Class InetAddresses

output/java_guava/1.4.16/InetAddresses.java:101–1020

Static utility methods pertaining to InetAddress instances. Important note: Unlike InetAddress.getByName(), the methods of this class never cause DNS services to be accessed. For this reason, you should prefer these methods as much as possible over their JDK equivalents wh
