In the Internet address family, this structure is used by Windows Sockets to specify a local or remote endpoint address to which to connect a socket. This is the form of the SOCKADDRstructure specific to the Internet address family and can be cast to SOCKADDR.
struct sockaddr_in{
short
sin_family
;
unsigned short
sin_port
;
IN_ADDR
sin_addr
;
char
sin_zero[8]
;};
Members
- sin_family
- Address family; must be AF_INET.
- sin_port
- Internet Protocol (IP) port.
- sin_addr
- IP address in network byte order.
- sin_zero
- Padding to make structure the same size as
SOCKADDR.
Remarks
The IP address component of this structure is of type IN_ADDR. The IN_ADDRstructure is defined in Windows Sockets header file Winsock.h as follows:
typedef struct in_addr { union { struct{ unsigned char s_b1, s_b2, s_b3, s_b4; } S_un_b; struct { unsigned short s_w1, s_w2; } S_un_w; unsigned long S_addr; } S_un; } IN_ADDR;Requirements
