Set naddr with the IPv4 address and port pair.

Note that port and address must be expressed in network byte order, use g_htons() and g_htonl() to convert them to network byte order.

gst_netaddress_get_ip4_address ()

gboolean            gst_netaddress_get_ip4_address      (const GstNetAddress *naddr,

Get the IPv4 address stored in naddr into address. This function requires that the address type of naddr is of type GST_NET_TYPE_IP4.

Note that port and address are expressed in network byte order, use g_ntohs() and g_ntohl() to convert them to host order.

gst_netaddress_set_ip6_address ()

void                gst_netaddress_set_ip6_address      (GstNetAddress *naddr,

Set naddr with the IPv6 address and port pair.

Note that port must be expressed in network byte order, use g_htons() to convert it to network byte order.

gst_netaddress_get_ip6_address ()

gboolean            gst_netaddress_get_ip6_address      (const GstNetAddress *naddr,

Get the IPv6 address stored in naddr into address.

If naddr is of type GST_NET_TYPE_IP4, the transitional IP6 address is returned.

Note that port is expressed in network byte order, use g_ntohs() to convert it to host order.

gst_netaddress_get_address_bytes ()

gint                gst_netaddress_get_address_bytes    (const GstNetAddress *naddr,

Get just the address bytes stored in naddr into address.

Note that port is expressed in network byte order, use g_ntohs() to convert it to host order. IP4 addresses are also stored in network byte order.

Since 0.10.22

gst_netaddress_set_address_bytes ()

gint                gst_netaddress_set_address_bytes    (GstNetAddress *naddr,

Set just the address bytes stored in naddr into address.

Note that port must be expressed in network byte order, use g_htons() to convert it to network byte order order. IP4 address bytes must also be stored in network byte order.

Since 0.10.22
