3/26/2014
This structure is used by the getaddrinfo function to hold host address information.
Syntax
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;
};
Members
- ai_flags
Flags that indicate options used in the getaddrinfo function. See AI_PASSIVE, AI_CANONNAME, and AI_NUMERICHOST.
- ai_family
Protocol family, such as PF_INET.
- ai_socktype
Socket type, such as SOCK_RAW, SOCK_STREAM, or SOCK_DGRAM.
- ai_protocol
Protocol, such as IPPROTO_TCP or IPPROTO_UDP. For protocols other than IPv4 and IPv6, set this value to zero.
- ai_addrlen
Length of the ai_addr member.
- ai_canonname
Canonical name for the host.
- ai_addr
Pointer to a sockaddr structure.
- ai_ next
Pointer to the next structure in a linked list. The last addrinfo structure of a linked list sets this value to NULL.
