Easy IP address handling with iptools
iptools is a set of tools for working with IP addresses. The aim is to provide functionality not presently available with any existing R package and to do so with as much speed as possible. To that end, many of the operations are written inRcpp and require installation of theAsioHeaders package. A current, lofty goal is to mimic most of the functionality of the Pythoniptools module and make IP addresses first class R objects.
Availableon CRAN
NEW FOR 0.3.0.x+!
Thanks to @eddelbuettel we’ve thinned down this version ofiptools and it should also work on Windows now!
Functionality
The package primarily supports IPv4 addresses due to deficiencies in R’s support for large numbers, but there is IPv6 support for some functionality, and we plan to build more in as R improves and as we do. Functionality includes:
- Converting IP addresses to their numeric form, and then back to strings, with
ip_to_numericandnumeric_to_ip; - Validating and classifying IP addresses with
ip_classify; - Range generation and checking with
range_boundaries,range_generateandvalidate_range,country_ranges, and; - Several inbuilt IP-related datasets.
For more information, see the vignettes onthe functionality andthe datasets withiniptools.
Installation
To install the development version:
devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/iptools")# orinstall.packages("iptools")iptools depends on theAsioHeaders package which is now in CRAN.
