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

Create a SockAddr from the underlying storage and its length.

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::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) };

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(())
        }
    })
}?;

Returns this address’s family.

Returns the size of this address in bytes.

Returns a raw pointer to the address.

Returns this address as a SocketAddr if it is in the AF_INET (IPv4) or AF_INET6 (IPv6) family, otherwise returns None.

Returns this address as a SocketAddrV4 if it is in the AF_INET family.

Returns this address as a SocketAddrV6 if it is in the AF_INET6 family.

Unix only API.

Constructs a SockAddr with the family AF_UNIX and the provided path.

Failure

Returns an error if the path is longer than SUN_LEN.

Constructs a SockAddr with the family AF_VSOCK and the provided CID/port.

Errors

This function can never fail. In a future version of this library it will be made infallible.

Returns this address VSOCK CID/port if it is in the AF_VSOCK family, otherwise return None.
