Inherited by inet_address.

List of all members.

Detailed Description

A network address (e.g., an IPv4 or IPv6 address and port, or a UNIX-domain socket path).

Addresses, like STL strings, may be passed and copied by value.

Public Methods
	address ()
	Constructs an empty address.
	address (const void *addr, socklen_t len)
	Constructs an address from a block of data.
const sockaddr *	data () const
	Returns a pointer to the data as a sockaddr.
socklen_t	length () const
	Returns the length of the address structure.
const string &	data_as_string () const
	Returns the address structure as a string.
	operator const void * () const
	Returns a non-null pointer if and only if this address is non-empty.
string	as_string () const
	Returns a human-readable version of the string.
	NMSTL_ARITH_OPS (address, data_as_string())
	NMSTL_SIMPLY_SERIALIZABLE (address,<< addr)
Protected Attributes
string	addr

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

address::address (    )

Constructs an empty address.

address::address (  const void *    addr, socklen_t    len )

Constructs an address from a block of data.

Member Function Documentation

string address::as_string (    )

Returns a human-readable version of the string. Reimplemented in inet_address.

const sockaddr* address::data (    )  const

Returns a pointer to the data as a sockaddr.

const string& address::data_as_string (    )  const

Returns the address structure as a string. The string is not human-readable; rather it is a string equal to string(this->data(), this->length()).

socklen_t address::length (    )  const

Returns the length of the address structure.

address::NMSTL_ARITH_OPS (  address   , data_as_string()    )

address::NMSTL_SIMPLY_SERIALIZABLE (  address   , <<    addr )

address::operator const void * (    )  const

Returns a non-null pointer if and only if this address is non-empty. This exists primarily to enable the "if (address) { ... }" metaphor.
