Syntax

typedef struct in6_addr {
  union {
    UCHAR  Byte[16];
    USHORT Word[8];
  } u;
} IN6_ADDR, *PIN6_ADDR, *LPIN6_ADDR;

Members

u

A union that contains the following different representations of the IPv6 transport address:

u.Byte[16]

An array that contains 16 UCHAR-typed values.

u.Word[8]

An array that contains eight USHORT-typed values.

Remarks

All members of the IN6_ADDR structure must be specified in network-byte-order (big-endian).
