  body: "In the former case, the following are the valid formats that will be recognized: &quot;address&quot;, &quot;address/prefixlen&quot; and &quot;address/mask&quot;, where IPv6 address may be enclosed in square brackets (`[' and `]'). If a prefixlen or a mask is specified, it returns a masked IP address. Although the address family is determined automatically from a specified string, you can specify one explicitly by the optional second argument."
