ip::tcp::endpoint

The type of a TCP endpoint.

typedef basic_endpoint< tcp > endpoint;
Types

Name

Description

data_type

The type of the endpoint structure. This type is dependent on the underlying implementation of the socket layer.

protocol_type

The protocol type associated with the endpoint.

Member Functions

Name

Description

address

Get the IP address associated with the endpoint.

Set the IP address associated with the endpoint.

basic_endpoint

Default constructor.

Construct an endpoint using a port number, specified in the host's byte order. The IP address will be the any address (i.e. INADDR_ANY or in6addr_any). This constructor would typically be used for accepting new connections.

Construct an endpoint using a port number and an IP address. This constructor may be used for accepting connections on a specific interface or for making a connection to a remote endpoint.

Copy constructor.

Move constructor.

capacity

Get the capacity of the endpoint in the native type.

data

Get the underlying endpoint in the native type.

operator=

Assign from another endpoint.

Move-assign from another endpoint.

port

Get the port associated with the endpoint. The port number is always in the host's byte order.

Set the port associated with the endpoint. The port number is always in the host's byte order.

protocol

The protocol associated with the endpoint.

resize

Set the underlying size of the endpoint in the native type.

size

Get the underlying size of the endpoint in the native type.

Description

operator!=

Compare two endpoints for inequality.

operator<

Compare endpoints for ordering.

operator<=

Compare endpoints for ordering.

operator==
