Function hostname_is_ip_address 

Source 
pub fn hostname_is_ip_address(hostname: &str) -> bool
Expand description

Tests if @hostname is the string form of an IPv4 or IPv6 address. (Eg, “192.168.0.1”.)

Since 2.66, IPv6 addresses with a zone-id are accepted (RFC6874).

Note that this function only checks the syntax. It does not guarantee that the string will be accepted by the current OS and in particular by gio::InetAddress::new_from_string().

§Returns

true if @hostname is an IP address
