FBB::Hostent(3bobcat) struct hostent wrapper FBB::Hostent(3bobcat)NAMEFBB::Hostent - Wrapper around a struct hostentSYNOPSIS#include <bobcat/hostent> Linking option: -lbobcatDESCRIPTION@CLASS objects are wrappers around hostent structs which may be used by other objects. A struct hostent is defined as follows: struct hostent { char *h_name; // official name of host char **h_aliases; // alias list int h_addrtype; // host address type (always AF_INET) int h_length; // length of address char **h_addr_list; // list of addresses } The address fields are binary values of the addresses, each address requiring h_length bytes, the last address being equal to 0. The @CLASS objects offer a C++-like interface to this struct.NAMESPACEFBB All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.INHERITS FROM-CONSTRUCTORSo Hostent(hostent const *hostentPtr): This constructor initializes an @CLASS object from an existing hostent struct. Functions like gethostbyname(3) and gethostbyad- dress(3) return pointers to hostent structs. The default, copy and move constructors are available.MEMBER FUNCTIONSo size_t addressLength() const: This member returns the length of the binary addresses in bytes. o size_t addressType() const: This member returns the type of the address. Currently this is always AF_INET. o char const *alias(size_t index) const: This member returns alias `index' of the host. The first alias has index 0. If alias `index' does not exist, 0 is returned. o char const * const *beginAlias() const: This member returns an iterator to the first alias. The hostname itself is not included in the list of aliases. o char const *binaryAddress(size_t index) const: This member returns the binary address `index' of the host. The first address has index 0. If address `index' does not exist, 0 is returned. The pointer to the binary address points to a series of addressLength() bytes. Note that the returned address is in net- work byte order. It can be converted to host byte order by the functions described in byteorder(3). o std::string dottedDecimalAddress(size_t index) const: This member returns address `index' as a dotted decimal address in a string. The first address has index 0. If address `index' does not exist, an empty string is returned. o char const * const *endAlias() const: This member returns an iterator pointing beyond the last alias. o char const *hostname() const: This member returns the standard (first) name of the host. o size_t nAddresses() const: This member returns the number of addresses that are available. When requesting a particular address, the requested index should be less than the value returned by this member. o size_t nAliases() const: This member returns the number of aliases that are available. When requesting a particular alias, the requested index should be less than the value returned by this member. o void swap(Hostent &other): The current Hostent object's contents are swapped with the other object's contents. The overloaded assignment operator and the move-aware overloaded assignment operators are available.EXAMPLE#include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <iterator> #include <bobcat/hostent> using namespace std; using namespace FBB; int main(int argc, char **argv) { Hostent he(gethostbyname("localhost")); cout << "The local hostname = " << he.hostname() << endl; cout << "All aliases: " << endl; copy(he.beginAlias(), he.endAlias(), ostream_iterator<char const *>(cout, " ")); cout << "Addresses: "; for (size_t idx = 0; idx < he.nAddresses(); idx++) cout << he.dottedDecimalAddress(idx) << endl; return 0; }FILESbobcat/hostent - defines the class interfaceSEE ALSObobcat(7)BUGSNone Reported.DISTRIBUTION FILESo bobcat_3.01.00-x.dsc: detached signature; o bobcat_3.01.00-x.tar.gz: source archive; o bobcat_3.01.00-x_i386.changes: change log; o libbobcat1_3.01.00-x_*.deb: debian package holding the libraries; o libbobcat1-dev_3.01.00-x_*.deb: debian package holding the libraries, headers and manual pages; o http://sourceforge.net/projects/bobcat: public archive location;BOBCATBobcat is an acronym of `Brokken's Own Base Classes And Templates'.COPYRIGHTThis is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).AUTHORFrank B.
