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
.
