Enum nix::sys::socket::SockAddr

pub enum SockAddr {
    Inet(InetAddr),
    Unix(UnixAddr),
    Netlink(NetlinkAddr),
    Alg(AlgAddr),
    Link(LinkAddr),
}

Represents a socket address

Datalink address (MAC)

Methods

impl SockAddr

pub fn new_inet(addr: InetAddr) -> SockAddr

pub fn new_unix<P: ?Sized + NixPath>(path: &P) -> Result<SockAddr>

pub fn new_netlink(pid: u32, groups: u32) -> SockAddr

pub fn new_alg(alg_type: &str, alg_name: &str) -> SockAddr

pub fn family(&self) -> AddressFamily

pub fn to_str(&self) -> String

pub unsafe fn from_libc_sockaddr(addr: *const sockaddr) -> Option<SockAddr>

Creates a SockAddr struct from libc's sockaddr.

Supports only the following address families: Unix, Inet (v4 & v6), Netlink and System. Returns None for unsupported families.

pub unsafe fn as_ffi_pair(&self) -> (&sockaddr, socklen_t)

Conversion from nix's SockAddr type to the underlying libc sockaddr type.

This is useful for interfacing with other libc functions that don't yet have nix wrappers. Returns a reference to the underlying data type (as a sockaddr reference) along with the size of the actual data type. sockaddr is commonly used as a proxy for a superclass as C doesn't support inheritance, so many functions that take a sockaddr * need to take the size of the underlying type as well and then internally cast it back.

Trait Implementations
