Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "g_socket_address_get_type ()" ) ]
public abstract class SocketAddress : Object, SocketConnectable

`GSocketAddress` is the equivalent of [`struct sockaddr`](man:sockaddr(3type)) 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.

Methods:

  • public virtual SocketFamily get_family ()
    Gets the socket family type of this.
  • public virtual ssize_t get_native_size ()
    Gets the size of this's native struct sockaddr.
  • public virtual bool to_native (void* dest, size_t destlen) throws Error
    Converts a SocketAddress to a native struct sockaddr, which can be passed to low-level functions like connect or bind.
