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 InetAddress.

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.
