APR::SockAddr(3) Perl API for APR socket address structure

Synopsis

  use APR::SockAddr ();
  
  my $ip = $sock_addr->ip_get;
  my $port = $sock_addr->port;

Description

"APR::SockAddr" provides an access to a socket address structure fields.

Normally you'd get a socket address object, by calling: 

  use Apache2::Connection ();
  my $remote_sock_addr = $c->remote_addr;
  my $local_sock_addr  = $c->remote_local;

API

"APR::SockAddr" provides the following functions and/or methods:

ip_get

Get the IP address of the socket 

  $ip = $sock_addr->ip_get();
obj: $sock_addr ( "APR::SockAddr object" )
ret: $ip ( string )
since: 2.0.00

If you are familiar with how perl's "Socket" works: 

  use Socket 'sockaddr_in';
  my ($serverport, $serverip) = sockaddr_in(getpeername($local_sock));
  my ($remoteport, $remoteip) = sockaddr_in(getpeername($remote_sock));

in apr-speak that'd be written as: 

  use APR::SockAddr ();
  use Apache2::Connection ();
  my $serverport = $c->local_addr->port;
  my $serverip   = $c->local_addr->ip_get;
  my $remoteport = $c->remote_addr->port;
  my $remoteip   = $c->remote_addr->ip_get;

port

Get the IP address of the socket 

  $port = $sock_addr->port();
obj: $sock_addr ( "APR::SockAddr object" )
ret: $port ( integer )
since: 2.0.00

Example: see "ip_get()"

Unsupported API

"APR::SockAddr" also provides auto-generated Perl interface for a few other methods which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their API is a subject to change. These methods will be finalized later as a need arises. If you want to rely on any of the following methods please contact the the mod_perl development mailing list so we can help each other take the steps necessary to shift the method to an officially supported API.

equal

META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed

See if the IP addresses in two APR socket addresses are equivalent. Appropriate logic is present for comparing IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses with IPv4 addresses. 

  $ret = $addr1->equal($addr2);
obj: $addr1 ( "APR::SockAddr object" )
One of the APR socket addresses.
arg1: $addr2 ( "APR::SockAddr object" )
The other APR socket address.
ret: $ret ( integer )
since: subject to change

The return value will be non-zero if the addresses are equivalent.
