NAME
       join.ipaddresses	 - Acceptable formats for string representations of IP
       addresses

DESCRIPTION
       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

EXAMPLES
												       192.245.139.33
												       0xc0.245.139.041
												       192.33
												       0x21
