whois method

  1. @override
Future<TailscaleNodeIdentity?> whois(
  1. String ip
)
override

Resolves a tailnet IP to the node's identity — stable node ID, owner login, hostname, and ACL tags — by querying the local LocalAPI.

Returns null if ip is not known on the current tailnet. Useful for authorization decisions on incoming connections: combine with tcp .bind(...) and check TailscaleNodeIdentity.tags before handling. See tailscale.com/kb/1068/tags for the tag model.

Implementation

@override
Future<TailscaleNodeIdentity?> whois(String ip) {
  _requireInitialized();
  return _worker.whois(ip);
}
