Detailed Description

RWInetAddrFactory is used by RWSockAddrFactory to create instances of RWInetAddr. It is not used directly by clients of the Networking classes. Only a single instance of RWInetAddrFactory exists, and it is created at the time the RWSockAddrFactory is constructed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWInetAddrFactory::RWInetAddrFactory

(

)

If an instance has not yet been created, constructs an instance of this class and registers it with RWSockAddrFactory.

virtual RWInetAddrFactory::~RWInetAddrFactory

(

)

[virtual]

Virtual destructor.

virtual RWSockAddrBase* RWInetAddrFactory::operator()

(

const RWCString &

)

const [virtual]

Returns a pointer to an RWInetAddr instance constructed from from the provided RWCString.

The str parameter should be in the format described by the RWInetAddr::id() method and should contain only 7-bit US-ASCII data.

The newly created RWInetAddr is allocated on the heap. The caller is responsible for deleting it. Often, this is managed by wrapping the object using an RWSockAddr.

Implements RWSockAddrFactoryBase.

virtual RWSockAddrBase* RWInetAddrFactory::operator()	(	struct sockaddr *	addr,
		RWSockLenType	addrLen,
		int	type
	)			const [virtual]

Returns a pointer to an RWInetAddr instance constructed from the provided sockaddr structure and the given socket type.

The addr parameter is expected to point to an object that is compatible with sockaddr_in. The socket address family of addr is expected to be AF_INET.

The addrLen parameter is expected to describe the size, in bytes, of the object pointed to by addr.

The type parameter describes the type of socket address. This would normally be one of SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM.

The newly created RWInetAddr is allocated on the heap. The caller is responsible for deleting it. Often, this is managed by wrapping the object using an RWSockAddr.

Implements RWSockAddrFactoryBase.

virtual RWSockAddrBase* RWInetAddrFactory::operator()	(	struct sockaddr *	addr,
