This structure is the generic address structure for all address families used in Windows socket communication.
struct sockaddr {
unsigned short
sa_family
;
char
sa_data[14]
;};
Parameters
- sa_family
- Address family.
- sa_data
- Up to 14 bytes of direct address.
Remarks
The actual structure is interpreted differently in the context of different address families. The only requirements are that the first u_short is the address family and the total size of the memory buffer in bytes is namelen .
The structure below is used with TCP/IP. Other protocols use similar structures.
struct sockaddr_in { short sin_family; u_short sin_port; struct in_addr sin_addr; char sin_zero[8]; };Requirements
