## Methods

### `impl SockAddr`[src]

#### `pub fn new_inet(addr: InetAddr) -> SockAddr`[src]

#### `pub fn new_unix<P: ?Sized + NixPath>(path: &P) -> Result<SockAddr>`[src]

#### `pub fn new_netlink(pid: u32, groups: u32) -> SockAddr`[src]

#### `pub fn new_alg(alg_type: &str, alg_name: &str) -> SockAddr`[src]

#### `pub fn family(&self) -> AddressFamily`[src]

#### `pub fn to_str(&self) -> String`[src]

#### `pub unsafe fn from_libc_sockaddr(addr: *const sockaddr) -> Option<SockAddr>`[src]

Creates a `SockAddr` struct from libc's sockaddr.

Supports only the following address families: Unix, Inet (v4 & v6), Netlink and System. Returns None for unsupported families.

#### `pub unsafe fn as_ffi_pair(&self) -> (&sockaddr, socklen_t)`[src]

Conversion from nix's SockAddr type to the underlying libc sockaddr type.

This is useful for interfacing with other libc functions that don't yet have nix wrappers. Returns a reference to the underlying data type (as a sockaddr reference) along with the size of the actual data type. sockaddr is commonly used as a proxy for a superclass as C doesn't support inheritance, so many functions that take a sockaddr * need to take the size of the underlying type as well and then internally cast it back.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
