Description

Reading through liboml(2), it appears that it only supports IPv4:

“[tcp|udp]:[//]<host>:<port>
[...]
For instance, tcp:10.0.0.200:3003 or tcp://10.0.0.200:3003”

Is it just the documentation not mentioning IPv6, or is it the library which doesn't support it?

One would think of something like tcp://[2001:db8::1]:3003 [RFC5952,RFC3986].

Also, is it mandatory to pass an IP address here? Name resolution (which hides the AF) would be desirable.

IPv6 is not supported, but you should be able to use domain names instead of IP addresses (the library uses gethostbyname() to resolve network addresses).
