Class `std.socket.Address`

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 and overloads for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents. A class will most likely want to add an overload that takes your specific type as the argument and does the content comparison. Then you can override this and forward it to your specific typed overload with a cast. Remember to check for `null` on the typed overload.
`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);
