== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
(((socket, address)))(((address, socket)))
|
|
An `nng_sockaddr` is a structure used for
|
|
representing the addresses used by underlying transports, such as TCP/IP
|
|
addresses, IPC paths, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
****
|
|
The name `sockaddr` is based on its similarity with POSIX `struct sockaddr`,
|
|
but in _NNG_, these addresses are more closely affiliated with
|
|
instances of xref:nng_pipe.5.adoc[`nng_pipe`]
|
|
than of xref:nng_socket.5.adoc[`nng_socket`].
|
|
The naming confusion is unfortunate.
|
|
****
|
|
|
|
This structure is actually a union, with different members for different
|
|
types of addresses.
|
|
|
|
Every member structure has as its first element a `uint16_t` field
|
|
containing the ((address family)).
|
|
This overlaps the `s_family` member of the union, and indicates which
|
|
specific member should be used.
|
|
|
|
The values of `s_family` are as follows:
|
|
|
|
[horizontal]
|
|
`NNG_AF_UNSPEC`:: Invalid address, no other valid fields.
|
|
`NNG_AF_INPROC`:: Address for intraprocess communication (xref:nng_inproc.7.adoc[nng_inproc(7)]). The `s_inproc` member is valid.
|
|
`NNG_AF_IPC`:: Address for interprocess communication (xref:nng_ipc.7.adoc[nng_ipc(7)]). The `s_path` member is valid.
|
|
`NNG_AF_INET`:: Address for TCP/IP (v4) communication. The `s_in` member is valid.
|
|
`NNG_AF_INET6`:: Address for TCP/IP (v6) communication. The `s_in6` member is valid.
|
|
`NNG_AF_ZT`:: Address for ZeroTier transport (xref:nng_zerotier.7.adoc[nng_zerotier(7)]). The `s_zt` member is valid.
|
|
`NNG_AF_ABSTRACT`:: Address for an abstract UNIX domain socket. The `s_abstract` member is valid.
|
|
|
|
Please see the manual pages for each individual type for more information.
