addrinfo
TCP/IP address information
Synopsis:
struct addrinfo { int ai_flags; int ai_family; int ai_socktype; int ai_protocol; size_t ai_addrlen; char * ai_canonname; struct sockaddr * ai_addr; struct addrinfo * ai_next };
Since:
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Description:
The addrinfo structure describes address information for use with TCP/IP. To get this information, call getaddrinfo(); to free a linked list of these structures, call freeaddrinfo().
The addrinfo structure includes these members:
- ai_flags
- Flags. Includes AI_PASSIVE, AI_CANONNAME, and AI_NUMERICHOST. For a complete list, see <netdb.h>.
- ai_family
- Protocol family. Includes PF_UNSPEC and PF_INET. For a complete list, see <sys/socket.h>.
- ai_socktype
- Socket type. Includes SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM. For a complete list, see <sys/socket.h>.
- ai_protocol
- Protocol. Includes IPPROTO_TCP and IPPROTO_UDP. For a complete list, see <netinet/in.h>.
- ai_addrlen
- The length of the ai_addr member.
- ai_canonname
- The canonical name for nodename.
- ai_addr
- Binary socket address.
- ai_next
- A pointer to the next addrinfo structure in the linked list.
