socket_from_name(3ncs) socket_from_name(3ncs) Name socket_from_name - convert a name and port number to a socket address Syntax #include <idl/c/socket.h> void socket_$from_name(family, name, nlength, port, sockaddr, slength, status) unsigned long family; socket_$string_t name; unsigned long nlength; unsigned long port; socket_$addr_t *sockaddr; unsigned long *slength; status_$t *status; Arguments family The integer representation of an address family. Value can be socket_$internet or socket_$unspec If the family parameter is socket_$unspec, then the name parameter is scanned for a prefix of family: (for example, ip:). name A string in the format family:host[port], where family:, host, and [port] are all optional. The family is an address family. The only valid family is ip. If you specify a family as part of the name parameter, you must specify socket_$unspec in the family parameter. The host is a host name. A leading number sign (#) can be used to indicate that the host name is in the standard numeric form (for example, #192.9.8.7). If host is omitted, the local host name is used. The port is a port number. If you spec- ify a port as part of the name parameter, the port parameter is ignored. nlength The length, in bytes, of name. port A port number. If you specify a port number in the name parameter, this parameter is ignored. sockaddr A socket address. slength The length, in bytes, of sockaddr. status The completion status. If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it was success- ful. Description The routine converts a textual address family, host name, and port number to a socket address. The address family and the port number can be either specified as separate parameters or included in the name parameter.
