generic::stream

Encapsulates the flags needed for a generic stream-oriented socket.

class stream_protocol

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

Name	Description
family	Obtain an identifier for the protocol family.
protocol	Obtain an identifier for the protocol.
stream_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::stream_protocol class contains flags necessary for stream-oriented sockets of any address family and protocol.

Constructing using a native address family and socket protocol:

stream_protocol p(AF_INET, IPPROTO_TCP);

Constructing from a specific protocol type:

stream_protocol p(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4());

Distinct objects: Safe.

Shared objects: Safe.
