Whether a string is a valid IPv6 address.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare function isValid6(ip: string): boolean;
```

## Parameters


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ip | string | the string to test |


**Returns:**

boolean

`true` only for IPv6; a valid IPv4 address gives `false`.

## Remarks

Node's `net.isIPv6`, so the IPv4-mapped form `::ffff:1.2.3.4` counts as IPv6.
