It does not really makes sense. Only defined to allow usage in containers.

Parameters

[in] other Other instance to compare.

Returns: True if this instance is less than to other.

◆ hasPort()

virtual bool ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::hasPort ( ) const

virtualinherited

Check if a port is set.

Returns: True if port is set.

◆ port()

virtual Port ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::port ( ) const

virtualinherited

Get the port if there is one.

The default implementation returns AnyPort.

Returns: The port number or AnyPort if there is none.

Reimplemented in ts::IPSocketAddress.

◆ setPort()

virtual void ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::setPort ( Port port )

virtualinherited

Set the port.

The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

[in] port The port number as an integer in host byte order.

Reimplemented in ts::IPSocketAddress.

◆ clearPort()

virtual void ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::clearPort ( )

virtualinherited

Clear the port.

The default implementatio sets the port to AnyPort

◆ toFullString()

virtual UString ts::AbstractNetworkAddress::toFullString ( ) const

virtualinherited

Convert to a string object in numeric format without the default compaction.

The method toString() (inherited from StringifyInterface) returns a default representation of the string, with possible compaction of omitted defaults. This method returns a complete version of the address representation. The default implementation returns the same value as toString().

Returns: This object, converted as a string.

Reimplemented in ts::IPAddress, ts::IPAddressMask, and ts::IPSocketAddress.
