Struct socket2::SockAddr

source · [−]

pub struct SockAddr { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

The address of a socket.

SockAddrs may be constructed directly to and from the standard library SocketAddr, SocketAddrV4, and SocketAddrV6 types.

Implementations

source

impl SockAddr

source

pub const unsafe fn new(storage: sockaddr_storage, len: socklen_t) -> SockAddr

Create a SockAddr from the underlying storage and its length.

Caller must ensure that the address family and length match the type of storage address. For example if storage.ss_family is set to AF_INET the storage must be initialised as sockaddr_in, setting the content and length appropriately.

Examples

use std::io;
use std::mem;
use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;

use socket2::{SockAddr, Socket, Domain, Type};

let socket = Socket::new(Domain::IPV4, Type::STREAM, None)?;

// Initialise a `SocketAddr` byte calling `getsockname(2)`.
let mut addr_storage: libc::sockaddr_storage = unsafe { mem::zeroed() };
let mut len = mem::size_of_val(&addr_storage) as libc::socklen_t;

// The `getsockname(2)` system call will intiliase `storage` for
// us, setting `len` to the correct length.
let res = unsafe {
    libc::getsockname(
        socket.as_raw_fd(),
        (&mut addr_storage as *mut libc::sockaddr_storage).cast(),
        &mut len,
    )
};
if res == -1 {
    return Err(io::Error::last_os_error());
}

let address = unsafe { SockAddr::new(addr_storage, len) };

source

pub unsafe fn init<F, T>(init: F) -> Result<(T, SockAddr )> where
F: FnOnce(mut sockaddr_storage, mut socklen_t) -> Result<T>,

Initialise a SockAddr by calling the function init.

The type of the address storage and length passed to the function init is OS/architecture specific.

The address is zeroed before init is called and is thus valid to dereference and read from. The length initialised to the maximum length of the storage.

Safety

Caller must ensure that the address family and length match the type of storage address. For example if storage.ss_family is set to AF_INET the storage must be initialised as sockaddr_in, setting the content and length appropriately.

Examples

use std::io;
use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;

use socket2::{SockAddr, Socket, Domain, Type};

let socket = Socket::new(Domain::IPV4, Type::STREAM, None)?;

// Initialise a `SocketAddr` byte calling `getsockname(2)`.
let (_, address) = unsafe {
    SockAddr::init(|addr_storage, len| {
        // The `getsockname(2)` system call will intiliase `storage` for
        // us, setting `len` to the correct length.
        if libc::getsockname(socket.as_raw_fd(), addr_storage.cast(), len) == -1 {
            Err(io::Error::last_os_error())
        } else {
            Ok(())
        }
    })
}?;
