Detailed Description

wxIPaddress is an abstract base class for all internet protocol address objects.

Currently, only wxIPV4address is implemented. An experimental implementation for IPV6, wxIPV6address, is being developed.

Library:  wxNet
Category:  Networking

Public Member Functions

bool AnyAddress ()
 Internally, this is the same as setting the IP address to INADDR_ANY.
 
virtual bool BroadcastAddress ()=0
 Internally, this is the same as setting the IP address to INADDR_BROADCAST.
 
bool Hostname (const wxString &hostname)
 Set the address to hostname, which can be a host name or an IP-style address in a format dependent on implementation.
 
wxString Hostname () const
 Returns the hostname which matches the IP address.
 
virtual wxString IPAddress () const =0
 Returns a wxString containing the IP address.
 
virtual bool IsLocalHost () const =0
 Determines if current address is set to localhost.
 
bool LocalHost ()
 Set address to localhost.
 
bool Service (const wxString &service)
 Set the port to that corresponding to the specified service.
 
bool Service (unsigned short service)
 Set the port to that corresponding to the specified service.
 
unsigned short Service () const
 Returns the current service.
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from wxSockAddress
 wxSockAddress ()
 Default constructor.
 
virtual ~wxSockAddress ()
 Default destructor.
 
virtual void Clear ()
 Delete all information about the address.
 
int SockAddrLen ()
 Returns the length of the socket address.
 
const sockaddr * GetAddressData () const
 Returns the pointer to the low-level representation of the address.
 
int GetAddressDataLen () const
 Returns the length of the buffer retrieved by GetAddressData().
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from wxObject
 wxObject ()
 Default ctor; initializes to NULL the internal reference data.
 
 wxObject (const wxObject &other)
 Copy ctor.
 
virtual ~wxObject ()
 Destructor.
 
virtual wxClassInfoGetClassInfo () const
 This virtual function is redefined for every class that requires run-time type information, when using the wxDECLARE_CLASS macro (or similar).
 
wxObjectRefDataGetRefData () const
 Returns the wxObject::m_refData pointer, i.e. the data referenced by this object.
 
bool IsKindOf (const wxClassInfo *info) const
 Determines whether this class is a subclass of (or the same class as) the given class.
 
bool IsSameAs (const wxObject &obj) const
 Returns true if this object has the same data pointer as obj.
 
void Ref (const wxObject &clone)
 Makes this object refer to the data in clone.
 
void SetRefData (wxObjectRefData *data)
 Sets the wxObject::m_refData pointer.
 
void UnRef ()
 Decrements the reference count in the associated data, and if it is zero, deletes the data.
 
void UnShare ()
 This is the same of AllocExclusive() but this method is public.
 
void operator delete (void *buf)
 The delete operator is defined for debugging versions of the library only, when the identifier WXDEBUG is defined.
 
void * operator new (size_t size, const wxString &filename=NULL, int lineNum=0)
 The new operator is defined for debugging versions of the library only, when the identifier WXDEBUG is defined.
 

Additional Inherited Members

- Protected Member Functions inherited from wxObject
void AllocExclusive ()
 Ensure that this object's data is not shared with any other object.
 
virtual wxObjectRefDataCreateRefData () const
 Creates a new instance of the wxObjectRefData-derived class specific to this object and returns it.
 
virtual wxObjectRefDataCloneRefData (const wxObjectRefData *data) const
 Creates a new instance of the wxObjectRefData-derived class specific to this object and initializes it copying data.
 
- Protected Attributes inherited from wxObject
wxObjectRefDatam_refData
 Pointer to an object which is the object's reference-counted data.
