NAME

netinet/in.h - Internet address family

SYNOPSIS

#include

DESCRIPTION

The header shall define the following types:

in_port_t

Equivalent to the type uint16_t as defined in .

in_addr_t

Equivalent to the type uint32_t as defined in .

The sa_family_t type shall be defined as described in .

The uint8_t and uint32_t type shall be defined as described in . Inclusion of the header may also make visible all symbols from and .

The header shall define the in_addr structure that includes at least the following member:

in_addr_t  s_addr

The header shall define the sockaddr_in structure that includes at least the following members:

sa_family_t     sin_family   AF_INET. in_port_t       sin_port     Port number. struct in_addr  sin_addr     IP address. 

The sin_port and sin_addr members shall be in network byte order.

The sockaddr_in structure is used to store addresses for the Internet address family. Values of this type shall be cast by applications to struct sockaddr for use with socket functions.

^[IP6] The header shall define the in6_addr structure that contains at least the following member:

uint8_t s6_addr[16]

This array is used to contain a 128-bit IPv6 address, stored in network byte order.

The header shall define the sockaddr_in6 structure that includes at least the following members:

sa_family_t      sin6_family    AF_INET6. in_port_t        sin6_port      Port number. uint32_t         sin6_flowinfo  IPv6 traffic class and flow information. struct in6_addr  sin6_addr      IPv6 address. uint32_t         sin6_scope_id  Set of interfaces for a scope. 

The sin6_port and sin6_addr members shall be in network byte order.

The sockaddr_in6 structure shall be set to zero by an application prior to using it, since implementations are free to have additional, implementation-defined fields in sockaddr_in6.

The sin6_scope_id field is a 32-bit integer that identifies a set of interfaces as appropriate for the scope of the address carried in the sin6_addr field. For a link scope sin6_addr, the application shall ensure that sin6_scope_id is a link index. For a site scope sin6_addr, the application shall ensure that sin6_scope_id is a site index. The mapping of sin6_scope_id to an interface or set of interfaces is implementation-defined.

The header shall declare the following external variable:

const struct in6_addr in6addr_any

This variable is initialized by the system to contain the wildcard IPv6 address. The header also defines the IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT macro. This macro must be constant at compile time and can be used to initialize a variable of type struct in6_addr to the IPv6 wildcard address.

The header shall declare the following external variable:

const struct in6_addr in6addr_loopback

This variable is initialized by the system to contain the loopback IPv6 address. The header also defines the IN6ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT macro. This macro must be constant at compile time and can be used to initialize a variable of type struct in6_addr to the IPv6 loopback address.

The header shall define the ipv6_mreq structure that includes at least the following members:

struct in6_addr  ipv6mr_multiaddr  IPv6 multicast address. unsigned         ipv6mr_interface  Interface index. 

The header shall define the following macros for use as values of the level argument of getsockopt() and setsockopt():

IPPROTO_IP

Internet protocol.

IPPROTO_IPV6

^[IP6] Internet Protocol Version 6.

IPPROTO_ICMP

Control message protocol.

IPPROTO_RAW

^[RS] Raw IP Packets Protocol.

IPPROTO_TCP

Transmission control protocol.

IPPROTO_UDP

User datagram protocol.

The header shall define the following macros for use as destination addresses for connect(), sendmsg(), and sendto():

INADDR_ANY

IPv4 local host address.

INADDR_BROADCAST

IPv4 broadcast address.

The header shall define the following macro to help applications declare buffers of the proper size to store IPv4 addresses in string form:

INET_ADDRSTRLEN

16. Length of the string form for IP.

The htonl(), htons(), ntohl(), and ntohs() functions shall be available as defined in . Inclusion of the header may also make visible all symbols from .

^[IP6] The header shall define the following macro to help applications declare buffers of the proper size to store IPv6 addresses in string form:

INET6_ADDRSTRLEN

46. Length of the string form for IPv6.

The header shall define the following macros, with distinct integer values, for use in the option_name argument in the getsockopt() or setsockopt() functions at protocol level IPPROTO_IPV6:

IPV6_JOIN_GROUP

Join a multicast group.

IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP

Quit a multicast group.

IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS

Multicast hop limit.

IPV6_MULTICAST_IF

Interface to use for outgoing multicast packets.

IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP

Multicast packets are delivered back to the local application.

IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS

Unicast hop limit.

IPV6_V6ONLY

Restrict AF_INET6 socket to IPv6 communications only.

The header shall define the following macros that test for special IPv6 addresses. Each macro is of type int and takes a single argument of type const struct in6_addr *:

IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED

Unspecified address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK

Loopback address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_MULTICAST

Multicast address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL

Unicast link-local address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_SITELOCAL

Unicast site-local address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED

IPv4 mapped address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_V4COMPAT

IPv4-compatible address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_NODELOCAL

Multicast node-local address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_LINKLOCAL

Multicast link-local address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_SITELOCAL

Multicast site-local address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_ORGLOCAL

Multicast organization-local address.

IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_GLOBAL

Multicast global address.

APPLICATION USAGE

None.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.

CHANGE HISTORY

First released in Issue 6. Derived from the XNS, Issue 5.2 specification.

The sin_zero member was removed from the sockaddr_in structure as per The Open Group Base Resolution bwg2001-004.

IEEE Std 1003.1-2001/Cor 1-2002, item XBD/TC1/D6/12 is applied, adding const qualifiers to the in6addr_any and in6addr_loopback external variables.

IEEE Std 1003.1-2001/Cor 2-2004, item XBD/TC2/D6/22 is applied, making it clear which structure members are in network byte order.
