Detailed Description

The DtInetEndpoint class provides a protocol independant, address family independent mechanism to represent the IP address, port, and protocol of one end of a network socket connection.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DtInetEndpoint::DtInetEndpoint ( )

Default Constructor.

DtInetEndpoint::DtInetEndpoint	(	const DtInetAddr &	addr,
		DtU16	port = `0`,
		DtInetProtocol	protocol = `DtInetProtocol_Unspecified`
	)

Constructor.

Takes a DtInetAddr representing the address, a protocol identifier, and a port number. Address family is assumed from the addr object. If addr is the ANY address for its family the endpoint will be considered a local endpoint which can be bound to any network interface on the host. If addr specifies the address of one of the local host's assigned IP addresses the endpoint will be a local endpoint which can only be bound to the interface that address is assigned to. The port parameter is optional for local endpoints. If port is not specified an ephemeral port may be selected by the socket this endpoint is associated multicast address the endpoint will be a destination endpoint. The port parameter must be set before a destination endpoint can be assigned to a socket.

DtInetEndpoint::DtInetEndpoint	(	DtString &	netResLoc,
		DtU16	port = `0`,
		DtInetProtocol	protocol = `DtInetProtocol_Unspecified`,
		DtInetUtils::DtInetAddrFamily	familyHint = `DtInetUtils::DtInetAddrFamily_IPv4`
	)

Constructor.

Takes a DtString representing a network resource locator, a port number, and a protocol identifier, and an address family hint and attempts to resolve the network resource locator to a host IP address. If the network resource locator contains an IPv4 or IPv6 address the endpoint address family is set to match. If the network resource locator specifies a remote hostname a DNS lookup is performed. If the network resource locator contains a port modifier the value in the network res- ource locator overrides the port parameter passed in the argument list. object. If network resource locator resolves to the local host the endpoint will be a local endpoint which can be bound to all interfaces. However if the network resource locator resolves to the device name of an interface on the localhost the endpoint will adopt the appropriate IP address for that interface based on the family hint. The endpoint can only be bound to the interface that address is assigned to. The port parameter is optional for local endpoints. If port is not specified an ephemeral port may be selected by the socket this endpoint is associated address, broadcast address, or multicast address the endpoint will be a destination endpoint. The port parameter must be set before a destination endpoint can be assigned to a socket.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const DtInetAddr& DtInetEndpoint::address ( ) const

virtual

virtual DtInetUtils::DtInetAddrFamily DtInetEndpoint::family ( ) const

virtual

Get the address family, IPv4 or IPv6.

virtual DtString DtInetEndpoint::getLastErrorString ( )

virtual

Return string describing last error and clear error indication.

virtual void DtInetEndpoint::hostLookup	(	DtString &	addr,
		DtU16	port = `0`,
		DtInetUtils::DtInetAddrFamily	familyHint = `DtInetUtils::DtInetAddrFamily_Both`
	)

virtual

Lookup the endpoint information via DNS.

If the protocol has been initialized when hostLookup is called a new Boost endpoint object will be created and any old Boost endpoint object safely destroyed.

void DtInetEndpoint::initEndpoint ( )

protected

virtual bool DtInetEndpoint::isIPv4 ( ) const

virtual

Return true if the endpoint matches the queried family or protocol.

virtual bool DtInetEndpoint::isIPv6 ( ) const

virtual

Return true if the endpoint matches the queried family or protocol.

virtual bool DtInetEndpoint::isOk ( )

virtual

Return indication that the endpoint is not in an error state.

Possible errors include: hostname lookup failed, invalid address

virtual bool DtInetEndpoint::isTcp ( ) const

virtual

Return true if the endpoint matches the queried family or protocol.

virtual bool DtInetEndpoint::isUdp ( ) const

virtual

Return true if the endpoint matches the queried family or protocol.

DtInetEndpoint& DtInetEndpoint::operator= ( const DtInetEndpoint & orig )

Assignment.

virtual DtU16 DtInetEndpoint::port ( ) const

virtual

virtual DtInetProtocol DtInetEndpoint::protocol ( ) const

virtual

virtual void DtInetEndpoint::setAddress ( const DtInetAddr & addr )

virtual

Set / get the address of the endpoint.

If the protocol has been initialized when setAddress is called a new Boost endpoint object will be created and any old Boost endpoint object safely destroyed.

virtual void DtInetEndpoint::setEndpoint	(	DtInetProtocol	protocol,
		const DtInetAddr &	addr,
		DtU16	port
	)

virtual

Set all endpoint parameters at once.

A new Boost endpoint object will be created.

virtual void DtInetEndpoint::setPort ( DtU16 port )

virtual

Set / get the port number of the endpoint.

If the protocol and address are initialized when setPort is called a new Boost endpoint object will be created and any old Boost endpoint object safely destroyed.

virtual void DtInetEndpoint::setProtocol ( DtInetProtocol protocol )

virtual

Set / get the protocol (DtInetProtocol_TCP or DtInetProtocol_UDP).

A new Boost endpoint object will be created whenever setProtocol is invoked and any old Boost endpoint object safely destroyed. Nevertheless it is advised that the address and port are initialized before calling setProtocol.

virtual void* DtInetEndpoint::tcpEndpoint ( )

virtual

Return the appropriate Boost class endpoint object.

virtual const DtString& DtInetEndpoint::toDtString ( bool showProtocol = false ) const

virtual

Return a DtString reporting the address, port, and (optionally) protocol of the endpoint.

The output will resemble one of the following depending upon the family of the address: IPv4: address:port or address:port (TCP | UDP) (address is in dotted decimal notation) IPv6: [address]:port or [address]:port (TCP | UDP) (address is in compact hexadecimal notation, scope included if set)

virtual int DtInetEndpoint::toSockaddr ( struct sockaddr_in * s )

virtual

Copy address, port, and family into sockaddr struct in network byte order.

Returns 0 on success, -1 on error.

virtual int DtInetEndpoint::toSockaddr ( struct sockaddr_in6 * s )

virtual

Copy address, port, and family into sockaddr struct in network byte order.

Returns 0 on success, -1 on error.
