Field Documentation

sin6_family

sa_family_t sockaddr_in6::sin6_family

Socket address family (part of struct sockaddr)

Always set to AF_INET6 for IPv6 addresses

Definition at line 120 of file in.h.

Referenced by dns_xfer_deliver(), ndp_tx_request(), and ndp_tx_router_solicitation().

sin6_flags

uint16_t sockaddr_in6::sin6_flags

Flags (part of struct sockaddr_tcpip)

Definition at line 122 of file in.h.

sin6_port

uint16_t sockaddr_in6::sin6_port

TCP/IP port (part of struct sockaddr_tcpip)

Definition at line 124 of file in.h.

sin6_scope_id

uint16_t sockaddr_in6::sin6_scope_id

Scope ID (part of struct sockaddr_tcpip)

For link-local or multicast addresses, this is the network device index.

Definition at line 130 of file in.h.

Referenced by ipv6_netdev(), ipv6_sock_aton(), ipv6_sock_ntoa(), ipv6_tx(), ndp_tx_request(), and ndp_tx_router_solicitation().

sin6_addr

struct in6_addr sockaddr_in6::sin6_addr

IPv6 address.

Definition at line 132 of file in.h.

Referenced by dns_xfer_deliver(), ipv6_netdev(), ipv6_sock_aton(), ipv6_sock_ntoa(), ipv6_tx(), ndp_rx_neighbour_solicitation_ll_source(), ndp_rx_router_advertisement(), ndp_rx_router_advertisement_ll_source(), ndp_rx_router_advertisement_prefix(), ndp_tx_request(), ndp_tx_router_solicitation(), nslookup_resolv_done(), and x509_check_ipaddress().

pad

char sockaddr_in6::pad[sizeof(struct sockaddr) -(sizeof(sa_family_t)+ sizeof(uint16_t)+ sizeof(uint16_t)+ sizeof(uint16_t)+ sizeof(struct in6_addr))]

Padding.

This ensures that a struct sockaddr_in6 is large enough to hold a socket address for any TCP/IP address family.
