Address is an abstract class for representing a socket addresses.


						
				class Address
				;

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`addressFamily`[get]	`AddressFamily`	Family of this address.
`name`[get]	`core.sys.posix.sys.socket.sockaddr*`	Returns pointer to underlying `sockaddr` structure.
`nameLen`[get]	`uint`	Returns actual size of underlying `sockaddr` structure.

Methods

Name	Description
`toAddrString` ()	Attempts to retrieve the host address as a human-readable string.
`toHostNameString` ()	Attempts to retrieve the host name as a fully qualified domain name.
`toPortString` ()	Attempts to retrieve the numeric port number as a string.
`toServiceNameString` ()	Attempts to retrieve the service name as a string.
`toString` ()	Human readable string representing this address.
`factory` (classname)	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`opCmp` (o)	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals` (o)	Test whether `this` is equal to `o`. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the `is` operator). Generally, overrides for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.

Example

writeln("About www.google.com port 80:");
try
{
    Address[] addresses = getAddress("www.google.com", 80);
    writefln("  %d addresses found.", addresses.length);
    foreach (int i, Address a; addresses)
    {
        writefln("  Address %d:", i+1);
        writefln("    IP address: %s", a.toAddrString());
        writefln("    Hostname: %s", a.toHostNameString());
        writefln("    Port: %s", a.toPortString());
        writefln("    Service name: %s",
            a.toServiceNameString());
    }
}
catch (SocketException e)
    writefln("  Lookup error: %s", e.msg);
