falseeui_64(prefix, mac)
@spec eui_64(t(), binary()) :: {:ok, IP.Address.t()} | {:error, term()}
Generate an EUI-64 host address within the specifed IPv6 prefix.
EUI-64 addresses can only be generated for 64 bit long IPv6 prefixes.

Examples
iex> ~i(2001:db8::/64)

@spec eui_64!(t(), binary()) :: IP.Address.t()
Generate an EUI-64 host address within the specifed IPv6 prefix.
EUI-64 addresses can only be generated for 64 bit long IPv6 prefixes.
examples
Examples
iex> ~i(2001:db8::/64)

#IP.Address<2001:db8::62f8:1dff:fead:d890 DOCUMENTATION>first(prefix)
@spec first(t()) :: IP.Address.t()
Returns the first address in the prefix.
examples
Examples
iex> ~i(192.0.2.128/24)

#IP.Address<192.0.2.0 DOCUMENTATION>
iex> ~i(2001:db8::128/64)
...> |> IP.Prefix.first()
#IP.Address<2001:db8:: DOCUMENTATION>from_string(prefix)
Create a prefix by attempting to parse a string of unknown version.
Calling from_string/2 is faster if you know the IP version of the prefix.
