== NAME
nng_sockaddr_in6 - IPv6 socket address
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
enum sockaddr_family {
NNG_AF_INET6 = 4,
};
typedef struct {
uint16_t sa_family;
uint16_t sa_port;
uint8_t sa_addr[16];
} nng_sockaddr_in6;
----
== DESCRIPTION
(((socket, address, IPv6)))
An `nng_sockaddr_in6` is the flavor of xref:nng_sockaddr.5.adoc[`nng_sockaddr`]
used to represent TCP (and sometimes UDP) addresses,
including the Internet Protocol (IP) address and port number.(((port number, TCP)))
This structure is used with IPv6 addresses.
A different structure, xref:nng_sockaddr_in.5.adoc[`nng_sockaddr_in`], is used
for IPv4 addresses.
The following structure members are present:
`sa_family`::
This field will always have the value ((`NNG_AF_INET6`)).
`sa_port`::
This field holds the TCP or UDP port number, in network byte-order.
A zero value here is used when no specific port number is indicated.
`sa_addr`::
This field holds the ((IP address))(((address, IPv6))) in
network-byte order.
TIP: The `sa_port` and `sa_addr` fields are in network-byte order to
facilitate their use with system APIs such as `inet_ntop()`.
Most platforms use some form of BSD-derived network API, which uses
network-byte order in the various structures (such as `sockaddr_in6`).
IMPORTANT: This field appears similar to BSD `sockaddr_in6`, but it is
_not_ the same, and they may not be used interchangeably.
