      • getSystemProperties

        @NotNull
        public static java.util.Properties getSystemProperties​(@Nullable
                                                               java.lang.String... propertyNames)
        Retrieves the set of currently defined system properties. If possible, this will simply return the result of a call to System.getProperties. However, the LDAP SDK is known to be used in environments where a security manager prevents setting system properties, and in that case, calls to System.getProperties will be rejected with a SecurityException because the returned structure is mutable and could be used to alter system property values. In such cases, a new empty Properties object will be created, and may optionally be populated with the values of a specific set of named properties.
        Parameters:
        propertyNames - An optional set of property names whose values (if defined) should be included in the Properties object that will be returned if a security manager prevents retrieving the full set of system properties. This may be null or empty if no specific properties should be retrieved.
        Returns:
        The value returned by a call to System.getProperties if possible, or a newly-created properties map (possibly including the values of a specified set of system properties) if it is not possible to get a mutable set of the system properties.

        s - The string to be processed. It must not be null.
        Returns:
        A cleaned version of the provided string in a form that will allow it to be displayed as the value of a command-line argument on.

        Retrieves the canonical host name for the provided address, if it can be resolved to a name.
        Parameters:
        nameResolver - The name resolver to use to obtain the canonical host name. If this is null, then the LDAP SDK's default name resolver will be used.
        address - The InetAddress for which to attempt to obtain the canonical host name.
        Returns:
        The canonical host name for the provided address, or null if it cannot be obtained (either because the attempt returns null, which shouldn't happen, or because it matches the IP address).

        Retrieves the canonical host names for the provided set of InetAddress objects. If any of the provided addresses cannot be resolved to a canonical host name (in which case the attempt to get the canonical host name will return its IP address), it will be excluded from the returned set.
        Parameters:
        nameResolver - The name resolver to use to obtain the canonical host names. If this is null, then the LDAP SDK's default name resolver will be used.
        addresses - The set of addresses for which to obtain the canonical host names.

        Retrieves a version of the provided host address with the interface name stripped off. Java sometimes follows an IP address with a percent sign and the interface name. If that interface name is present in the provided host address, then this method will trim it off, leaving just the IP address. If the provided host address does not include the interface name, then the provided address will be returned as-is.
        Parameters:
        hostAddress - The host address to be trimmed.
        Returns:
        The provided host address without the interface name.

If this is true, then this method will return true for addresses in a private-use network range; if it is false, then this method will return false for addresses in those ranges. This does not have any effect for addresses in other reserved address ranges.
        Returns:
        true if the provided address is in a reserved address range, or false if not.
