<h2 id="date">2005-2016</h2>
<p>
<h2 >NAME</h2>FBB::Hostent - Wrapper around a <strong >struct hostent</strong>
<p>
<h2 >SYNOPSIS</h2>
<strong >#include <bobcat/hostent></strong><br/>
Linking option: <em >-lbobcat</em>
<p>
<h2 >DESCRIPTION</h2>
<strong >@CLASS</strong> objects are wrappers around <strong >hostent</strong> structs which may be
used by other objects. A <strong >struct hostent</strong> is defined as follows:
<pre>
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
}
</pre>
<p>
The <em >address</em> fields are binary values of the addresses, each address
requiring <em >h_length</em> bytes, the last address being equal to 0. The
<strong >@CLASS</strong> objects offer a <strong >C++</strong>-like interface to this struct.
<p>
<h2 >NAMESPACE</h2>
<strong >FBB</strong><br/>
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace <strong >FBB</strong>.
<p>
<h2 >INHERITS FROM</h2>
-
<p>
<h2 >CONSTRUCTORS</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong >Hostent(hostent const *hostentPtr)</strong>:<br/>
This constructor initializes an <strong >@CLASS</strong> object from an existing
<strong >hostent</strong> struct. Functions like <strong >gethostbyname</strong>(3) and
<strong >gethostbyaddress</strong>(3) return pointers to <strong >hostent</strong> structs.
</ul>
<p>
The default, copy and move constructors are available.
<p>
<h2 >MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
<p>
<ul>
<li> <strong >size_t addressLength() const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns the length of the binary addresses in bytes.
<li> <strong >size_t addressType() const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns the type of the address. Currently this is always
<strong >AF_INET</strong>.
<li> <strong >char const *alias(size_t index) const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns alias `<em >index</em>' of the host. The first alias has
<em >index 0</em>. If alias `<em >index</em>' does not exist, 0 is returned.
<li> <strong >char const * const *beginAlias() const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns an iterator to the first alias. The hostname
itself is not included in the list of aliases.
<li> <strong >char const *binaryAddress(size_t index) const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns the binary address `<em >index</em>' of the host. The
first address has <em >index 0</em>. If address `<em >index</em>' does not exist, 0 is
returned. The pointer to the binary address points to a series of
<strong >addressLength()</strong> bytes. Note that the returned address is in <em >network
byte order</em>. It can be converted to host byte order by the functions described
in <strong >byteorder</strong>(3).
<li> <strong >std::string dottedDecimalAddress(size_t index) const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns address `<em >index</em>' as a dotted decimal address in
a string. The first address has <em >index 0</em>. If address `<em >index</em>' does not
exist, an empty string is returned.
<li> <strong >char const * const *endAlias() const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns an iterator pointing beyond the last alias.
<li> <strong >char const *hostname() const</strong>:<br/>
This member returns the standard (first) name of the host.
<li> <strong >size_t nAddresses() const</strong>:<br/>
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.
<li> <strong >size_t nAliases() const</strong>:<br/>
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.
<li> <strong >void swap(Hostent &other)</strong>:<br/>
The current <em >Hostent</em> object's contents are swapped with the other
object's contents.
</ul>
<p>
The overloaded assignment operator and the move-aware overloaded
assignment operators are available.
<p>
<h2 >EXAMPLE</h2>
<pre>
#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, "\n"));
cout << "Addresses:\n";
for (size_t idx = 0; idx < he.nAddresses(); idx++)
cout << he.dottedDecimalAddress(idx) << endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
