CountHostAddresses:Int32 host_name:String

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
host_name	In	String	required	A host name such as localhost, or an address as text. Brackets around an IPv6 address are allowed.

Returns: The number of addresses.

Description

Looks up a host name and returns how many addresses it has, IPv4 and IPv6. Use GetHostAddress to get them as text. A name that cannot be found returns 0. An empty name is this computer, which has one address for every network interface that is up: the ones other computers can reach first, then the ones that only work on the same network (fe80::), and the loopback addresses (127.0.0.1, ::1) last.

Differences

• Not in the original, which only knows IPv4 (CountHostIPs). See IPv6.

Examples

Print CountHostAddresses("127.0.0.1")
Print GetHostAddress$(1)

1
127.0.0.1
