29=head1 DESCRIPTION
30
31The B<BIO_ADDR> type is a wrapper around all types of socket
32addresses that OpenSSL deals with, currently transparently
33supporting AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX according to what's
34available on the platform at hand.
35
36BIO_ADDR_new() creates a new unfilled B<BIO_ADDR>, to be used
37with routines that will fill it with information, such as
38BIO_accept_ex().
39
40BIO_ADDR_free() frees a B<BIO_ADDR> created with BIO_ADDR_new().
41
42BIO_ADDR_clear() clears any data held within the provided B<BIO_ADDR> and sets
43it back to an uninitialised state.
44
45BIO_ADDR_rawmake() takes a protocol B<family>, a byte array of
46size B<wherelen> with an address in network byte order pointed at
47by B<where> and a port number in network byte order in B<port> (except
48for the B<AF_UNIX> protocol family, where B<port> is meaningless and
49therefore ignored) and populates the given B<BIO_ADDR> with them.
50In case this creates a B<AF_UNIX> B<BIO_ADDR>, B<wherelen> is expected
51to be the length of the path string (not including the terminating
52NUL, such as the result of a call to strlen()).
53I<Read on about the addresses in L</RAW ADDRESSES> below>.
54
55BIO_ADDR_family() returns the protocol family of the given
56B<BIO_ADDR>.  The possible non-error results are one of the
57constants AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX. It will also return AF_UNSPEC if the
58BIO_ADDR has not been initialised.
59
60BIO_ADDR_rawaddress() will write the raw address of the given
61B<BIO_ADDR> in the area pointed at by B<p> if B<p> is non-NULL,
62and will set B<*l> to be the amount of bytes the raw address
63takes up if B<l> is non-NULL.
64A technique to only find out the size of the address is a call
65with B<p> set to B<NULL>.  The raw address will be in network byte
66order, most significant byte first.
67In case this is a B<AF_UNIX> B<BIO_ADDR>, B<l> gets the length of the
68path string (not including the terminating NUL, such as the result of
69a call to strlen()).
70I<Read on about the addresses in L</RAW ADDRESSES> below>.
71
72BIO_ADDR_rawport() returns the raw port of the given B<BIO_ADDR>.
73The raw port will be in network byte order.
74
75BIO_ADDR_hostname_string() returns a character string with the
76hostname of the given B<BIO_ADDR>.  If B<numeric> is 1, the string
77will contain the numerical form of the address.  This only works for
78B<BIO_ADDR> of the protocol families AF_INET and AF_INET6.  The
79returned string has been allocated on the heap and must be freed
80with OPENSSL_free().
81
82BIO_ADDR_service_string() returns a character string with the
83service name of the port of the given B<BIO_ADDR>.  If B<numeric>
84is 1, the string will contain the port number.  This only works
85for B<BIO_ADDR> of the protocol families AF_INET and AF_INET6.  The
86returned string has been allocated on the heap and must be freed
87with OPENSSL_free().
88
89BIO_ADDR_path_string() returns a character string with the path
90of the given B<BIO_ADDR>.  This only works for B<BIO_ADDR> of the
91protocol family AF_UNIX.  The returned string has been allocated
92on the heap and must be freed with OPENSSL_free().
93
94=head1 RAW ADDRESSES
95
96Both BIO_ADDR_rawmake() and BIO_ADDR_rawaddress() take a pointer to a
97network byte order address of a specific site.  Internally, those are
98treated as a pointer to B<struct in_addr> (for B<AF_INET>), B<struct
99in6_addr> (for B<AF_INET6>) or B<char *> (for B<AF_UNIX>), all
100depending on the protocol family the address is for.
101
102=head1 RETURN VALUES
103
104The string producing functions BIO_ADDR_hostname_string(),
105BIO_ADDR_service_string() and BIO_ADDR_path_string() will
106return B<NULL> on error and leave an error indication on the
107OpenSSL error stack.
108
109All other functions described here return 0 or B<NULL> when the
110information they should return isn't available.
