## jcifs
Class UniAddress

    java.lang.Object
      jcifs.UniAddress

    public class UniAddress

extends java.lang.Object

Under normal conditions it is not necessary to use this class to use jCIFS properly. Name resolusion is handled internally to the `jcifs.smb` package.

This class is a wrapper for both `NbtAddress` and `InetAddress`. The name resolution mechanisms used will systematically query all available configured resolution services including WINS, broadcasts, DNS, and LMHOSTS. See Setting Name Resolution Properties and the `jcifs.resolveOrder` property. Changing jCIFS name resolution properties can greatly affect the behavior of the client and may be necessary for proper operation.

This class should be used in favor of `InetAddress` to resolve hostnames on LANs and WANs that support a mixture of NetBIOS/WINS and DNS resolvable hosts.

Constructor Summary
`UniAddress(java.lang.Object addr)` Create a `UniAddress` by wrapping an `InetAddress` or `NbtAddress`.

Method Summary
`boolean` `equals(java.lang.Object obj)` Compare two addresses for equality.
`java.lang.String` `firstCalledName()` Guess first called name to try for session establishment.
`java.lang.Object` `getAddress()` Return the underlying `NbtAddress` or `InetAddress`.
`static UniAddress[]` `getAllByName(java.lang.String hostname, boolean possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup)`
`static UniAddress` `getByName(java.lang.String hostname)` Determines the address of a host given it's host name.
`static UniAddress` `getByName(java.lang.String hostname, boolean possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup)` Lookup `hostname` and return it's `UniAddress`.
`java.lang.String` `getHostAddress()` Return the IP address as text such as "192.168.1.15".
`java.lang.String` `getHostName()` Return the hostname of this address such as "MYCOMPUTER".
`int` `hashCode()` Return the IP address of this address as a 32 bit integer.
`java.lang.String` `nextCalledName()` Guess next called name to try for session establishment.
`java.lang.String` `toString()` Return the a text representation of this address such as `MYCOMPUTER/192.168.1.15`.

Constructor Detail

### UniAddress

    public UniAddress(java.lang.Object addr)

  Create a `UniAddress` by wrapping an `InetAddress` or `NbtAddress`.

Method Detail

### getByName

    public static UniAddress getByName(java.lang.String hostname)
                                throws java.net.UnknownHostException

  Determines the address of a host given it's host name. The name can be a machine name like "jcifs.samba.org", or an IP address like "192.168.1.15".

  Parameters:
    `hostname` - NetBIOS or DNS hostname to resolve
  Throws:
    `java.net.UnknownHostException` - if there is an error resolving the name

### getByName

    public static UniAddress getByName(java.lang.String hostname,
                                       boolean possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup)
                                throws java.net.UnknownHostException

  Lookup `hostname` and return it's `UniAddress`. If the `possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup` parameter is `true` an addtional name query will be performed to locate a master browser.

  Throws:
    `java.net.UnknownHostException`

### getAllByName

    public static UniAddress[] getAllByName(java.lang.String hostname,
                                            boolean possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup)
                                     throws java.net.UnknownHostException

  Throws:
    `java.net.UnknownHostException`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Return the IP address of this address as a 32 bit integer.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Compare two addresses for equality. Two `UniAddress`s are equal if they are both `UniAddress`' and refer to the same IP address.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`

### firstCalledName

    public java.lang.String firstCalledName()

  Guess first called name to try for session establishment. This method is used exclusively by the `jcifs.smb` package.

### nextCalledName

    public java.lang.String nextCalledName()

  Guess next called name to try for session establishment. This method is used exclusively by the `jcifs.smb` package.

### getAddress

    public java.lang.Object getAddress()

  Return the underlying `NbtAddress` or `InetAddress`.

### getHostName

    public java.lang.String getHostName()

  Return the hostname of this address such as "MYCOMPUTER".

### getHostAddress

    public java.lang.String getHostAddress()

  Return the IP address as text such as "192.168.1.15".

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Return the a text representation of this address such as `MYCOMPUTER/192.168.1.15`.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
