GetNthINetAddress()

ulong owl::THostEntry::GetNthINetAddress

(

int

index = 0

)

An internet addressing -specific function.

This function returns the indexed internet address in unsigned long form.

The index must be between 0 and the number of address counts (see GetAddressCount()).

Note

This function is FLAWED in that it is internet addressing-specific (AF_INET/PF_INET). The proper way to implement this function would be to look at h_addrtype and h_length to determine the nature of the address type and return something useful or make a derived class that knows about each address family.
