HasNameInfo Inet6 Source # 
HasAddressInfo Inet6 Source # 
Eq (SocketAddress Inet6) Source # 
Show (SocketAddress Inet6) Source # 
Storable (SocketAddress Inet6) Source # 
data SocketAddress Inet6 Source #

An IPv6 socket address.

The socket address contains a port number that may be used by transport protocols like TCP.

SocketAddressInet6 inet6Loopback 8080 0 0

Inet6Address

data Inet6Address Source #

To avoid errors with endianess it was decided to keep this type abstract.

Use inet6AddressFromTuple and inet6AddressToTuple for constructing and deconstructing custom addresses.

Hint: Use the Storable instance. It exposes it exactly as found within an IP packet (big endian if you insist on interpreting it as a number).

Another hint: Use getAddressInfo for parsing and suppress nameserver lookups:

> getAddressInfo (Just "::1") Nothing aiNumericHost :: IO [AddressInfo SocketAddressInet6 Stream TCP]
[AddressInfo {
   addressInfoFlags = AddressInfoFlags 4,
   socketAddress    = SocketAddressInet6 {inet6Address = Inet6Address 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001, inet6Port = Inet6Port 0, inet6FlowInfo = Inet6FlowInfo 0, inet6ScopeId = Inet6ScopeId 0},
   canonicalName    = Nothing }]

SocketAddress Inet6

data family SocketAddress f Source #

The SocketAddress type is a data family. This allows to provide different data constructors depending on the socket family wihtout knowing all of them in advance or the need to patch this core library.
