Struct SockAddrStorage 

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct SockAddrStorage {
    storage: sockaddr_storage,
}

Rust version of the sockaddr_storage type.

This type is intended to be used with with direct calls to the getsockname syscall. See the documentation of SockAddr::new for examples.

This crate defines its own sockaddr_storage type to avoid semver concerns with upgrading windows-sys.

Fields

storage: sockaddr_storage

Implementations

impl SockAddrStorage

pub fn zeroed() -> Self

Construct a new storage containing all zeros.

pub fn size_of(&self) -> socklen_t

Returns the size of this storage.

pub unsafe fn view_as<T>(&mut self) -> &mut T

View this type as another type.

Safety

The type T must be one of the sockaddr_* types defined by this platform.

Examples

use libc::sockaddr_storage;
use socket2::{SockAddr, SockAddrStorage, socklen_t};

fn from_sockaddr_storage(recv_address: &sockaddr_storage) -> SockAddr {
    let mut storage = SockAddrStorage::zeroed();
    let libc_address = unsafe { storage.view_as::<sockaddr_storage>() };
    *libc_address = *recv_address;
    unsafe { SockAddr::new(storage, size_of::<sockaddr_storage>() as socklen_t) }
}
