## 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:
