join.ipaddresses - Acceptable formats for string representations
of IP addresses
A character string representation of an IP address, as
used within JOIN, is written as one, two, three, or four
numeric fields with a period (.), separating each field,
and without interleaving whitespace. Each field corresponds
to an octet, and therefore can have a value in the
range 0..255 (decimal). Each of the octets may be written
as a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal number, and there is
no requirement that each octet have the same radix. Octal
values commence with a leading zero (0); hex values commence
with either 0x or 0X.
When an address is written with fewer than four octets,
the missing bytes are interpolated according to the following
scheme, which shows how they would have been written
with all four octets present:
aaa.bbb.ddd aaa.bbb.0.ddd
aaa.ddd aaa.0.0.ddd
ddd 0.0.0.ddd
192.245.139.33
0xc0.245.139.041
192.33
0x21
