Chapter 6. Address Manager
SOCTEST - USER'S GUIDE
In this chapter, it describes about the address management.

In Address Manager view, creates, deletes and rearranges an address.

Creation an address

With tapping New Address, moves to the next address input view and creats a new address.
The created addrsses are listed in Address Manager view.

The maximum number of addresses that can be registered is 32.

This app does an external network communication via IPv4 socket, and an inter process communication via UNIX domain socket.
Creates each in the AF_INET / AF_UNIX family address format, and uses it as the destination or listening address.

AF_INET address

Regists the pair of host and port number in address input view.
If specifies host with a FQDN, you can regist only when the host name can be resolved with DNS. Other than that, no restrictions on registered addresses, including multicast and broadcast.

When you regist as a listening address, specifies the address of device network interface or ANY address (0.0.0.0).
See Chapter 5. Interface Configuration about an interace's address.

AF_UNIX address

Specifies and regists a file name (UNIX path) that is the substance of UNIX domain address.
When an UNIX domain socket is assigned the address, a socket file will be created by kernel. Inter process communication is realized with this file.

[Note]
In general, specifies a full path as an address. But, this app uses a relative path.

Deletion an address

With swiping left a row, deletes the address.
When AF_UNIX address, deletes the corresponding socket file together.

Rearranging addresses

With tapping Edit at the top right to enter edit mode.
Reorders the addresses for ease of use.
