NAME

netinet/in.h − Internet address family

SYNOPSIS

#include <netinet/in.h>

DESCRIPTION

The <netinet/in.h> header shall define the following types:
in_port_t

Equivalent to the type uint16_t as defined in <inttypes.h> .

in_addr_t

Equivalent to the type uint32_t as defined in <inttypes.h> .

The sa_family_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/socket.h> .

The uint8_t and uint32_t type shall be defined as described in <inttypes.h>. Inclusion of the <netinet/in.h> header may also make visible all symbols from <inttypes.h> and <sys/socket.h>.

The <netinet/in.h> header shall define the in_addr structure that includes at least the following member:

in_addr_t s_addr

The <netinet/in.h> header shall define the sockaddr_in structure that includes at least the following members (all in network byte order):

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

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.

The <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> header shall define the sockaddr_in6 structure that includes at least the following members (all in network byte order):

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 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> header shall define the following macros for use as values of the level argument of getsockopt() and setsockopt():
IPPROTO_IP

Internet protocol.

IPPROTO_IPV6

Internet Protocol Version 6.

IPPROTO_ICMP

Control message protocol.

IPPROTO_RAW

Raw IP Packets Protocol.

IPPROTO_TCP

Transmission control protocol.

IPPROTO_UDP

User datagram protocol.

The <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <arpa/inet.h> . Inclusion of the <netinet/in.h> header may also make visible all symbols from <arpa/inet.h> .

The <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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 <netinet/in.h> 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.

The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE

None.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
