Detailed Description

Class for representation an address associated to a network interface.

An WpcAddress object represents an address associated to a network interface.

Note that not all the addresses in the list of addresses are necessarily IPv4 or IPv6 addresses: You must check the sa_family member of the struct sockaddr before interpreting the contents of the address

Examples:

wpcGetMac.cpp, and wpcInit.cpp.
