#### generic::stream_protocol::endpoint

The type of an endpoint.

    typedef basic_endpoint< stream_protocol > endpoint;

###### Types

Name | Description
--- | ---
data_type | The type of the endpoint structure. This type is dependent on the underlying implementation of the socket layer.
protocol_type | The protocol type associated with the endpoint.

###### Member Functions

Name | Description
--- | ---
basic_endpoint | Default constructor. Construct an endpoint from the specified socket address. Construct an endpoint from the specific endpoint type. Copy constructor.
capacity | Get the capacity of the endpoint in the native type.
data | Get the underlying endpoint in the native type.
operator= | Assign from another endpoint.
protocol | The protocol associated with the endpoint.
resize | Set the underlying size of the endpoint in the native type.
size | Get the underlying size of the endpoint in the native type.

###### Friends

Name | Description
--- | ---
operator!= | Compare two endpoints for inequality.
operator< | Compare endpoints for ordering.
operator<= | Compare endpoints for ordering.
operator== | Compare two endpoints for equality.
operator> | Compare endpoints for ordering.
operator>= | Compare endpoints for ordering.

The `generic::basic_endpoint` class template describes an endpoint that may be associated with any socket type.

###### Remarks

The socket types sockaddr type must be able to fit into a `sockaddr_storage` structure.

###### Thread Safety

Distinct objects: Safe.

Shared objects: Unsafe.
