Detailed Description

The network address classes.

Features of the address classes:

• constructors for easier initialization
• copy constructors and copy operators
• sizeof(sockaddr_T) == sizeof(T_address);
• T_address* is convertible to sockaddr*

Using an address class:

 ipv4_address address(ipv4_address::any, htons(80));
 int socket = ::socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
 ::bind(socket, &address, sizeof(address)):

Interacting with the Network Listener module:

 ipv4_address address(ipv4_address::any, htons(80));
 listener l(sockets_base::ipv4);
 l.bind(address);
