generic::raw_protocol

Encapsulates the flags needed for a generic raw socket.

class raw_protocol

Name	Description
endpoint	The type of an endpoint.
socket	The generic socket type.

Name	Description
family	Obtain an identifier for the protocol family.
protocol	Obtain an identifier for the protocol.
raw_protocol	Construct a protocol object for a specific address family and protocol. Construct a generic protocol object from a specific protocol.
type	Obtain an identifier for the type of the protocol.

Name	Description
operator!=	Compare two protocols for inequality.
operator==	Compare two protocols for equality.

The generic::raw_protocol class contains flags necessary for raw sockets of any address family and protocol.

Constructing using a native address family and socket protocol:

raw_protocol p(AF_INET, IPPROTO_ICMP);

Constructing from a specific protocol type:

raw_protocol p(boost::asio::ip::icmp::v4());

Distinct objects: Safe.

Shared objects: Safe.
