os_socketaddr

This crate provides a type that can act as a platform-native socket address (i.e. libc::sockaddr)

Motivation

The std crate provides std::net::SocketAddr for managing socket addresses. Its V4 variant encapsulates a libc::sockaddr_in and its V6 variant encapsulates a libc::sockaddr_in6. However there is no easy way to convert SocketAddr from/into a libc::sockaddr, because SocketAddr is a rust enum.

This crate provides OsSocketAddr which holds a libc::sockaddr (containing an IPv4 or IPv6 address) and the conversion functions from/into std::net::SocketAddr.
