<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>The <b>BIO_ADDR</b> type is a wrapper around all types of socket addresses that OpenSSL deals with, currently transparently supporting AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX according to what's available on the platform at hand.</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_new() creates a new unfilled <b>BIO_ADDR</b>, to be used with routines that will fill it with information, such as BIO_accept_ex().</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_free() frees a <b>BIO_ADDR</b> created with BIO_ADDR_new().</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_clear() clears any data held within the provided <b>BIO_ADDR</b> and sets it back to an uninitialised state.</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_rawmake() takes a protocol <b>family</b>, a byte array of size <b>wherelen</b> with an address in network byte order pointed at by <b>where</b> and a port number in network byte order in <b>port</b> (except for the <b>AF_UNIX</b> protocol family, where <b>port</b> is meaningless and therefore ignored) and populates the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b> with them. In case this creates a <b>AF_UNIX</b> <b>BIO_ADDR</b>, <b>wherelen</b> is expected to be the length of the path string (not including the terminating NUL, such as the result of a call to strlen()). <i>Read on about the addresses in <a href="#RAW-ADDRESSES">"RAW ADDRESSES"</a> below</i>.</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_family() returns the protocol family of the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b>. The possible non-error results are one of the constants AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX. It will also return AF_UNSPEC if the BIO_ADDR has not been initialised.</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_rawaddress() will write the raw address of the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b> in the area pointed at by <b>p</b> if <b>p</b> is non-NULL, and will set <b>*l</b> to be the amount of bytes the raw address takes up if <b>l</b> is non-NULL. A technique to only find out the size of the address is a call with <b>p</b> set to <b>NULL</b>. The raw address will be in network byte order, most significant byte first. In case this is a <b>AF_UNIX</b> <b>BIO_ADDR</b>, <b>l</b> gets the length of the path string (not including the terminating NUL, such as the result of a call to strlen()). <i>Read on about the addresses in <a href="#RAW-ADDRESSES">"RAW ADDRESSES"</a> below</i>.</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_rawport() returns the raw port of the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b>. The raw port will be in network byte order.</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_hostname_string() returns a character string with the hostname of the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b>. If <b>numeric</b> is 1, the string will contain the numerical form of the address. This only works for <b>BIO_ADDR</b> of the protocol families AF_INET and AF_INET6. The returned string has been allocated on the heap and must be freed with OPENSSL_free().</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_service_string() returns a character string with the service name of the port of the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b>. If <b>numeric</b> is 1, the string will contain the port number. This only works for <b>BIO_ADDR</b> of the protocol families AF_INET and AF_INET6. The returned string has been allocated on the heap and must be freed with OPENSSL_free().</p>
<p>BIO_ADDR_path_string() returns a character string with the path of the given <b>BIO_ADDR</b>. This only works for <b>BIO_ADDR</b> of the protocol family AF_UNIX. The returned string has been allocated on the heap and must be freed with OPENSSL_free().</p>
<h1 id="RAW-ADDRESSES">RAW ADDRESSES</h1>
<p>Both BIO_ADDR_rawmake() and BIO_ADDR_rawaddress() take a pointer to a network byte order address of a specific site. Internally, those are treated as a pointer to <b>struct in_addr</b> (for <b>AF_INET</b>), <b>struct in6_addr</b> (for <b>AF_INET6</b>) or <b>char *</b> (for <b>AF_UNIX</b>), all depending on the protocol family the address is for.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>The string producing functions BIO_ADDR_hostname_string(), BIO_ADDR_service_string() and BIO_ADDR_path_string() will return <b>NULL</b> on error and leave an error indication on the OpenSSL error stack.</p>
<p>All other functions described here return 0 or <b>NULL</b> when the information they should return isn't available.</p>
