ipsec_portof, ipsec_sockaddrof, ipsec_sockaddrlenofSYNOPSIS
#include <freeswan.h>
int portof(const ip_address *src);
void setportof(int port, ip_address *dst);
struct sockaddr *sockaddrof(ip_address *src);
size_t sockaddrlenof(const ip_address *src);
DESCRIPTION
The <freeswan.h> internal type ip_address contains one of the sockaddr types internally. Reliance on this feature is discouraged, but it may occasionally be necessary. These functions provide low-level tools for this purpose.Portof and setportof respectively read and write the port-number field of the internal sockaddr. The values are in network byte order.
Sockaddrof returns a pointer to the internal sockaddr, for passing to other functions.
Sockaddrlenof reports the size of the internal sockaddr, for use in storage allocation.
DIAGNOSTICS
Portof returns -1, sockaddrof returns NULL, and sockaddrlenof returns 0 if an unknown address family is found within the ip_address.HISTORY

These functions all depend on low-level details of the ip_address type, which are in principle subject to change. Avoid using them unless really necessary.
