+/// A helper type for specifying an IP address in the configuartion
+///
+/// This type wraps a [std::net::SocketAddr](std::net::SocketAddr) for specifying an IP address in
+/// the configuration. It implements [tedge_api::AsConfig](tedge_api::AsConfig) for convenient use.

+
+                A socket address can either be an IPv4 address:
+
+                ```toml
+                "127.0.0.1"
+                ```
+
+                Or an IPv6 address:
+
+                ```toml
+                "::1"
+                ```
+            "#}),
+        )
+    }
