OTInitInetAddress

Fills in an InetAddress structure with the data you provide.

C INTERFACE

void OTInitInetAddress (InetAddress *addr,
                        InetPort port,
                        InetHost host);

C++ INTERFACE

None. C++ clients use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

addr

A pointer to an InetAddress structure that you allocate. The function fills in this structure.

port

The port number of the address.

host

The IP address of the host in network byte order (that is, high-order byte first) in hexadecimal format. This must be a fully qualified address.

DESCRIPTION

This function fills in the fAddressType field of the InetAddress structure with the value AF_INET. You use the InetAddress structure when providing a TCP or UDP address to the Open Transport functions OTConnect, OTSndURequest, and OTBind. You are not required to use the OTInitInetAddress function when creating an InetAddress structure; this function is provided for your convenience only.

SEE ALSO

The InetAddress structure is described in "Internet Address Structure" on page 8-22.

You can use the OTInetStringToHost function (page 8-54) to put the address in InetHost format.
