willyw,
One of the main uses for the 'longip' version with eggdrops are for dcc chat/send requests

You may convert it into normal ip useing this proc from fsck function library v1.19 by perpleXa:

Code:

# longip: Converts the long value of an ip to it's dotted quad ip.proc longtoip {long} {  format "%u.%u.%u.%u" [expr $long>>24] [expr ($long>>16)&255] [expr ($long>>8)&255] [expr $long&255];}

It is the 32bit representation of your IP-address. Given the IP-address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, the 'long-IP' would be (2^24)*aaa+(2^16)*bbb+(2^8)*ccc+ddd.

Thanks for explaining.

It is interesting. How would one make use of it though?

Hello,

Was fiddling around with something, and in in tcl-commands.doc I found the
myip command.
Tried this, from partyline:
.tcl putserv "privmsg mynick : [myip] "

and the bot promptly sent me a ten digit number.

What is it? some sort of encoding of the bot's true ip number?

Thanks
