Properties:

• public AddressFamily family { construct set; get; }
• public string name { construct set; get; }
• public string physical { get; }
• public int port { construct set; get; }
• public void* sockaddr { construct set; get; }

Static methods:

• public static bool equal_by_ip (Address addr1, Address addr2)
  Tests if addr1 and addr2 have the same IP address. This method can be used with hash_by_ip to create a HashTable that hashes on IP address.
• public static bool equal_by_name (Address addr1, Address addr2)
  Tests if addr1 and addr2 have the same "name". This method can be used with hash_by_name to create a HashTable that hashes on address "names".
• public static uint hash_by_ip (void* addr)
  A hash function (for HashTable) that corresponds to equal_by_ip, qv
• public static uint hash_by_name (void* addr)
  A hash function (for HashTable) that corresponds to equal_by_name, qv

Creation methods:

• public Address (string name, uint port)
  Creates a Address from name and port . The Address's IP address may not be available right away; the caller can call resolve_async or resolve_sync to force a DNS resolution.
• public Address.any (AddressFamily family, uint port)
  Returns a Address corresponding to the "any" address for family (or null if family isn't supported), suitable for using as a listening Socket.
• public Address.from_sockaddr (void* sa, int len)
  Returns a Address equivalent to sa (or null if sa's address family isn't supported)

Methods:

• public SocketAddress get_gsockaddr ()
  Creates a new SocketAddress corresponding to addr (which is assumed to only have one socket address associated with it).
• public unowned string get_name ()
  Returns the hostname associated with addr.
• public unowned string get_physical ()
  Returns the physical address associated with addr as a string. (Eg, "127.0.0.1"). If the address is not yet known, returns null.
• public uint get_port ()
  Returns the port associated with addr.
• public void* get_sockaddr (int len)
  Returns the sockaddr associated with addr, with its length in *@len. If the sockaddr is not yet known, returns null.
• public bool is_resolved ()
  Tests if addr has already been resolved. Unlike the other Address "get" methods, this is safe to call when addr might be being resolved in another thread.
• public void resolve_async (MainContext? async_context, Cancellable? cancellable, AddressCallback callback)
  Asynchronously resolves the missing half of addr (its IP address if it was created with Address, or its hostname if it was created with Address.from_sockaddr or Address.any.)
• public uint resolve_sync (Cancellable? cancellable)
  Synchronously resolves the missing half of addr, as with resolve_async.
