sockaddr_gen union (ws2ipdef.h)
The sockaddr_gen union provides generic socket address information, and is used with the INTERFACE_INFO structure.
Syntax
typedef union sockaddr_gen {
struct sockaddr Address;
struct sockaddr_in AddressIn;
struct sockaddr_in6_old AddressIn6;
} sockaddr_gen;
Members
Address
IP address information expressed in a sockaddr structure.
AddressIn
IP address information expressed in a sockaddr_in structure.
AddressIn6
IP address information expressed in a sockaddr_in6_old structure.
Remarks
On the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) released for Windows Vista and later, the organization of header files has changed and the sockaddr_gen union is defined in the Ws2ipdef.h header file which is automatically included in the Ws2tcpip.h header file. The Ws2ipdef.h header files should never be used directly.
