Printing Socket Addresses
If you construct an address for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port on Rogue Wave’s mail gateway using this code:
RWSockAddr addr = "inet:roguewave.com:25";
you can print the address using this code:
cout << addr;
The output is:
roguewave.com:25
You can also use the function RWSocket::id() to get an ASCII representation of the socket address. You can print the address using this code:
cout << addr.id();
The id() function enables you to tailor the amount of output by supplying an optional argument. The argument is an integer between 0 and 9, and (in general) controls the amount of output—the higher the argument, the more descriptive the output.
For example, addr.id(9) returns the string:
inet:stream:roguewave.com(198.68.9.6):25(smtp,mail).
Table 1 shows sample output from
id() for each value of its parameter for an Internet stream address. Other address types will have different output.
Table 1 – Behavior of id and sample output for an Internet stream address
Parameter provided to id() | May access network | Always includes family field | Sample output for id(parameter) given RWInetAddr( "198.68.9.6:mail" ) |
|---|
0(default) | | | 198.68.9.6:mail |
1 | | | 198.68.9.6:mail |
2 | | | inet:stream:198.68.9.6:mail |
3 | X | | roguewave.com:25 |
4 | X | | roguewave.com(198.68.9.6):25(smtp) |
5 | X | | roguewave.com(198.68.9.6):25(smtp) |
6 | X | X | inet:stream:roguewave.com:25 |
7 | X | X | inet:stream:roguewave.com(198.68.9.6):25(smtp) |
