class: SocketAddress

[16:7] extends: object

GSocketAddress is the equivalent of struct sockaddr and its subtypes in the BSD sockets API. This is an abstract class; use [class@Gio.InetSocketAddress] for internet sockets, or [class@Gio.UnixSocketAddress] for UNIX domain sockets.

Members

• handleObj
• lib
• retainedCallbacks
• signalHandlerNames
• signalSetterHandlers

Methods

• SocketAddress (native = null, len = null)

  Creates a #GSocketAddress subclass corresponding to the native struct sockaddr @native.

  • @p native is a pointer to a struct sockaddr.
  • @p len is the size of the memory location pointed to by @native.

• toNativeHandle (Source)

  Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.

  • @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
  • @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.

• getLib ()

  Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.

  • @r The opened native library.

• handle ()

  Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.

  • @r The wrapped NativeHandle.

• isNull ()

  Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.

  • @r A bool.

• describe ()

  Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.

  • @r A string.

• asObject ()

  Wraps this handle as Object.

  • @r A Object object.

• asSocketConnectable ()

  Wraps this handle as SocketConnectable.

  • @r A SocketConnectable object.

• get_family ()

  Gets the socket family type of @address.

• get_native_size ()

  Gets the size of @address's native struct sockaddr. You can use this to allocate memory to pass to g_socket_address_to_native().

• to_native (dest, int destlen)

  Converts a #GSocketAddress to a native struct sockaddr, which can be passed to low-level functions like connect() or bind(). If not enough space is available, a %G_IO_ERROR_NO_SPACE error is returned. If the address type is not known on the system then a %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED error is returned.

  • @p dest is a pointer to a memory location that will contain the native struct sockaddr.
  • @p destlen is the size of @dest. Must be at least as large as g_socket_address_get_native_size().

class: SocketAddressMeta

[157:14] static extends: object

Generated metadata helpers for SocketAddress class surfaces.

Methods

• properties ()

  Returns property metadata for SocketAddress.

  • @r A list.
