Public Methods

Return	Name	Description
	`Address`	Creates a wildcard (all zero) IPv4 Address.
	`Address`	Creates an Address from an IP address and a port number.
	`Address`	Creates an Address by copying another one.
	`Address`	Creates an Address from a native socket address.
	`Address`	Creates an Address from an IP address and a service name or port number.
	`Address` `explicit`	Creates an Address from an IP address or host name and a port number/service name. Host name/address and port number must be separated by a colon. In case of an IPv6 address, the address part must be enclosed in brackets.
	`~Address`	Destroys the Address.
`Address &`	`operator=`	Assigns another Address.
`void`	`swap`	Swaps the Address with another one.
`std::string`	`host` `const`	Returns the host IP address.
`uint16_t`	`port` `const`	Returns the port number.
`socklen_t`	`length` `const`	Returns the length of the internal native socket address.
`const struct sockaddr *`	`addr` `const`	Returns a pointer to the internal native socket address.
`int`	`af` `const`	Returns the address family (AF_INET or AF_INET6) of the address.

`Address::Family`	`family` `const`	Returns the address family of the host's address.
`bool`	`valid` `const`	Returns true when the port is set and the address is valid ie. not wildcard.
`bool`	`operator<` `const`	Compares two addresses for ordering (by family then port).
`bool`	`operator==` `const`	Returns true if the host and port of both addresses are equal.
`bool`	`operator!=` `const`	Returns true if the host or port of the addresses differ.

Address

Address()

Creates a wildcard (all zero) IPv4 Address.

Address

Address(const std::string & host, uint16_t port)

Creates an Address from an IP address and a port number.

The IP address must either be a domain name, or it must be in dotted decimal (IPv4) or hex string (IPv6) format.

Address

Address(const Address & addr)

Creates an Address by copying another one.

Address

Address(const struct sockaddr * addr, socklen_t length)

Creates an Address from a native socket address.

Address

Address(const std::string & host, const std::string & port)

Creates an Address from an IP address and a service name or port number.

The IP address must either be a domain name, or it must be in dotted decimal (IPv4) or hex string (IPv6) format.

The given port must either be a decimal port number, or a service name.

Address

explicit

explicit Address(const std::string & hostAndPort)

Creates an Address from an IP address or host name and a port number/service name. Host name/address and port number must be separated by a colon. In case of an IPv6 address, the address part must be enclosed in brackets.

~Address

~Address() noexcept

Destroys the Address.

operator=

Address & operator=(const Address & addr)

Assigns another Address.

swap

void swap(Address & addr)

Swaps the Address with another one.

host

const

std::string host() const

Returns the host IP address.

port

const

uint16_t port() const

Returns the port number.

length

const

socklen_t length() const

Returns the length of the internal native socket address.

addr

const

const struct sockaddr * addr() const

Returns a pointer to the internal native socket address.

af

const

int af() const

Returns the address family (AF_INET or AF_INET6) of the address.

toString

const

std::string toString() const

Returns a string representation of the address.

family

const

Address::Family family() const

Returns the address family of the host's address.

valid

const

bool valid() const

Returns true when the port is set and the address is valid ie. not wildcard.

operator<

const

bool operator<(const Address & addr) const

Compares two addresses for ordering (by family then port).

Parameters

addr The address to compare against.

Returns

true if this address is less than addr.

operator==

const

bool operator==(const Address & addr) const

Returns true if the host and port of both addresses are equal.

Parameters

addr The address to compare against.

operator!=

const

bool operator!=(const Address & addr) const

Returns true if the host or port of the addresses differ.

Parameters

addr The address to compare against.

Public Static Methods

Return	Name	Description
