Re: [gnet] IP address of a TCP client

[Olivier Michel <Olivier Michel cyberbotics com>]

All right. I got it now. I have to use the socket returned by
gnet_tcp_socket_server_accept, which is the client and from which I can get the
inetaddr with gnet_tcp_socket_get_inetaddr. Then, I have to call
gnet_inetaddr_get_canonical_name to have the IP of the client...

Thanks!
