 &  port  )

static

Parse a combined "address:port" string into its components.

Parameters

addressString	Combined address and port string (e.g. "192.168.1.1:8080")
address	Output string receiving the address portion
port	Output variable receiving the port number

Returns

true if parsing succeeded, false otherwise
