|
|
Common to all portions of the system are two data structures.
|
|
These structures are used to represent
|
|
addresses and various data objects.
|
|
Addresses, internally are described by the \fIsockaddr\fP structure,
|
|
.DS
|
|
._f
|
|
struct sockaddr {
|
|
short sa_family; /* data format identifier */
|
|
char sa_data[14]; /* address */
|
|
};
|
|
.DE
|
|
All addresses belong to one or more \fIaddress families\fP
|
|
which define their format and interpretation.
|
|
The \fIsa_family\fP field indicates the address family to which the address
|
|
belongs, and the \fIsa_data\fP field contains the actual data value.
|
|
The size of the data field, 14 bytes, was selected based on a study
|
|
of current address formats.*
|
|
Specific address formats use private structure definitions
|
|
that define the format of the data field.
|
|
The system interface supports larger address structures,
|
|
although address-family-independent support facilities, for example routing
|
|
and raw socket interfaces, provide only 14 bytes for address storage.
|
|
Protocols that do not use those facilities (e.g, the current Unix domain)
|
|
may use larger data areas.
|
|

|
|
* Later versions of the system may support variable length addresses.
