Function Documentation

std::vector<NetworkInterfaceInfo> coral::net::ip::GetNetworkInterfaces

(

)

Returns information about available network interfaces.

Note

On Windows, the loopback interface (typically 127.0.0.1) does not have a name, so the NetworkInterfaceInfo::name field will be empty.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

on failure.

bool coral::net::ip::operator!= ( const Address &  a1, const Address &  a2  )

inline

Inequality operator for coral::net::ip::Address.

This is defined as the negation of operator==(const Address&, const Address&).

bool coral::net::ip::operator==	(	const Address &	a1,
		const Address &	a2
	)

Equality operator for coral::net::ip::Address.

This returns true if and only if the addresses themselves match. No host name resolution or interface lookup is performed.
