Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Configuration	Comments
ip string / required			A string that represents the value against which the test is going to be performed For example: ::FFFF:10.1.1.1, ::AAAA:10.1.1.1, or "helloworld"

Examples

#### Simple examples

- name: Check if ::FFFF:10.1.1.1 is a valid IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    data: "{{ '::FFFF:10.1.1.1' is ansible.utils.ipv6_ipv4_mapped }}"

# TASK [Check if ::FFFF:10.1.1.1 is a valid IPv4-mapped IPv6 address] *************
# ok: [localhost] => {
#     "ansible_facts": {
#         "data": true
#     },
#     "changed": false
# }

- name: Check if ::AAAA:10.1.1.1 is not a valid IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    data: "{{ '::AAAA:10.1.1.1' is not ansible.utils.ipv6_ipv4_mapped }}"

# TASK [Check if ::AAAA:10.1.1.1 is not a valid IPv4-mapped IPv6 address] ******************
# ok: [localhost] => {
#     "ansible_facts": {
#         "data": true
#     },
#     "changed": false
# }

- name: Check if helloworld is not a valid IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    data: "{{ 'helloworld' is not ansible.utils.ipv6_ipv4_mapped }}"

# TASK [Check if helloworld is not a valid IPv4-mapped IPv6 address] ***********************
# ok: [localhost] => {
#     "ansible_facts": {
#         "data": true
#     },
#     "changed": false
# }

Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
