  body: "In the former case, the following are the valid formats that will be recognized: "address", "address/prefixlen" and "address/mask", 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."
