Detailed Description

An IP address and port.

Currently only IPv4 addresses are supported, but this class may encapsulate IPv6 addresses as well in the future.

Public Types
typedef unsigned int	port
	The type used to represent a port.
Public Methods
	inet_address ()
	Constructs an empty address.
	inet_address (port pt)
	Constructs an address from a port (using INADDR_ANY as the host).
	inet_address (string ip, port pt=0)
	Constructs an address from a host name and port.
	inet_address (string ip, string pt)
	Constructs an address from a host name and port string.
	inet_address (const address &other)
	Coerces an address to an IP address, yielding an empty address if the address is not an IP address.
string	get_host () const
	Returns the host as a dotted-quad string.
string	get_hostname () const
	Returns the hostname, as obtained by gethostbyaddr.
port	get_port () const
	Returns the port (or zero if none).
string	as_string () const
	Returns a human-readable version of this address.
	NMSTL_SIMPLY_SERIALIZABLE (inet_address,<< addr)
Static Public Methods
string	local_hostname ()
Protected Methods
const sockaddr_in *	inetaddr () const

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef unsigned int inet_address::port

The type used to represent a port.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

inet_address::inet_address (    )

Constructs an empty address.

inet_address::inet_address (  port    pt )

Constructs an address from a port (using INADDR_ANY as the host).

inet_address::inet_address (  string    ip, port    pt = 0 )

Constructs an address from a host name and port. If the host name is not a dotted quad, this constructor will call gethostbyname to look up the address and thus may block.

inet_address::inet_address (  string    ip, string    pt )

Constructs an address from a host name and port string. If the host name is not a dotted quad, this constructor will call gethostbyname to look up the address and thus may block.

inet_address::inet_address (  const address &    other )  [explicit]

Coerces an address to an IP address, yielding an empty address if the address is not an IP address.

Member Function Documentation

string inet_address::as_string (    )  const

Returns a human-readable version of this address. Reimplemented from address.

string inet_address::get_host (    )  const

Returns the host as a dotted-quad string.

string inet_address::get_hostname (    )  const

Returns the hostname, as obtained by gethostbyaddr. This method may block.

port inet_address::get_port (    )  const

Returns the port (or zero if none).

const sockaddr_in* inet_address::inetaddr (    )  const [protected]

string inet_address::local_hostname (    )  [static]

inet_address::NMSTL_SIMPLY_SERIALIZABLE (  inet_address   , <<    addr )
