Description:

The addrinfo structure describes address information for use with TCP/IP. To get this information, call getaddrinfo() ; to free a linked list of these structures, call freeaddrinfo() .

The addrinfo structure includes these members:

ai_flags

Flags. Includes AI_PASSIVE, AI_CANONNAME, and AI_NUMERICHOST. For a complete list, see <netdb.h>.

ai_family

Protocol family. Includes PF_UNSPEC and PF_INET. For a complete list, see <sys/socket.h>.

ai_socktype

Socket type. Includes SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM. For a complete list, see <sys/socket.h>.

ai_protocol

Protocol. Includes IPPROTO_TCP and IPPROTO_UDP. For a complete list, see <netinet/in.h>.

ai_addrlen

The length of the ai_addr member.

ai_canonname

The canonical name for nodename.

ai_addr

Binary socket address.

ai_next

A pointer to the next addrinfo structure in the linked list.
