DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a widget for the entering of a IP address.

       ::ipentry::ipentry pathName ?option value...?
	      Creates a new IPv4 ipentry widget and configures it with the given options and their values.

       ::ipentry::ipentry6 pathName ?option value...?
	      Creates a new ipentry widget for the entry of an IPv6 address. All options are the same as the IPv4 widget.

       Each widget created with the command above supports the following methods:

       pathName complete
	      Returns  a  boolean  value.  True  indicates that the entry contains a complete IP address, meaning all fields have a value. In some
	      cases IPv6 address are valid when fields are missing. You will need to do your own validation to detect this.

       pathName get
	      Returns the contents of the entry as a list consisting of 4 or 8 elements.

       pathName insert iplist
	      IPv4 Takes a list of 4 elements and inserts one into each quad of the entry, in order.  All values in the  list  must  be  empty	or
	      integers.  Values  outside  the range 0 to 255 are modified to be within the range.  IPv6 Takes a list of 8 elements and inserts one
	      into each quad of the entry, in order.  All values in the list must be empty or 1 to 4 hex digits.

       pathName icursor index
	      Sets the position of the widgets insertion cursor. Only integer values between 0 and 15 are valid for ipentry and 0 to 31 for  ipen-
	      try6.  Setting the icursor will only have an effect if the widget already has the input focus.

       pathName configure option value...
	      Modifies the configuration of the widget. For options and their meaning see the widget options section.

       pathName cget option
	      Returns  information  about the current configuration of the widget, for the specified option. For options and their meaning see the
	      widget options section.
