ip_to_numeric takes IP addresses stored
in their human-readable representation ("192.168.0.1")
and converts it to a numeric representation (3232235521).
numeric_to_ip performs the same operation, but in reverse.
Due to limitations in R's support for colossally
big numbers, this currently only works for IPv4 IP addresses.
ip_to_numeric(ip_addresses) numeric_to_ip(ip_addresses)
| ip_addresses | a vector of IP addresses, in their numeric or dotted-decimal form depending on the function. |
|---|
For ip_to_numeric: a vector containing the numeric representation of ip_addresses.
If an IP is invalid (either because it's an Ipv6 address, or isn't an IP address
at all) the returned value for that IP will be 0.
For numeric_to_ip: a vector containing the dotted-decimal representation of ip_addresses,
as character strings. If a value cannot be resolved to an IPv4 address, it will appear as "0.0.0.0" or
an empty string.
