ibis_dcc_host_parse (

Description [src]
Parses the host value from a DCC request.
The host parameter of a DCC request is the integer representation for IPv4
and the hex representation for IPv6. This function will attempt to parse
either into a valid GInetAddress.
This will properly parse a positive 32 bit integer like 2130706433 into
an IPv4 address of 127.0.0.1 and for IPv6 addresses it will parse the
normal hexadecimal representation like ::1 to a localhost address.
