Description

Fact: ipaddress6

Purpose: Returns the "main" IPv6 IP address of a system.

Resolution:

OS dependant code that parses the output of various networking
tools and currently not very intelligent. Returns the first
non-loopback and non-linklocal address found in the ouput unless
a default route can be mapped to a routeable interface. Guessing
an interface is currently only possible with BSD type systems
to many assumptions have to be made on other platforms to make
this work with the current code. Most code ported or modeled
after the ipaddress fact for the sake of similar functionality
and familiar mechanics.

Caveats:
