virtual const char* getAddress ( void ) const [pure virtual]

Get the IP address of this endpoint.

virtual const char* getHostByName ( const char * name ) const [pure virtual]

Get the ip address of a host by DNS lookup.

Parameters:

name	The name of a host you need an ip address for

virtual uint16_t getPort ( void ) const [pure virtual]

Get the port of this endpoint.

virtual void setAddress ( const char * addr ) [pure virtual]

Set the address of this endpoint.

Parameters:

addr	The endpoint address

Returns:: 0 on success, -1 on failure (when an hostname cannot be resolved by DNS).

virtual void setAddressPort	(	const char *	addr,
		uint16_t	port
	)		`[pure virtual]`

Set the address and port of this endpoint.

Parameters:

addr	The endpoint address (supplied as an ip address).
port	The endpoint port

Returns:: 0 on success, -1 on failure (when an hostname cannot be resolved by DNS).

virtual void setPort ( uint16_t port ) [pure virtual]

Set the port of this endpoint.

Parameters:

port	The endpoint port

Returns:: 0 on success, -1 on failure (when an hostname cannot be resolved by DNS).
