icmp
ICMP

Next:<icmp> ( host -- icmp )


Vocabulary
io.sockets.icmp

Class description
Host name specifier for ICMP. The host slot holds the host name. New instances are created by calling <icmp>.

Notes
This address specifier can be used with resolve-host to obtain a list of IP addresses associated with the host name, and attempts a connection to each one in turn until one succeeds. Other network words do not accept this address specifier, and resolve-host must be called directly; it is then up to the application to pick the correct address from the (possibly several) addresses associated to the host name.

Examples
"www.apple.com" <icmp>
