Struct NetworkInterface

pub struct NetworkInterface { /* private fields */ }

Used to configure which local addresses or interfaces should be used to send network traffic from.

Note that this type is “lazy” in the sense that errors are not returned if the given interfaces are not checked for validity until you actually attempt to use it in a network request.

Implementations

impl NetworkInterface

pub fn any() -> Self

Bind to whatever the networking stack finds suitable. This is the default behavior.

pub fn name(name: impl AsRef<str>) -> Self

Bind to the interface with the given name (such as eth0). This method is not available on Windows as it does not really have names for network devices.

Examples

let loopback = NetworkInterface::name("lo");
let wifi = NetworkInterface::name("wlan0");

pub fn host(host: impl AsRef<str>) -> Self

Bind to the given local host or address. This can either be a host name or an IP address.

Examples

let local = NetworkInterface::host("server.local");
let addr = NetworkInterface::host("192.168.1.2");
